My story

My journey with food started with a diet. Don’t they all?

Many years ago, I lost weight with Weight Watchers. From the outside, I was a success. But on the inside, I was struggling with low energy, horrible digestion, and a not-so-great relationship with food.

After years of struggling, I left my corporate marketing job to become a dietitian. I wanted to learn how to get healthy without restriction and obsession. And after six years, two degrees, and a lot of unpaid hours in my dietetic internship… I did.

I finally found balance with food–and now it’s my mission to help you do the same.

You don’t have to choose between a healthy diet and a happy relationship with food. Promise! Real Life Nutritionist is here to show you exactly how.

What is a registered dietitian?

A Registered Dietitian (RD) nutritionist is a regulated health professional that helps people make food decisions that support their health. 

To become a dietitian, you have to complete some rigorous requirements:

  • Undergraduate degree in nutrition and dietetics that includes classes in chemistry, food science, clinical nutrition and research methods
  • Competitive dietetic internship or combined masters-internship where you learn from other practicing dietitians in a range of disciplines
  • A national exam to finalize your RD credential

A Registered Dietitian is a trusted source of evidence-based nutrition information because we’re held to a high standard by our regulatory college. 

And when you work with a dietitian, you know you’re hiring a thoroughly trained nutrition professional with a strong academic background.

My nutrition philosophy

I believe in the power of nutrition to transform your health.

And I’ll never promote anything that can harm your wallet, your mindset, or your relationship with food.

I believe in a nutrition approach that is realistic and doable. After all, a healthy eating pattern is only truly healthy if you can stick to it.

At Real Life Nutritionist, you’ll find:

  • A nutrition approach that celebrates and includes the foods you love
  • Easy recipes that use minimal and everyday ingredients
  • Realistic nutrition advice that leaves room for nuance
