I
am a Registered Dietitian (RD) with the American Dietetic Association.
I earned a Masters Degree (MS) in Nutrition Education from Teachers
College of Columbia University in 1995 and a Bachelors Degree (BS) in
Psychology from University of Massachusetts in 1985. I am a Licensed
Dietitian (LDN), which means the state of North Carolina recognizes
my credentials.
I
have been exploring nutrition on a personal, educational, and professional
level since 1986. I decided to study nutrition in graduate school due
to my own discovery of improved health and well-being through better
eating. Over the ensuing years, I have increasingly encountered the
important relationship between food and ecology. The way we grow our
foods, where they're grown and transported to, who is making what kinds
of profits, and how the foods affect the health of our planet and our
own bodies are all intertwined and impact us all greatly.
I
have been following a gluten-free diet since 1995 and have noticed that
I feel much better. Many of my chronic symptoms have all but vanished.
(A gluten-free diet excludes wheat, rye, barley, and oats.) Because
of my experience, I have decided to pursue a specialty in food sensitivities.
I help others realize the important benefits that food-sensitive individuals
can gain from eating "safely" and nutritiously, while at the
same time learning to enjoy a new way of eating.
I
am a charter member of the Asheville Gluten Intolerance Group
(GIG) and was a founding member of EarthSave Boston. I have volunteered
for the French Broad Food Coop, MANNA Food Bank while
living in Asheville, NC.
Some
of my interests include spending lots of time in the kitchen trying
out new recipes, bicycling, hiking, loving kitties, keeping up-to-date
on independently produced news, traveling, and listening to music of
many kinds.
