Diabetes
I was a Certified Diabetes Educator for 15 years. I understand the importance of establishing and maintaining good glucose control. I also understand that it is not easy and having someone to help you establish goals and work toward them is so valuable.
We can work together on meal planning, learning which foods impact glucose control and the best meal component combinations to help you establish improved blood sugar. There many pieces to diabetes management: food, medication, mental health, sleep, and movement. I will help you work toward better improved blood sugars by taking an individualized, holistic approach.
Womens Health
A few areas of interest in Women’s Health are PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), prenatal nutrition, and gestational diabetes. PCOS is one of the most common endocrine disorders impacting women. There are many helpful approaches to support clients navigating life with PCOS. Nutrition, sleep, exercise, and being connected to what is happening in your body are crucial for managing PCOS. Making some changes in diet and lifestyle can improve fertility and decrease risk factors related to PCOS.
​
I also have experience in counseling those who need support with gestational diabetes during pregnancy. For many women the perimenopausal years and later can be challenging in terms of weight and body image concerns. Metabolic changes happen and sometimes it is helpful to make diet and lifestyle changes to feel your best.
Nutrition Therapy
Nutrition therapy or nutrition counseling is beneficial for those who would like to decrease their risk for heart disease, cancer, obesity, or other nutrition related diseases. If your cholesterol number or blood pressure is elevated, making the right food and lifestyle choices can make a meaningful difference.
When clients come for an initial assessment we will take a detailed look at your lifestyle patterns, current medications, supplements, and any recent lab work available. Based on all of this information we can create an individual plan to move you toward better health.
