I'm finding this field of nutrition to be very interesting for tons of reasons.
One of them is that everyone (okay, maybe not everyone) thinks they're an expert.
I believe this is because FOOD is something everyone is very familiar with.
We eat every day. Everyone eats pretty much every day. Most of us, many times every day.
Therefore, EVERYONE has this huge history of experiences with food.
This creates a very complex dynamic because it gives all of us so many opportunities to either have a good relationship with food, or a poor one. This relationship is influenced by culture, by media, by our parents' relationships with food, by our friends, by what other people tell us about food, and by our own relationship with our self.
Do you reward yourself with food?
Do you have a hard time eating with or around others?
Do you see restricting what you eat as self-punishment?
Do you separate enjoying food with its purpose? Meaning... can you enjoy food while at the same time understanding that we eat also to nourish our bodies?
Does food make you feel guilty?
This is a process I am learning more and more about and won't pretend to have all the answers. But I believe how we view and think about food (our relationship with it) is just about as important and the things we put in our bodies.

- My best friend Charlie and I moved from the deep South to the great North for me to go to graduate school at the University of Minnesota. I earned a Masters Degree in Public Health Nutrition and Dietetics, and we've moved back to Louisiana. I'm a dietitian who wants to help people improve their quality of life through healthy eating! We love adventures, traveling, food and family. We have two dogs: our corgi Punkin and our lab goofy Rufus. We are very blessed to be in love and to walk through life together!
