Health Professionals near Pasadena, MD

In the past, I struggled to understand good nutrition and waded through many diet trends without benefit. I studied nutrition science because I wanted to learn more about how to nourish myself and my family. Now I get to use what I learned to help the people I love the most and help others in my community. I believe everyone is worthy of good nutrition and nutrition education. I want to be your trusted resource and help you develop a simple eating strategy you enjoy.
