As someone who has lived with type-1 diabetes for over 15yrs, I get how it is to live with a chronic condition while also balancing the rest of life, including the rigors of high intensity physical activity. As a CDCES, I love my fellow T1Ds, but I specialize in diabetes management of all types and can help monitor and alter meal balance and timing, food-medication dosing strategies, carb counting habits, physical activity, and more. With my continuing history as a power athlete, I also have a passion for sports nutrition as well as general heart and gut health.
I offer a non-diet, whole-person approach focused on nutritional but also overall lifestyle balance to achieve sustainable dietary patterns that help with any condition or training schedule. I aim to be a partner in your care and develop the right, sustainable, plan for YOU and your goals, whatever they may be.
I would love to hear from you about how we can make healthful changes in your life, together! Shoot me an email, text, call - whatever is comfortable for you - and let's see how we can work together on your goals, today!
