Personalized Nutrition Coaching

Why a Nutrition Coach?

Most of us have tried fad diets and different workouts in an effort to lose weight, gain muscle or just eat healthier, but end up right where we started. A nutrition coach can help you achieve your goals by changing the way you think about food and provide you with the tools to lead a healthier life!

A little bit about me!

I have been in healthcare for the last 20 years, currently working as an Ob/Gyn with women at all stages in their lives. As a busy mother of 2 teenage boys, I know how hard it is to prioritize your own needs.

I became interested in nutrition coaching when my son joined the high school wrestling team and needed to "make weight" for his division. I thought I knew how to help guide him from my medical training but found that it wasn't enough. I decided to take a nutrition course through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and became a Certified Nutrition Coach in November, 2022. It gave me the tools to not only help my son but to also help others struggling to navigate the confusing world of dieting and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

I have discovered that keeping a healthy weight is not just about what you eat but about how you live. It can be challenging but it is attainable by finding the right balance of nutrition and physical activity. Realizing that every body is different and what works for one person might not work for another is so important in finding that balance.

Make a commitment to yourself and take the first step by checking out the program options. Reach out for more info or to schedule your first session! Smart Plate Nutrition can help guide and support you to that next level of health through lifestyle changes that you have control over....one plate at a time!
