I’ve been in love with food since I was a small child. One of my earliest memories is cooking with my Mom. But I also struggled with weight for a lot of my life, and recently had to deal with rising blood sugar levels. I’ve been helping my husband adjust his diet to improve his cholesterol for several years. One day, while I was reading my umpteenth book on nutrition and health, I thought, “Why not get certified and put what I’m learning to good use?”

I’ve been a technical writer with NASA for almost 20 years and spent 8 years in the finance industry before that. Along the way I took some food-related side trips, getting multiple professional wine certifications and writing a blog at ClearLakeWineTasting.blogspot.com. Then I created a website with over 70 flavors of higher protein and dairy-free ice cream recipes at GourmetProteinIceCream.com. I was headed for culinary school and completed about 4 classes, before realizing that nutrition was my real interest.

My goal is to apply my nutritional knowledge and cooking experience to help you find a way of eating that makes you happy and achieves your goals.

While I’m happy to work with any nutrition goals, my expertise is in the areas of:

• Women over 30

• Perimenopause and menopause

• Blood sugar management

• Cholesterol management

• Cooking and recipe development/recipe makeovers

My philosophy is:

1. There are many paths to good health.

2. You deserve to enjoy what you eat.

3. Small, sustainable changes lead to permanent results.
