• Teaching you how to grocery shop, read labels, modify your favorite recipes, and dine out at restaurants to meet your special diet needs
• Guiding you on eating well during pregnancy and lactation.
• Designing a nutrition program for peak athletic performance.
• Recommending nutrition goals for eating disorders.
• Determining if you are eating properly.
• Translating the latest scientific findings into easy-to-understand nutrition information.
