Heather McGowan, RD

Hi, I’m Heather.  Food is my passion, I love to eat, cook and talk about food.  Once I get going, it’s hard to stop (both eating and talking).  

​

People say I’ve been blessed with good genes, but that’s not true at all (both of my parents died early due to poor lifestyle habits) and I struggle just like everyone else.  Lifestyle habits, both chosen and naturally occurring (menopause), can created a black hole that you feel you can’t get out of.    

​

I stumbled upon the Blood Type Diet when I was struggling as a young mother.  It was a game changer for me.   When I first started following the guidelines, traditional dietitians thought I was crazy but as time goes by, and science advances, there is more and more evidence supporting blood type nutrition support.    

​

It is amazing to witness when one food acts like a medicine and heals one person, but acts like a poison for someone else.  Being gluten sensitive I witness this first hand. Taking a holistic approach, creating SMART goals and taking one day at a time is how I can help you reach your goals.   

​

I am a Framingham State (College) University graduate and have worked throughout New England as both a Registered Dietitian and a ServSafe Instructor / Proctor.  I have had my own private practice and consulting business for years and continue to love the field of Nutrition.
