Hey! So excited to meet you - my name is Kara! As a dietitian, I believe in taking an individualized, non-diet approach to nutrition. Our relationship with food informs and impacts all of the relationships in our lives. My goal is to empower you with the tools and knowledge to build a healthier and more balanced relationship with food and your body!
My initial interest in nutrition was sparked through my own struggle with my relationship with food and my body growing up. I ended up seeking out the help of a Registered Dietitian who completely changed my life and taught me how to fuel properly to improve my performance (and quality of life!). As a result, I ended up getting the opportunity to run cross country and track while completing my undergraduate degree. I graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from Troy University and went on to complete my Master’s degree in Nutrition from Georgia State University.
I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of different population groups ranging from infants to older adults and conditions included but not limited to critical illness, diabetes, kidney disease, failure to thrive, and malnutrition. I am passionate about teaching people how to sift through all the nutrition misinformation online to find out what works best for their own unique body!
I can’t wait to embark on this journey with you. Taking the first step on your nutrition journey can be scary so I commend you for being here!
