I'm a firm believer in the power of carbohydrate restriction for diabetes, prediabetes, obesity, hormonal disorders such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and healthy aging. A former court reporter, I became a dietitian in 2008 because I wanted to help people improve their health through good nutrition.
My goal is to provide accurate, useful information and support people's efforts to control their blood sugar and achieve a healthy weight, along with improving overall health and vitality.
Aging is a natural part of life. However, eating well, exercising, managing stress, laughing often, and taking the best care of yourself can dramatically slow down the aging process.
I'm 53, and thanks to a low-carb lifestyle and gentle exercise, I feel better than I did in my 30s. I live in South Florida and enjoy reading, writing, learning, cooking, walking, Essentrics, and spending time with my wonderful husband, family, and friends.
