Pam Thompson, RD

I am a RDN, and I own a company that employees RDN’s to nursing homes, hospitals, addictive disease centers, migrant children, dialysis centers, Area Agency on Aging/Meals on Wheels, physician’s offices, and private industry.

My passion is the company I created 23 years ago to help people with chronic disease management. I have developed a visual tool on our mobile app-foodfitnessfirst.com and foodfitnessfirstceu.com. I have developed books that are about 55 to 60 pages explaining your disease, high and low literacy bi-folds, and 2 mobile apps to help patients and educators to better educate their patients. Blogs and recipes to view: foodfitnessfirst.com.

The FOOD SPIRAL® are Healthy, Diabetes, Carb Counting, Low Sodium, Renal, and Renal Diabetes. There are 30+ online classes that include pre and posttests, videos (Explanation of the FOOD SPIRAL) Cooking, Food Labels, Shopping, Labs, Disease Process, resources including menus, recipes, exercise, relaxation, and much more.

I love to cook healthy and unhealthy foods/meals for my family, neighbors, and friends. I love working as a RDN, creating materials for patients, educating patient and staff, working in the yard planting flowers, and walking in the woods with my husband looking at the quail, gopher tortious (we had 11 babies last year by 1 gopher), deer, fox, alligators, watching the egrets eat bugs as my son mulches the tress due to the hurricane, and seeing all the flowers come back after a controlled burn.

I have worked with patients and after 11 weeks using the FOOD SPIRAL their blood pressure decreased more than 40 points on the top and bottom, lost 26 to 32 lbs. by eating healthy foods, A1C went from 10 to 6, cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL and LDL came to within normal limits and their eating and exercise habits changed. I am all about helping the patient reach their goals based on their disease/s.

I LOVE BEING A RDN and my goal is to have a FOOD SPIRAL for each disease and each combination of diseases.
