Background
I am a Registered Dietitian with a Masters degree in Education. I love the science of nutrition and translating it into practical application for those around me. I have worked with clients and as an educator of future dietitians simultaneously for 20 years. Doing both has enabled me to develop a deep understanding of how education and learning can benefit those looking to grow and make positive changes.
My clients can expect to come away from our sessions with the knowledge-driven motivation to meet their health goals, find joy in food and eating again (or for the first time!), and develop sustainable habits and practices.
I enjoy working with adults who are seeking new "ways of eating" rather than diets and am especially interested in helping women with hormone and age related challenges.
I love all things food and cooking and love spending a day off gardening or in the kitchen in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. I actually enjoy listening to nutrition science podcasts and have a personal library of food and nutrition books. I share my thoughts about new things I learn on my blog, Food for Thought, at www.alagniappelifestyle.com and on socials @alagniappelifestyle on Instagram and Pinterest.
