Shannon Guthrie, RD

I have been a Registered RD for over 20 years. I went to Oregon Health Science University for my internship where I was involved in critical care, ICU, pediatrics and many other disciplines. I moved back home to California where I have spent most of my career in Long Term Care working as a Quality and Compliance RD. I oversaw two skilled nursing facilities, Assisted living and Memory care. I have worked in kitchens and have done many kitchen inspections to make sure that all regulations and policies and procedures were being followed. I've been the lead RD in a diabetes trial to prove the efficacy and safety of a new drug. I currently teach at the local junior college for the Dietary Managers program I help to create.                                                                   

 I was laid off in Sept of 2023 and took a look at myself and my love for dietetics and chose to start my MS in  herbal medicine. I have always had a passion for holistic approaches to healing. I love to garden, cook and learn about herbs that help with the treatment of a disease rather than relying on prescription medications that just put a 'bandage' on the problem. I look forward to working with clients that have the same mindset.
