I have always believed that it is the small things that we do, like the food that we eat, that helps predicts our health and satisfaction in who we are and what we accomplish. I am now launching this blog in order to bridge my strong belief in our ability to maintain sound health, physically, mentally and emotionally by understanding our bodies, the food we eat and the emotional environments in which we live. Please keep these ideas in mind when you add to this blog.Now for a little about my career: I have done many things since becoming a dietitian. From working in long term care as a chief clinical RD to being a food service director and then opening a private practice as one of the first NYS dietitians to become a certified diabetes educator to becoming a past president of Metro NY American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE). I have also participated on the NY Heart Associations’ Task Force “Lighten Up.”, co-authored “Survival Skills for Diabetics” (with AADE - distributed as a teaching guide for newly diagnosed diabetics in hospitals), professionally lectured for many professional as well as lay groups, helped to created diabetes teaching programs and support groups, worked with a health care team in NY Public School 86 - helping to fight obesity and chronic disease in our youth to appearing on cable TV and drive time radio shows. Currently, I work with ND Labs, dba Nutritional Designs (http://www.ndlabs.com/, http://www.ndlabs.com/) to provide expertise in bowel management, wound healing, diabetes as well as general nutritional well being to those in long term care.
