I'm a healthy dieting, nutrition and fitness advocate and amateur bodybuilder pushing for moderation and sanity in an eating disordered culture (read more at: thewellnesschick.net). A long-time student of nutrition and eating disorders, I use my knowledge and science to push for simple, common sense ways to embrace a lifestyle that ensures both physical and mental health. Seeing many of my friends starve and hurt themselves due to EDs, I'm very passionate about educating the public about embracing a healthy lifestyle that does NOT promote ED behavior.
My professional and educational background is in nutrition; I am a current active contributor to Yahoo! Sports, Yahoo! Shine & MoneyCrashers.com. I previously contributed to LIVESTRONG, DietSpotlight.com & worked behind-the-scenes for several diet supplement companies.
