meet Meredith
I am a certified Health Coach and Nutrition Consultant who can help you and your family feel your best and function at peak performance.
The pillars of my nutrition philosophy:
Food heals. Really.
Whole foods, simply prepared can be delicious, satisfying, nourishing and even glamourous.
People don’t need complicated diets, meal plans, or counting. Your body will guide you, if you listen to it.
Targeted nutrients or supplements, used appropriately, could expedite health outcomes.
The food you eat is only part of the picture. Regular exercise, good sleep, stress relief and a community are also important.
I have forever had love of simple food and I delight in the way meals spark togetherness and community. My appreciation for simple food from the earth began at an early age, and some of my fondest childhood memories are of family gathered around an easy summer meal on the Chesapeake: steamed crabs covered in Old Bay and fresh silver queen corn slathered with butter.
Several years ago, when family and personal health issues arose, I was forced to reexamine what healthy eating meant for my family. I researched the correlation between food and wellness and came to realize that everything you eat is either preventing disease or causing it. And, I learned that by building simple and delicious meals from nourishing foods, health could not only be restored but improved upon. The spark was ignited and I have become passionate about helping families resolve health issues so that kids and adults alike can feel and function their best.
I am now an evangelist for how real food fuels health and I want to help others understand that healthy eating doesn’t have to be fussy or time consuming.
I hold a bachelors degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I’m a graduate of the Holistic Nutrition program at Bauman College and a certified health coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. I also serve on the Family Advisory Council at Stanford Children’s Health|Lucille Packard Children’s Hospital.
