About Ruth

Hello, I became dedicated in the field of nutrition due to battling obesity as a child and teen. After losing 80 pounds my life changed! And I know I can help you do the same! Diabetes runs in my family so that is another passion for me.. I have over 25 years in motivational counseling, media and public speaking. I want to get to know you and share the latest evidence based science in a language you can understand. I love being a positive partner in helping you become the greatest version of yourself. I am certified as a Diabetes Care and Education Specialist, as well as Board Certified in Obesity and Weight Management. Fun facts about me...I am a Peanuts collector (Snoopy) I love to do artwork, and at home I relax with my sweet dogs, hope to meet you soon!

Approach to care

I need to get to know you and strive to connect with you; so we can make reasonable goals. I know we need to stay motivated! My goal is to be honest and bring you to deeply understand some of the possible causes of your health condition. I am going to support you every step of the way... but be yourself and let's be a great team!

Your first session with Ruth

We will chat and see what you feel your goals are and what you are thinking. After listening, I will share some ideas and some nutritional science; share my thoughts and expertise...and then we figure out what our next steps are. Of course we will discuss labs, and possible outcomes. Getting to clear communication and motivation is the goal !
