WHAT PEOPLE SAY
I have not had many conferences on nutrition so this information was helpful - professionally and personally. It was well presented and clear to understand. I would attend again.
I really learned a lot from today’s course. Amy was very knowledgeable in her field. Most CE seminars are very boring and they just read PowerPoints but Amy presented and explained everything and made it very interesting.
This is the first CE course that has made me want to learn more about nutrition for my patients AND for myself!

Hi there, I'm Amy!
I am a Registered Dietitian of over 15 years in a behavioral health setting. I have also been teaching nutrition at our local community college in beautiful Chattanooga, TN for over 13 years (online and on ground). I received my Bachelor of Science in Food and Nutrition Science at Auburn University and completed my dietetic internship at The University of Alabama at Birmingham. Helping people understand basic nutrition fundamentals and squashing quackery and food fear is my passion. I believe that our patients and clients deserve better. If you would like to learn more about nutrition and how to help your patients and clients feel empowered to enhance their health in simple, easy to understand methods, come join me!
