"My GF educational shopping trip with Melinda was an amazing learning experience that was both fun and informative but also something that was so absolutely necessary for me. She is so passionate and knowledgable about nutrition and gluten free shopping that my future grocery trips will no longer seem overwhelming to me. What made this experience like "Christmas" to me is Melinda truly cares to make a difference in one's life and she certainly has done that for me. Thanks so much! "- a patient
• One-on-One Dietitian Coaching
Join me for individual coaching on counseling patients on the gluten free diet and lifetstyle. We'll cover lab values, nutrient deficiencies, the diet itself, hidden gluten, controversies, how to use the whole GF grains, how to label-read anywhere, the best resources for your patients, etc.
"Thank you for such a positive experience. You provided me with great information I can share with my patients. I am excited about going to my grocery store here and mapping out a guide that will help GF patients find tasty alternatives. After talking about all those grains I can’t wait to try them myself. Thank you again for sharing your incredible wealth of knowledge. I will put the information to good use." - Jane, RD from New Hampshire
