Hi, I’m Dionne

I grew up in the 1970’s. My grandparents and great grandparents had vegetable gardens that we ate from every day. My mom baked her own bread, made her own yogurt, and did not buy “sugary” cereal. My sister and I played outside as long as the daylight lasted. As a result, I developed healthy habits early on. I lived in Europe for several years and my parents immersed us in the culture. We ate a Mediterranean diet (consistently ranked among the best diets for overall health) just like the locals. Our main method of transportation was walking — lots of walking! We were healthy and happy.

Fast forward to my adult years. Stress and bad eating habits in my twenties and thirties led me to nutrition research for my own well-being. I became fascinated with the link between nutrition and wellness. I felt better once I improved the quality of my diet and began exercising. That’s when I made the decision help others overcome similar struggles through good nutrition and healthy lifestyle choices.
