 About Sandra
Welcome to Real Living Nutrition!
The path I took to reach my current spot in the healthcare field was certainly not traditional, but I consider all of my life experiences to be valuable as I work with so many different kinds of people from day to day. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Washington University in St. Louis in 1989 and a Masters in Public Health from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill in 1995. That same year, after graduate school I became a registered dietitian licensed with the Commission on Dietetic Registration and a certified personal trainer with the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA). My work has taken me from recruiting college students to study abroad (after finishing college) to working as an outpatient dietitian in a health department and then a hospital and now to the private nutrition practice I currently own. I have lived in many cities around the country from New York to Irvine, CA, but Louisville is truly home now.
My interest in health and nutrition started long before I was contemplating a career. For as long as I can remember, the idea of staying healthy was given great merit in my family. My grandparents were fabulous role models—getting up in the morning and doing their exercises (walking, sit-ups, and stretching); only eating small portions (they didn’t even own large plates); and sharing a piece of fruit every evening for a snack. They lived this way until reaching 100 years old. With two children of my own, I try to instill the same healthy lifestyle habits and positive attitude that I witnessed growing up.
My philosophy is to keep nutrition simple and practical to help people lead a healthy life. I am a firm believer that what you eat is directly linked to how you feel, look and perform at work or during leisure activities, like sports. Eating right involves choosing healthy foods, not relying on supplements to be a quick fix. I encourage my clients to focus on realistic goals that they can build upon, ultimately leading them to better health.
