Take Control of Your Health and Well-being
Hi, I’m Linda. As a registered and licensed dietitian, I have dedicated my career to improving lives through nutrition and wellness.
With a bachelor’s and master’s degree in food management and nutrition from the University of Tennessee and a Doctoral Degree in adult education from the University of Southern Mississippi, I find much joy in sharing with others fascinating information about the food we eat and its impact on our health. But of even more importance is the impact of God’s Word on our spiritual health. In my blogs Food from the Garden and Food for the Spirit I share ways I’ve discovered to nurture our bodies through nutrition and our souls through spiritual connection with God in His Word. Focusing on both our physical and spiritual needs enables us to have a solid foundation to build well-rounded and fulfilling lives.
I trust you will find the information encouraging and even life changing as I have.
My enthusiasm for food and nutrition stems from the belief that we best honor God through intentional choices in our eating and by addressing excessive or unhealthy eating habits that affect various health challenges our society faces today. I am excited to share my understanding of how to nurture our physical well-being while deepening our spiritual connection with God, promoting a well-rounded approach to health and life.
I welcome your questions, comments, and suggestions! Click here.
