Our society is OBSESSED with dieting and claims that weight loss is necessary for health, and I’m here to convince you otherwise. I love to communicate about nutrition from a common sense standpoint in an industry that is full of idealism, contradiction, and confusion.

“Recently, I attended a breakout session led by Brooke Fredrickson called Eat With Grace. Brooke brought a fresh and Christ-centered focus on how we view dieting, our bodies, and the food we consume in today’s society.

And I believe Brooke is on the front line of catching the attention of women of all sizes and ages in standing strong on that belief and not on the message the world is conveying to us.” -Bryana (Colorado)
