Mission

Nancy's mission is to "demystify nutritional science and transform it into practical, realistic and useful tools that help individuals make lifestyle changes that result in losing weight and improving their health."

Whether Nancy is writing or speaking, she has the ability to take complex, complicated nutrition concepts and translate them into simple, clear and concise messages that educate, enlighten and motivate audiences. This talent has made Nancy a frequent spokesperson on nutrition issues for the local media programs, such as "The View of the Bay" the on KGO T.V. and the nationally televised program, dlifeTV on CNBC.

Nancy blends humor, science and reality when consulting with individuals or when delivering nutrition programs. She, a self-professed "chin-in-the-plate" person herself, can relate to the struggles we all face when trying to eat healthy in this fast paced society. This unique style has made Nancy a very popular speaker not only for community groups within the San Francisco Bay Area; but also for groups of health professionals across the country.

Whether she is enlightening audiences through television programs or educating physicians and health professionals at medical conferences, Nancy weaves her experience as a human being into nutritional recommendations.
