She uses this process to critically think and make decisions when working with each patient.
Her goal is to provide you with safe and quality nutrition expert care. You can be reassured you will receive much more than trendy nutrition recommendations. Every patient at Food for Life will receive specific nutrition recommendations that will meet their individual needs.

We ask a lot of questions about our patients and their health history, which always includes stories about their lives. It's only fair that you know a little bit about Barbara. She grew up in a small town in southern Mississippi and has been in Florida since 1991. She has a undergraduate degree in dietetics, a master's degree in food systems (think places that serve food), plus three additional years of college education in nutrition. She is advanced certified in Autonomic Response Testing. In addition, she has added genetic nutrition into her tool box of knowledge and skills. Barbara is also a certified yoga instructor. For fun, you will find her on her bike in the woods, practicing yoga, and exercising with her husband, family, and friends. She loves crafty things, particularly turning a trashy piece furniture into a treasure. Cooking is on the list of her fun to dos. Her granddaughter is her greatest source of entertainment and keeps the entire family laughing.
