Hello Friends.
My name is Laverne Hedgepeth. I’m based in Atlanta, Georgia, and I’m the founder of Holisticnutritioness.com.
Am I a nutritionist or dietitian? I’m neither.
I’m a health writer exploring nutrition, behavior and the ideas that influence how we think about well-being.
A significant health challenge years ago forced me to examine my diet closely and understand its impact on my health. Since that time, I’ve made understanding diet and nutrition a priority in my life. That experience inspires my work to promote healthy nutritional lifestyles.
I wanted to educate myself on the topic, so I later enrolled at the Clayton College of Natural Health, pursuing a Master’s Degree in Holistic Nutrition before the school closed. During that time, I completed coursework that strengthened my understanding of foundational nutrition principles and how dietary choices affect our body, mind and overall health.
On the blog, I examine the forces that influence our choices and well-being, with the goal of helping people make informed decisions that lead to lasting change.
I bring a deep-seated interest in food — how it helps us and how it harms us. I’m seduced by the power of nutrition. It’s a fascinating area of science. Today, I continue in my role as a student of nutrition and writer and researcher on the topic of holistic nutrition. Because there are issues and topics I’d like to explore with you, Holisticnutritioness.com was born.
