ABOUT ME

Amber Hannon, MS, RD

Hi! I'm Amber, a food fanatic residing on the East coast of Virginia.  As a Registered Dietitian for over a decade, motivating others to live healthier lives is more than a career choice for me.  Nutrition has inspired my life in a number of ways.  I was obese, over 200 pounds, while in grade school.  As a result, I learned how food impacts your health at an early age.  Through lifestyle changes I was able to lose over 60 pounds and gain my life calling.  Shortly after graduating college with my degree in Dietetics, I suffered from debilitating anxiety.  My interest in food and nutrition only escalated, as I focused on ways to additionally manage my struggles with diet.  These personal experiences, along with my professional and academic background, arm me with the resources to support you through your obstacles as well.  

When not working, blogging, or counseling, I continue to stay busy!  I am married to my best friend, mama to the best boy, two kitties, and one dog.  I love my family and spending time with them.  We enjoy the beach, camping, entertaining (I LOVE hosting), cooking, and traveling.  My favorite food is watermelon and I have an obsession with mermaids. Those are just the essential things about me.  :)

Professional experience:

My professional expertise ranges full spectrum, from pediatric to adult nutrition.  My pediatric experience includes working with families on special diets, picky eaters, weight management, food aversions, and more.  In adults, I specialize in weight management, optimal nutrition for current lifecycle (pre/postnatal, geriatric, etc), meal planning, special diets, etc.
