Hi, I’m Cara. I recently made my way back to Kansas with my family after living a somewhat nomadic life over the last decade. In the last 10 years I’ve lived in Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Arizona, and most recently, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. I became interested in food and nutrition after spending a summer in high school watching too much Food Network and teaching myself to cook. I studied dietetics at Missouri State University, where I played soccer (Go Bears!). While I love to try new foods and recipes, I believe in keeping food simple. I’ve worked in a variety of settings as a dietitian, but one thing has always remained the same – my desire to help as many individuals as possible reach their goals.
Hi, I’m Erica. I have a confession: I am a Real Housewives fanatic. I’m also a huge fan of creating new recipes and using nutrition to help fuel bodies well. I grew up in a small town and played almost every sport I could. During that time, I began to research how nutrition could help improve my athletic performance. During this time, I began struggling with several GI symptoms, which continued for over 10 years, with no help from the conventional side of healthcare. In college I began to learn about functional medicine and personalized nutrition. I was able to get to the root of my GI issues, finding ways to heal my gut with nutrition and functional medicine. Now, with my education and experience, I am able to help others who are struggling with the same issues find solutions when other medical paths don’t pan out.
Hi, I’m Shannon. I live north of Kansas City with my husband, three children, and our Black Lab. My love of food started in childhood as I helped my grandparents and mother in their garden. I learned pretty quickly that I had a love and curiosity for food and cooking, so when I realized I could make a career out of teaching people about food, there was no turning back! I’m a Certified Specialist in Pediatric nutrition and feel it is important to foster a healthy relationship with all foods starting at a young age. I want to help families alleviate the stress that often presents at mealtimes, especially with busy lifestyles and growing kids. I have worked in hospitals, food service, and outpatient clinics, and throughout this experience, I have found that one of the best parts of nutrition counseling is establishing relationships with clients and families to create individualized goals.
