About

Katherine Isacks, MPS, RD

 

My Approach  

My focus is wellness and disease risk reduction via healthful food choices, physical activity, and weight control.  I provide information and consulting on how to change key behaviors to maximize health and reduce risk of common chronic diseases related to nutrition and lifestyle (such as heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, and certain types of cancer).  I am passionate about nutrition education since I feel that it empowers individuals to take control of their health and thrive.  I use an interactive approach to educate groups and individuals about nutrition and weight control.
