Nominator's thoughts on what would make this nominee a valuable member of a future Trump Unity Government
1) I have been a Registered Dietitian for almost 23 years and have pursued multiple specialty certifications and trainings throughout my career. In addition, I have owned and operated a successful private practice since 2013.
2) If a client needs professional assistance with their health outside of my means or my scope of practice, I let them know that and refer them elsewhere. If a client comes to me asking for specific supplements and/or functional testing that I may financially benefit from, but I do not think that they need or may not benefit from, I share that information with the client so that they can make an informed decision about their own health.
3) If a client chooses to go a different route with their healthcare than what I have recommended, I respect their decision and wish them the best in their future health and wellness endeavors.
4) & 5) In standing up to the Michigan Dietetic Association and refusing to protest the licensing of Naturopaths, I showed integrity, courage, and devotion to what I believe in and what is right.
6) I have had many terrific nutrition and health outcomes for the people I treat in my private practice, utilizing functional medicine principles and healing through food and nutrition.
