Hi, I'm Amanda!
I am the face and voice behind Foodborne Wellness. I am so happy you found your way here. Would it be weird if I said I've been waiting for you? Navigating the health and wellness space can be overwhelming but it is certainly more fun together, so, welcome!
This little corner of the internet is dedicated to helping you fall in love with cooking again, even with dietary restrictions. I focus on gluten-free recipes that utilize real food ingredients, help you feel amazing, and that taste absolutely delicious.
A Little About Me
I am a dietitian, recipe developer, and food photographer. I am also the mother to the most fiery little girl this world has ever seen. To my dismay as a parent, she is loud, stubborn, and not the least bit afraid to speak her mind. She is also everything I wish I could have been at that age, and I am endlessly proud to be her mom. My morning mirror pep-talk involves trying to channel her confidence.
If I am not cooking, or cleaning my kitchen, I am spending time in nature. I love physical activity (it is the only thing that can calm my chaotic mind in any meaningful way), and if I can do it outside that is the making of a perfect day. I love to run, hike, rock climb, and mountain bike (that last one is mostly just to impress my husband - haven't been wildly successful yet).
I love all topics health, nutrition, and exercise related. If you're at a party and you want to talk about gut health or your gym split, I am your gal. If you want to make a huge mess in the kitchen trying to healthify your favorite comfort food, I am the friend you call. I am here for it all.
In 2019, my husband was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, and then two years later I was diagnosed with Hashimotto's. We have a gluten-free household (along with various other dietary limitations) and with two autoimmune conditions between us, we have become very fluent in modifying recipes for food intolerances. We are pretty dang good at it.
My Qualifications
I have a Master's of Science in Dietetics, Nutrition and Exercise Physiology, and am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) and Clinical Exercise Physiologist. I have been an RDN since 2017 and work hard to maintain my credentials. I try to stay on top of current nutrition literature to manage my own health, and to be a resource to others trying to do the same.
My Mission
My ultimate passion is food, and creating nourishing meals to optimize health. My mission is to transform your concept of health-promoting foods in to something that is attainable, affordable and above all delicious.
Thanks For Joining Me!
I hope you find that your time here is well spent!
