My name is Debbie and I LOVE to teach!

Since my last year in undergraduate studies, I've been torn between the love of food and nutrition science and teaching in general.

When I first started homeschooling my son, who is 17 (in May 2022), I slowly, but surely, figured out how to do both! That's why I started this school.

E-courses and E-books focus on the fundamentals of:

  • Food Science
  • Nutrition Science
  • Weight Loss
  • Meal Planning
  • Vitamins and Minerals
  • Pregnancy Nutrition

This school is expanding to include all of these subjects and more.

I have been a Registered Dietitian for 22 years and an American Council of Exercise (ACE) Certified Health Coach since 2018.
