EP 200 Hows your dash going, radial ownership, neignborhood cats and endometriosis
Steph is the founder of Empowered Roots Nutrition and a Nutrition and Dietetic Technician, Registered (NDTR), with a bachelor's degree in Nutrition and Dietetics. She is set to complete her master's degree this spring, making her eligible to sit for the Registered Dietitian credentialing exam.
With more than 10 years of experience in the field of nutrition, Steph has spent most of her career in adult and pediatric acute care settings. She has worked with a wide range of conditions, from infant nutrition to chronic kidney disease, heart disease, diabetes, and more. Steph is passionate about making authentic connections, no matter the setting.
Her approach to nutrition is functional and integrative, focusing on addressing the root cause of health concerns while bridging the gap between conventional and unconventional medicine. Steph's primary interests lie in women's health and gut health, though she also appreciates the variety of cases she encounters, thanks to her extensive experience in the field.
Recently, she left her corporate job of nine years to pursue private practice. She currently works as an NDTR and nutrition assistant, supporting administrative tasks and developing nutrition programs. Additionally, she is starting her own private practice to focus on delivering high-quality care with a "quality over quantity" approach.
Outside of her work, Steph enjoys astrology, exploring the outdoors, creating art, cooking, traveling, and discovering new cuisines as a self-proclaimed "foodie." She is also dedicated to her own holistic practices and lifelong learning. She believes in living a balanced life and embodies the same principles she shares with her clients.
Although her business is still in development, you can expect to work with her as early as this summer. Stay tuned for updates by following her on Instagram at @empoweredrootsnutrition.
