Students will understand the dietary requirements as set forth by MyPlate.gov and the USDA (recommended daily allowances) and develop strategies to consume those requirements on a regular basis using a whole-foods, balanced diet. 

I have a BS degree in Nutrition and Food Science (pre-med track) from Florida State University. I also worked as a Product Information Specialist at Rexall Sundown (Sundown Vitamins) at one point. I later became a certified middle school science teacher and taught middle school science in the Florida public school system for 5 years. I have always been fascinated with achieving a whole-foods, balanced diet in my own life and for my children, which I believe has helped me to remain healthy well into my 40s (I'm about to turn 50 and still maintain almost perfect health!). I have been an online teacher for Outschool and/or other platforms since 2018. I was a homeschool mama until 2023 when my son graduated to go on to become a successful entrepreneur. My other son attends a local high school and is still at home :)
