I've been in your shoes.

Guess what? I was probably a lot like you. Always making my health a top priority by reading up on all the latest nutrition news and trends. I loved learning about nutrition so much that it led me to become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. But somewhere along the way, my interest in “health” and nutrition turned into an obsession.

Food and exercise went from being a part of my life to being my life. Ideas about meal prepping and workout routines consumed my thoughts. This lifestyle I built for myself was meant to make me healthy, but it ultimately left me with very little energy to live my life outside of the kitchen.

Things had to change. I re-evaluated my values, made peace with food and my body, and learned to be flexible in my approach with plant-based nutrition. Today, I show up as a non-diet dietitian so passionate about coaching amazing humans – like you – to have freedom with food and movement while still honoring their health in a way that aligns with their values.

Just a few things that help me help you

My Journey To Flexible Plant-Based Eating

Why "Chef Shannon Nutrition"?

Chef Shannon Nutrition was born due to my creative passion for culinary nutrition. Throughout my personal health journey, years of nutrition education, and experience in the corporate wellness space, I noticed a huge gap between knowledge and taking action. 

It’s one thing to know about plant-based foods or how to look up plant-forward recipes, but it’s a whole other thing to be able to put those tools into place with your daily habits.

Building cooking confidence, experimenting in the kitchen, and simplifying the meal prep routine is truly what makes a plant-forward eating pattern sustainable (and less stressful). My goal is to help you have fun in the kitchen as you transition to a plant-based diet (without actually dieting) and gain the courage to create meals that make you feel good.
