From My Mama's Kitchen Recommends... Lisa Nelson RD - Reducing Heart Disease Naturally

Continuing with the theme From My Mama’s Kitchen Recommends… where I am showcasing individuals who are doing extra ordinary things that touched the heart and moved the soul! My guest will be Lisa Nelson. She is a Registered Dietitian and a heart health nutritional expert who was a 1999 Cum Laude Graduate from Kansas State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition and Exercise Science. According to Lisa, unfortunately, she has been blessed with crummy genetics. She has a strong family history of heart disease and her own cholesterol level has hovered around 200 since her early twenties. She had a grandmother that died from a heart attack at age 69, a grandfather that died of a heart attack a year before she was born, another grandfather that had diabetes and was legally blind for as long as she can remember and recently didn't recover from a quadruple by-pass surgery, and her remaining grandmother lives with diabetes. Since graduation Lisa has enjoyed working in community nutrition. She worked directly with men and women struggling with weight, elevated blood pressure, and high cholesterol levels. She saw firsthand how important her support was for those under her care to stay on the right track. According to Lisa, “It's one thing to know what you need to do, but it a whole different ballgame when you have to make the changes.” She started a private practice - eNutritionServices in June of 2007. Since then, she has reached a much larger audience and is helping many more people achieve a healthy lifestyle and a new outlook on life! Please call 347.327.9995 to join Lisa and I live on the air Tuesday 10/20/09 from 10-11 am US CDT as we discuss her life’s journey and her passion in educating and helping individuals to live a heart healthy lifestyle.
