A Word From Our  Founder

Meet Cathy Schmelter, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN)

I started An Ounce of Nutrition because I wanted to educate others about the value of consuming more real, fresh sustainable foods. I’ve always been a label reader and was mystified by the number of artificial additives and preservatives in food that provide no nutritional benefit.  I was into what was in foods and how are they made (e.g. food processing) before it became cool and trendy to do so. 

I, like other nutrition professionals, talk about nutrition and its impact on their health, but I was also curious – very curious about how these foods impact the environment, workers and the animals of the world. Later I learned things like how avocado farming is causing us to lose forests in Mexico and how palm oil is destroying rainforests. All of which I have shared with clients many times over the years.

But the thing that interests me most around sustainability is how the food choices we make are impacting the animals of the world.  It truly breaks my heart to hear about animals suffering to provide food for us, simply because they can’t talk and don’t have a voice.

My Approach

I have always been somewhat of a fruit and vegetable nerd – I can talk about them all day!  The science person in me is ultra-curious about phytonutrients, anti-oxidants and how to prepare these foods to get their fullest potential. I will work with you to develop a custom-tailored plan specific to you and that suits your needs.

My Belief In Plants

I truly believe that following a whole, plant-based is the healthiest, most sustainable way of leading a healthy lifestyle.  Many of the chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes can be prevented and sometimes cured by eating plants. This is why I have now launched a new nutrition coaching website to help adults transition to or support their plant-based eating journey.  I can’t imagine a more rewarding life journey!

I’ve been sharing what I learned in these sessions with my entire family and they are now making changes too! We are reading labels together at the grocery store and trying new plant-based recipes. The movement is spreading within my family and it’s so much fun!
