What Is The Food Connection?

The Food Connection was established in June of 2013. Yes, it's our 1 year anniversary!  We give real guidance on anything that is related to food and the body.  We love food (and, you must, too if you are reading this.) All dietitians at The Food Connection are Registered and Licensed Dietitians.

What is a Registered Dietitian (RD)?  Great question...most importantly, an RD is THE food and nutrition expert. RDs have have met specific academic and professional requirements that include a bachelor's degree with courses that are approved by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics  (under the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.) After that, we have to be accepted into an extremely competitive dietetic internship. When that's done, we get to take a national exam(just like the boards for MD's). With a successful score...presto! We are Registered Dietitians. Not all states are licensed but we are here in Nevada.  So we are the real deal, science/evidence-based, licensed nutritionists.  We give the correct information to feed your cells and not drain your pocketbook.

Mickey and Molly are the owners of The Food Connection.  After a few martinis in the great town of Philadelphia,  they came up with the idea of connecting real-life enjoyment of food and dining, without forgetting about health.  The Mickey n Molly Dining  Club was the first adventure.   Both Mickey and Molly  love road-testing local restaurants, working closely with the chefs to design custom dining menus for 700 calories and under (which include an alcoholic beverage.)  

The next step for Mickey and Molly was nutrition consults.  What is a nutrition consult? Glad that you asked! After meeting with you, assessing your health status, listening to and learning about you, we work with you to put together a customized eating plan according to your current medical status, goals and lifestyle.  As THE food and nutrition experts, we RDs understand all medical issues related to food, and try to achieve homeostasis(balance) through food.  We REALLY like food!  

Next, Mickey and Molly developed a weight loss program with their colleague, Christina (a dietitian and exercise physiologist), called The Just 2 program.  It's a simple plan to follow along with on-line support, classes on the phone, (or if you live in Vegas) face-to-face meetings, and periodic one-on-one consults.  The Food Connection also offers nutrition class series, Lunch and Learns and lectures on various food topics.

We are very happy that you found us. We are here to help guide people with any nutritional needs.  Our number one goal is for you to Love Yourself!
