Meet Your Instructor:
Your instructor, Julie Eversaul, is a registered dietitian and adjunct instructor of human nutrition.
My skills are anchored in nutrition education and weight management for the pre-teen through older adult populations.
Anyone who knows me would likely agree my mission as a dietitian is to passionately share my nutrition knowledge with people of all ages to empower their sense of health, well-being, and confidence in decision making. Together we will explore facts, fiction, the symphony of activity between food and biochemistry and physiology, and how we will nurture our best performances in life through food choices.
When I am not feeding my soul with food, I embrace travel, nature, friends, and family. Life is definitely richer in what we do, where, and with whom.
