About Mallory
Mallory has always been a foodie. She had been considering going to medical school, but found that nutrition was the perfect way to combine a career in healthcare with her love for food. Mallory also knows what it’s like to be told to lose weight because of experiences she had as a child, so can relate to many people in that way as well.
Get to Know Mallory
Favorite thing to purchase at the Farmer’s Market or Grocery Store: Exotic fruit
Favorite cultural dish or comfort food: Pasta
Grocery shopping tip: Go into the store with a list!
Favorite nutrient-packed snack: Jicama with lime and sea salt
What’s one small thing someone can do today to work toward a balanced eating pattern/lifestyle?: Increase your intake of non-starchy vegetables! It could be adding a vegetable to your meal or upping the portion if you already have one. Either way, your body will thank you for the added fiber and vitamins.
Nutrition philosophy in a nutshell: Every food can fit into a balanced diet. With a little creativity, anything is possible!
How has your cultural culinary heritage shaped your approach to nutrition?: I come from a very “food-focused” family, meaning we always gathered around the table together. Some of the greatest moments of my life were celebrated around the table with the people I love the most. I believe that food is something to be celebrated, not restricted!
