About Herd Health & Nutrition
|
Hey there! I'm Alex Herd, a Georgia native with some roots back in Eastern Pennsylvania. I'm a wife and mom to a herd of tiny humans, two canines and eight chickens. Apart from my precious family, I live for freshly brewed coffee, bouldering and wearing my overalls (much to my husband's chagrin). I am also the founder and proud owner of Herd Health and Nutrition, LLC.
As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), I believe in foods that bring proper nutrition to your body as well as foods that bring joy to your soul. Healthy eating is more than just a series of 30 day quick fixes throughout the year. It is a balance of not only nutritious foods but a healthy mind as well. If you're ready to begin a sustainable, lifestyle change that is good for the whole family, then come with me! Let's throw away the diet books, grab a bite of chocolate and take a walk with me - eating & being joyful. |
Alex earned her Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Food Science from Georgia Southern University, where she also completed her dietetic internship. After successfully passing the national board exam, she became a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and went on to receive her Master of Science in Applied Nutrition from The Sage Colleges. In addition, she is a Certified Lactation Counselor (CLC).
Her experience spans a wide range of clients, including those managing cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol; pre-diabetes and diabetes; gestational and postpartum nutrition; food allergies; and pediatric nutrition. She also works with individuals who are ready to move away from diet culture and build a healthier relationship with food.
