Nutrition and fitness expert, Shannan Bergtholdt, MS Ed, RDN is on a mission to help people be as fit as possible for as long as possible. She is motivated to share actionable information that empowers people to take charge of their health.
Shannan has a Bachelor’s Degree in Dietetics from James Madison University and a Master’s Degree in Exercise Science and Wellness from Old Dominion University. As a registered dietitian with over 20 years experience, Shannan believes that food, fitness, stress and sleep are the four pillars of health. She strives to find ways to enable her clients to make meaningful changes to their habits that fit their lifestyle.
Shannan’s first dietitian career in the Army clearly elucidated the strong link between fitness and nutrition. She carried that belief in pairing these two pillars of health to her roles as a Fitness Director and Director of a Health & Wellness Center. She put that belief into practice while working as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor.
More recently, Shannan built an online private practice, curating personalized wellness plans to optimize her clients’ health. Now as a health writer, she strives to bring the best research to timely health topics in an approachable manner.
When she’s not writing, you can find Shannan spending time outdoors, walking her dog or cheering on the sidelines of her children’s sports events.
