Description
With: Megan Berner, Registered Dietitian and owner at Nourish to Flourish
Have you found yourself busy learning all there is to know about caring for your kiddo, you forget to care for yourself? I know it was true for me in my journey becoming a young and new mom! Reading all the books and listening to all the podcasts I felt so prepared to take care of my tiny human. Little did I realize the level of care needed for myself too. Thankfully, I was able to stay on top of fueling my body because of my nutrition background as a registered dietitian! I'm excited to be able to help you nourish and flourish in your motherhood season! Whether you're looking to support fertility, pregnancy, or postpartum, my Nourish to Flourish philosophy can help you know better, do better, and therefore, be better! At this workshop I'll be sharing key nutrients, priority foods, and other tips and tricks that keep one thing in this busy time, simple. Come with an excited and open mind and leave with some weight lifted off your shoulders!
More about Megan:
"I first came to the La Crosse area for college where I wanted to go to school at UW-L for Exercise and Sport Science. During my time at UW-L I fell in love with my nutrition minor. After I graduated I continued my education and graduated from Viterbo University in 2021, passed my registration exam that summer and became a registered dietitian! The majority of my clients are women and hot topics include weight management and hormonal support. Other topics clients come to me with include health promotion, gut support, and emotional eating. After practicing as a dietitian for just over 2 years I received the honor of being titled “The Best Nutritionist” in La Crosse County in 2023, and was recognized for this again in 2024! My philosophy is that you gotta nourish to flourish. My education gave me the dots, my experiences connected them, and I'm excited to show you the pictures they've created! :) On a personal level, my family and I enjoy playing outside in our backyard, going to the park, and walking around the neighborhood. My husband, Kraig, is an avid hunter and enjoys experimenting in the kitchen with the game he collects. Our son Beau and German Shepherd Taz definitely don't mind sampling what he cooks up! "
