About

Emily Weeks, RDN, LD

Growing up in McKinney, Texas with my parents, younger sister, and brother, I was fortunate to be surrounded by a family that prioritized sitting down together for dinner and exploring a wide range of culinary delights. From an early age, I was fascinated by the process of cooking, often helping my parents and grandparents in the kitchen and experimenting with new recipes. These experiences instilled in me a deep passion for good nutrition and healthy eating that only grew stronger as I got older.

During my high school years, I worked part-time at a supplement store where I was able to educate customers about the many benefits of vitamins and supplements. However, it was my desire to help people improve their lives with healthy eating that eventually led me to pursue a career as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist.

Now, as a seasoned nutrition professional, I am dedicated to empowering individuals to take charge of their health and wellbeing by learning to cook and eat healthfully. My upbringing and professional experience have given me a unique perspective on the power of good nutrition, and I am passionate about sharing my knowledge with others. Whether you’re looking to cook more at home, eat more mindfully, or simply improve your overall health and wellness, I am here to help you achieve your goals.
