About Andrea Zajac

Hi Andrea! I'm a mom of three who took some time off to raise her kids and am now back to doing what I love most...helping people eat REAL foods, get off medications, and thrive! Now, let me tell you how I got here.... I've always enjoyed sports and being healthy. But I heard a lot about being "thin" when I was growing up which led to disordered eating, compulsive exercise, thoughts of food all the time (because I was starving but was told I couldn't eat pizza, burgers, fries, etc), guilt & body shame when I couldn't say no and overall lack of EVIDENCE-BASED nutrition knowledge. It wasn't until I discovered that a Nutrition Degree was a real "thang", that I began to learn how to nourish my body, change my relationship towards food, eat a wide variety of foods, learn that there is no "bad" food (only bad quantities), and learn biochemistry (how the body processes macronutrients, micronutrients, vitamins, minerals and more) for homeostasis and disease prevention. Like, I could actually stop worrying about "what" I could eat all of the time and still enjoy social events, some calorie-rich, nutrient-poor foods from time to time, but learn how to eat MORE foods that helped me feel good without any guilt, shame, OR illness. After graduating with a degree in Human Nutrition & Foods from Virginia Polytechnic & State University, I received a scholarship from the Medical Speciality Corps Didactic Internship Program at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. I was commissioned as an Army Officer (yes, I was kind of like Pvt Benjamin without any ROTC experience!) and went off to Officer Basic at Fort Sam Houston, TX. I spent more than 1200 hours at Walter Reed completing my Dietetic Internship with rotations throughout the hospital & community.
