Cindy Sims, RD, AZ | Dietitian

About Cindy Sims

- My career as a Registered Dietitian began over 30 years ago when I needed to lose over 100#. I didn't want to use pills or supplements, so I chose a group led by a Registered Dietitian. She showed me the way to lose weight slowly and when those pounds were gone, encouraged me to return to college and get my degree in Dietetics. After my BS was done at the U of TN Chattanooga, there was no other choice but to complete a Dietetic Internship. My choice was to leave home to go to Vanderbilt. After completion, my work includes Cardiovascular, Chronic Kidney Disease, Endocrinology and I started a Private Practice specializing in Eating Disorders which I successfully maintained for the next 11 years. My next step was to become a Certified Diabetes Educator to work for a pharmaceutical company teaching diabetes patients how to use their insulin and manage their food and exercise. I worked here for 11 years. I also have 4 years of experience as a Virtual Dietitian and this brings me to Fay! Please know that I just love food and my job and while I'm here on this earth I can help you develop a different relationship with food and stop dieting. It's a positive change which filters into other areas of your life.I am here to share proven methods to help you on your journey and to make peace with your mind, body and food!
