about me

I was confused by the lack of nutrition information for those with SCI and this inspired me to create Paralysis Nutrition.

I also know the frustration that people living with SCI experience when it comes to their health and wellness, being a marginalized group.

In my own field of nutrition, I found conflicting and confusing information when it came to helping manage my husband's health.

I found that there were a lot of unqualified "coaches" and self-proclaimed health gurus on social media making outrageous claims about weight loss, "superfoods" and pricey dietary supplements, with false promises of good health to those with paralysis.

On the other hand, there were very few, if any, updated and legitimate resources for proper nutrition for chronic SCI.

Living alongside someone with SCI, I know the unique and sometimes overwhelming challenges that come with the territory.
