We've got a new network member! I'm posting Christine's information here as she sent it to me. What she DIDN'T mention, is that she is a NASCAR fan, and that she's actually written about how to eat healthfully at a NASCAR event. I love that down to earth approach, that life, no matter how you define it, can incorporate healthy choices. I'm looking forward to Christine's insights!
Christine E. Marquette has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Dietetics with a major in Nutrition from the University of Texas. She is licensed by the State of Texas (LD) and is also a registered dietitian (RD — national certification) through the Commission on Dietetic Registration. In addition, she has an advanced certification in Food Sensitivities as a Certified LEAP Therapist (CLT) and has been trained in using intrinsic coaching® methodology. She has also completed more than 20 hours of course work in the diagnosis and management of Polycystic Ovary Syndrom (PCOS), and more than 10 hours in the diagnosis and management of Celiac.
Christine is an avid runner, having completed 6 marathons and dozens of 5Ks, 10Ks, half marathons, and other distance races; and has been an assistant coach with Austin Fit marathon training program for more than two years. She is also a sprint distance triathlete.
Her first few years working as a “new dietitian,” Christine consulted in nursing homes and assisted living facilities, as well as provided medical nutrition therapy for a variety of conditions to low income patients in an outpatient clinic setting. Christine also spent a few years working at the Capital Area Food Bank, where she developed and helped launch their nutrition education program. Christine has since spent the majority of her career in nutrition providing medical nutrition therapy to clients one on one and in group classes for both the City of Austin’s community health care centers and the Austin Regional Clinic and has recently opened up her own private practice in South Austin.
