Amy Carlson, MS, RD, LD

Amy Carlson, a native of Windom, Minnesota, received her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Minnesota. She left the cold to come to Houston where she did her internship at the VA Hospital and completed her Master of Science degree in Nutrition from Texas Woman's University. She has a passion for health and sharing her knowledge with others to help them meet their goals. She currently sees patients individually or in a group setting in private practice at her home office or in client's homes or offices.

Nutrition Philosophy
 Amy believes strongly in the power of nutrition in preventing disease and improving quality of life. No matter what your goals, whether you have been diagnosed with Diabetes, you have high cholesterol, you are interested in weight loss or maybe you are an expecting mother and have questions regarding nutrition. Maybe you have questions regarding general nutrition or how to eat to improve your performance? Amy provides customized information to help you achieve your nutrition goals. Amy also believes strongly that fitness and nutrition go hand-in-hand. Personally, exercise is a daily part of her life and she continues to encourage it in the lives of her clients.

Credentials
 Amy is a registered and licensed dietitian who received over 900 hours of training in an approved internship. Once completing the internship she passed the National exam and now receives continuing education yearly in order to remain registered. She is a member of the American Dietetic Association, the Texas Dietetic Association as well as the local Houston Area Dietetic Association.

History & Hobbies
 Amy grew up on a farm, the youngest of five children in a small town in Southwestern Minnesota. She has always enjoyed sports and spent most of her time competing or training in gymnastics and ballet. She also loves to travel and back packed Europe with her brother for a summer and when she returned went to work at a working Dude Ranch in Colorado for a year where she met her husband. Today she enjoys many sports including running, weights, roller-blading, volleyball, rock-climbing, and mountain biking. Last January she entered and finished her first marathon! Her other passion is family and enjoys spending time with her husband and both her Minnesota and Houston family!
