All About The Author

Hi Everyone!

My name is Teresa Tuchek and I am the author and owner of this website. I would like to begin by telling you a little bit about myself. I am a wife, mother and a Certified, Registered Dietitian. I live in southern Indiana with my husband and my three children. I have teenage fraternal twin boys and a daughter in intermediate school. I am a professional Registered Dietitian currently working with the pediatric population. I do consulting and provide nutrition services through a wonderful program working with children and their families. I have received my Bachelors of Science degree in Dietetics and my Masters degree in Nutrition. I have also completed a six month internship as a route to becoming registered. I have been in practice for over 20 years.

I wanted to make this website to help out moms, dads, grandparents and other caregivers. I frequently encounter similar situations and have been asked some of the same questions multiple of times throughout my professional career. I have also experienced many of the same issues as a mother and can relate. My goal is to use my knowledge and experiences both professionally and as a parent to help out those in need of some advice and to provide tips for a healthier and happier lifestyle for their family.

Believe it or not, I have always stated that it was meant for me to be a dietitian. One of my boys was diagnosed as having a rare metabolic disorder requiring a protein restricted diet since the age of 4 months. It has been rough for me, especially early on, even with my background knowledge, so I cannot imagine what it would be like without having that background. If I can help just one family out, then I would be happy and this website would be worth all of the time and effort it has taken.
