Food

Hi!  My name is Lynn Dugan.  I am a Registered Dietitan with a Master’s Degree in Exercise Physiology.  My work has focused in cardiovascular research, sports nutrition and nutrition communications. My *best* experience related to this blog is the challenge of feeding my four active children.  That is a job!  One has food allergies, another is very picky, one needs extra calories due to sports and one just likes everything (except anything with ketchup or barbeque sauce).  I realize how difficult it is with active schedules and the demands of life to feed kids a healthy diet.  And since it is not easy for me as a nutrition professional, I am certain it is hard for us all.  I will use this platform to share recent success and lessons in feeding my kids and any helpful nutrition & fitness tips.

Fitness

We are an active family and enjoy a variety of sports.  I like to bike and run.  My husband likes to swim and bike.  My kids each participate in several sports including:  swimming, soccer, basketball, hockey, football, and baseball.  Fitness is important for everyone.  Finding something you like and making it routine (combined with a healthy diet) is the key to achieving optimal health.

Faith

Faith is the foundation of our lives.  I pray throughout the day to get the strength I need to feed this active family and to help them navigate this world.  The Bible is my guide for all areas of my life.
