Erin Coleman, RD, CD

I’m Erin, a Registered, Certified Dietitian on a mission to teach people the truth about food. I’m a Clinical Dietitian by day and nutrition coach at night. I love educating others on the power of food and creating delicious dishes that I can share with my followers!

I worked as a health coach at one of the top medical websites known to mankind, and although I have experience in just about every field of dietetics (from child nutrition to long-term care), my passion remains in wellness.

As much as I love nutrition, I'm the first to admit that I am far from perfect. I have battled and overcome my own personal food demons, and because of this I can truly relate to my clients. I know what it’s like to be overweight, have an eating disorder, and think about food every second of every day. I was a very overweight child who was bullied by classmates throughout school. My classmates referred to me as "Twinkie" and "Shamoooo," to name a few, which led me into a deep state of depression. My frustrations continued when crash diets didn't provide me with the results I desired, so rather than implementing a healthy diet, I turned to exercise.

It wasn't until I attended college that I began feeling comfortable in my own skin; but despite my daily runs, the partying lifestyle left me 30lbs. overweight. After I graduated from Indiana University with a degree in Dietetics, I began working as a health coach, which taught me how to interact with clients and I quickly learned that exercise is only part of the equation in our overall health. I then went on to complete a Dietetic Internship Program from Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis in 2012 and officially began my career as a Registered Dietitian.

Becoming a Dietitian helped me realize the importance of proper nutrition in our overall well-being. "You are what you eat" is indeed a true statement, but I feel that motivation is absolutely necessary in order to make a change. I'm far from perfect, but I’m passionate about helping others reach their goals. If I can do it, so can you! Feel free to contact me; I want to hear YOUR success story!
