We’re excited to have Courtney Woodside, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, MPH, RD, LDN join Michelle Kennedy, NP-C today! We’re talking all about low carb alternatives.
Courtney is a registered dietitian nutritionist who works primarily in our Raleigh office. She is originally from Pinehurst, NC, and completed her undergraduate degree in Exercise Science from Appalachian State University in 2011. She became certified as a Health Fitness Specialist through the American College of Sports Medicine before pursuing her graduate degree. She has since received her Masters in Public Health Nutrition from UNC Chapel Hill at the end of 2013 and is now credentialed as a registered dietitian.
Courtney and Michelle walk through some simple low carb/keto-friendly alternatives they regularly recommend to patients in our offices. They provide convenient, easy to grab, to-go meals and snacks for those following a low carb lifestyle and the best places to find them. You’ll see that there are so many healthy low carb alternatives to bread, crackers and other refined carbohydrates.
