Hello and welcome! I am Trudy Scott and I’d like to tell you about the women who inspire me and then I’ll introduce myself.
The women who inspire me…
· My mom was my first inspiration and she continues to inspire me – we ate real food growing up, hardly ever visited the doctor and she taught us not to rely on drugs. She was a brilliant entrepeneur and has always been and still is, an amazingly caring and generous mom.
· Adelle Davis was a nutrition pioneer in the 1950s and I discovered her wonderful books in the 1980s. So much of what she wrote about then, still makes so much sense today.
· Ruth Adele, ND, my doctor in the 1990s, encouraged me to pursue my passion for natural health and become a nutritionist. I was over 29 and was working with her because I was starting to experience hormonal changes, sleep problems and my work stress (in corporate America) was huge!
· Ellyn Hilliard, PhD, has such a passion for holistic health, nutrition and cancer. She was so generous with her time and I learned so much from her during my nutritionist internship.
· Julie Matthews, NC, and her work in the autism community is incredible. Working as her research assistant on her wonderful book Nourishing Hope (Nutrition Intervention for Autism) was a true honor.
· I am also so inspired by the work of Julia Ross, nutritional psychologist. She is a pioneer in the use of amino acids for mental health, eating disorders and addiction recovery. I was so fortunate to have worked with her for 2 years at the Recovery Systems clinic.
· I am inspired by all the nutritionists and holistic health practitioners who are working to teach people that they can have optimal health and feel great.
· Finally, I am inspired by all my clients - all that I learn from working with them, their courage, their perseverance and their commitment to their health and the health of their families.
About me...My emphasis is on educating successful women about a healthy and balanced lifestyle, dietary choices based on a whole-foods approach and individualized nutrient supplementation as needed - so “you can be your healthiest, look your best and feel on-top-of-the-world emotionally”.
My focus is: how and why to eat whole real foods, women’s health issues and natural solutions for anxiety.
I recently spent two years working with nutritional psychologist Julia Ross, MA, (author of The Mood Cure) at Recovery Systems in Mill Valley, California. The clinic specializes in mood disorders (anxiety, depression, bipolar, obsessive-compulsive disorder, insomnia, pyroluria), eating disorders (obesity, compulsive eating, anorexia, bulimia) and addiction recovery (carbohydrates, drugs, alcohol, behaviors). I was part of a holistic team, comprising psychotherapists, nutritionists, and a physician.
I am a passionate researcher and writer, with articles published in various newspapers and magazines. I assisted Julie Matthews, NC, with research for her book Nourishing Hope (Nutrition Intervention for Autism).
I am Vice President of the board of directors of the National Association of Nutrition Professionals (www.nanp.org) and am actively involved in many aspects of the organization. I am also a member of the Alliance for Addiction Solutions (www.allianceforaddictionsolutions.org), a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting effective nutritional and other natural methods for the treatment of all addictive disorders. I am a member of The Anxiety Disorders Association of America (www.adaa.org), a national non-profit organization dedicated to increasing awareness and improving the diagnosis, treatment and cure of anxiety disorders through education and research. I support the Weston A. Price Foundation (www.westonaprice.org), a non-profit organization dedicated to restoring nutrient-dense foods to the human diet through education, research and activism. I am also an active member of Toastmasters International.
I completed my CN (Certified Nutritionist) program through American Health Sciences University and keep up to date with the latest nutritional information by attending numerous conferences each year. I also hold a Bachelor of Social Science in Psychology and a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems.
I’m married to an amazing man, Brad, who I met rock-climbing. We no longer climb but still love the outdoors and in the summer you’ll find us windsurfing, hiking or mountain biking in the foothills and mountains of Northern California. In the winter you’ll find Brad snowboarding and me telemark skiing and learning to snowboard.
PS. In case you’re wondering, the photo is of my younger sister, niece and mom
Health and happiness,
Trudy Scott
