New Service! Diabetes Management

Published 9 months ago • 1 min read

Reader,

I'm excited to announce that Palmetto Nutrition Therapy will now be offering some new services!

Cami is a Certified Diabetes Educator/Diabetes Care and Education Specialist. She has been a dietitian for over 25 years and has a passion for helping people understand the importance of blood sugar control and using tools and resources to help them meet their health care goals. Most people leave a doctor’s office with a diabetes diagnosis and not much more than advice to control blood sugars and watch carbohydrates. Cami’s role as a diabetes educator provides a vital bridge between a diagnosis of diabetes and the knowledge and support needed to manage it. She is experienced with diabetes, prediabetes, and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). In addition, she enjoys working with people who have kidney disease, which in many cases is a complication of diabetes.

Cami also has years of experience working with children and their parents. She says this about her philosophy:“Food has been an integral part of my life. Growing up, we always ate dinner together as a family, but I was a very picky eater. My Mom cooked and baked daily, canned vegetables in the summer, and let me spend countless hours with her in the kitchen. I was involved in 4-H Food and Nutrition projects and that was where I was introduced to the science behind food. Food provides for a variety of needs in our lives.....fuel, fellowship, comfort, hunger, boredom. Understanding that food does not just satisfy our “fuel” needs has been a huge part of my practice as a dietitian. If I understand how and why people eat, then I can help them meet their goals. We work daily to maintain healthy relationships with our friends, family, and coworkers. I feel it is time that we work to build a healthy relationship with food and learn how it can work for us instead of against us. I am happy to help you start your journey to building a healthy relationship with food.

Cami’s services are currently available virtually and on a private pay basis. If you have questions about Cami's services, simply reply to this email. You can follow the link below if you're ready to schedule an appointment with her.

With gratitude,

Heather Smith, RDN, CSR, LD, CLT
