Treasurer
Crystal Fox, MS, RD, LDN
Hi, I'm Crystal Fox, CEO and founder of Healing Nutrition Therapy of Louisiana, as well as a Registered Dietitian (RD) and Nutrition Therapist in practice since 2007. I graduated with my Master's in Nutrition and Dietetics from Louisiana Tech University. As an RD, I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with eating disorders, disordered eating, chronic illnesses such as diabetes or anyone wishing to improve their overall relationship with food and their body. I practice from a non-diet approach as well as the Health At Every Size (HAES) and intuitive eating perspective. Being a recovered clinician myself, combined with my knowledge and experience of working with eating disorders, helps me treat my clients with compassion and understanding and to meet them where they are in their own recovery process. I truly believe full recovery is possible for many and it is my goal and mission to bring hope to those who struggle with eating disorders.
