Karen Hawkins

As a registered dietitian and nutrition communicator I enjoy working with busy people to design eating that fits their lifestyle. My passion is to work with others to prevent and reduce their risk of diabetes, hypertension, or heart disease. Plant-based eating helps us feel better while contributing to a healthier life.

I also work with active women over 50 who are trying to manage their weight while going through menopause. I train for both half and full marathons with a running club in Virginia. I also support local farmers through shopping at the Farmer’s Market. I teach classes in the Food as Medicine program at the local Food Coop. Life is busy, l help others figure out how to plan, cook, and enjoy food while sharing it with others.

I have worked as an Army Reserve Dietitian and Diabetes Educator with many people to help them manage Diabetes and lose weight. I also provide online recipes and tools for people to use in their everyday lives.
