Betsy    Biography | Testimonials


Biography:
Betsy is a Registered Dietitian and Certified Personal Trainer who believes in healing from the inside out. Betsy specializes in providing healthy, gourmet meals that accommodate her clients' specific needs.

Brought up on the east coast, Betsy graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a BS in Nutrition and Clinical Dietetics. After practicing for a few years in a clinical setting, Betsy found that she wanted to have a greater impact on her patients than she could at a nursing home or a hospital.

"That is when I decided to shift my focus to wellness and prevention instead of sickness," Betsy said.

Betsy pursued personal training and became certified with the American Council of Exercise. Her next major shift was moving to the west coast, bringing her to Santa Barbara. In Santa Barbara, she started working as the main clinician and researcher for nationally known Endocrinologist and Author, Diana Schwarzbein M.D. From her experience at the Schwarzbein Institute, she was inspired to develop her own comprehensive nutrition and fitness program. As an extension of this she now offers a healthy, gourmet meal delivery service.

Betsy and her husband lead a healthy, active lifestyle by regularly participating in triathlons, surfing, snowboarding, playing tennis, basketball and more. With their baby daughter in tow, they are always eager to explore the beautiful surroundings of Santa Barbara.

“Five star dining, five times a day – it doesn’t get any better than that. The food is above and beyond any restaurant I’ve ever been too and the nutritional factor for me is off the charts. Betsy’s nutritional program has improved the clarity in my professional work, heightened my energy level, and enhanced my athletic performance. I knew that this would be a life change but not one with such astronomical results. The miracle for me has been how Betsy utilizes her knowledge to maximize my desired results through food and nutrition and makes it so simple and convenient. The individual program she put me on has exceeded all my personal goals and helped me be in the best health and condition I have ever been in my life, including my athletic days of high school.”

"For me, Betsy was a lifesaver. Six months ago I was taking painkillers every day as well as on and off antibiotics due to recurring diverticulitis. I could barely walk because my knees were so swollen with arthritis. I had no energy, and fell asleep at my desk at work almost daily. Thanks to a very good friend, I met Betsy. She was willing to meet with me at my home, which I really appreciate. She even went so far as to go on a grocery shopping trip with us, to teach us how to choose healthy products. She provided meal plans, recipes, snack ideas, even shopping lists, all geared towards my specific nutritional needs. Now, six months later I’ve lost well over 30 lbs, and 15+ inches. The arthritis swelling has gone down so much that I haven’t taken painkillers in months. I have much more energy, sleep better at night, and feel better all over. I haven’t nodded off at my desk in months, which makes my boss really happy! Betsy has certainly turned my life around. I have a long way to go, but I know that with her continued support I will make it. She is so kind and caring, knowledgeable and vivacious. She’s a true representation of living a healthy lifestyle. Betsy didn’t just teach me a new way of eating… she taught me a new way of living."

"I have been working with Betsy for the past 6 months and it has been a great experience! Betsy has set up a nutrition and fitness program that is comprehensive and specifically designed for me. Most importantly, what makes Betsy so special is her genuine caring nature, which has put me at ease in a myriad of ways. I feel completely valued, heard and never judged. Betsy surpasses everyone I have ever worked with in her desire to make a real difference and has consistently proved to me that she will do whatever is necessary to help me achieve my goals. I am getting stronger and healthier every day due to Betsy’s efforts. I am very excited to know that Betsy is now starting a business where she delivers healthy and delicious meals. Given her expertise, I’m sure this will be a healthy and rewarding experience for many."
