A career spent helping people sort through the overwhelming number of confusing messages about nutrition and healthy eating habits convinced Kathy a resource was needed where people could go to get simple, straightforward answers they could use in their daily lives. In response, she created a home on the web everyone from parents planning meals for a growing family to senior adults preparing meals for one can not only find helpful information but get answers to their questions.
"So many people are confused and frustrated by all the information on healthy eating that bombards them, much of which is misleading and some just wrong," says Birkett, the recently named state Dietitian of the Year by the South Carolina Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. "It's rewarding to see their reactions when it's laid out to them in words that are relevant, understandable and help them make changes and nutrition choices that are sustainable and lifelong. NutritionForTheHealthOfIt.com is my way of reaching out to and helping more people than I can one on one."
Visitors to the site find articles on timely health and nutrition topics, such as the recent "Time for 'Play Ball' – But Don't Forget Healthy Eating at the Stadium," (http://www.nutritionforthehealthofit.com/health-eating-baseball-stadium-4146) discussions on key family health issues, including "Children's Weight Key to Health – Parents Can Make a Difference," (http://www.nutritionforthehealthofit.com/children-weight-health-parents) and an Ask The Dietitian page ), where Kathy answers questions she has received.
"I know there are many sources out there and too much information that is unhelpful at best," Birkett says, "so I want to provide people a place where they can learn what they need on their own terms to." While the site offers the ability to comment on articles, Kathy also has a contact page so guests can contact her confidentially, though she makes it clear she does not provide medical advice and suggests contacting personal physicians.
