Drusilla Rosales is a Texas-based Registered and Licensed Dietitian with over 13 years of experience working with families, children, and adolescents in a variety of settings. She is also a working mom who understands how hectic those weeknights (and weekends!) can be, and what a struggle it is to get a quick and healthy meal on the table that everyone will eat.
With a background in eating disorders, weight management, and sports nutrition, Dru is sensitive to the fact that raising confident eaters begins around the family dinner table. She strives to empower her clients to cook more family meals, involve their children in the kitchen, and know that they are doing the best they can.
