Hi Laura. I’ve been googling around, trying to find dietitians in the Overland Park area. I’m interested in seeing somebody to review and correct my diet. I’m actually in very good shape (scored a perfect 100/100 on a recent health assessment), but that assessment obviously didn’t consider what I eat, and I know for a fact that I could be doing better. Is this something that you normally do?

Thank you for reading! As you can tell, I unfortunately haven’t been updating my blog recently. I’ve been busy with school. Hopefully within the next couple of months (as I finish up school stuff), I can start spending more time exploring tea rooms again. I appreciate the encouraging feedback!
