Liz Toland Bio:
Liz is a graduate of Virginia Tech and holds degrees in Psychology and Human Nutrition, Foods, and Exercise. She completed the VCU Health System Dietetic Internship where she specialized in Clinical Nutrition and completed rotations at an eating disorder treatment center. Liz later worked at this same facility, specializing in the treatment of eating disorders.

Liz's passion for nutrition counseling began during her undergraduate studies when she counseled individuals as part of her dietetic course work. Liz's food philosophy is that all foods fit into a balanced lifestyle, and finding the right path to health is unique for each individual. She aims to help clients achieve balance through intuitive eating and eating competence principles.

Liz received her Masters of Science in Dietetics from Kansas University Medical Center and is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). Liz is a member of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the International Federation of Eating Disorder Dietitians, and the International Association for Eating Disorder Professionals (IAEDP).

Liz Toland Bio:
Liz is a graduate of Virginia Tech and holds degrees in Psychology and Human Nutrition, Foods, and Exercise. She completed the VCU Health System Dietetic Internship where she specialized in Clinical Nutrition and completed rotations at an eating disorder treatment center. Liz later worked at this same facility, specializing in the treatment of eating disorders.

Liz's passion for nutrition counseling began during her undergraduate studies when she counseled individuals as part of her dietetic course work.
