LIFE COUNSELING THROUGH NUTRITION
GET HEALTHY WITH SHORE NUTRITION ASSOCIATES
There is often times a disconnect when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle; we know what’s good for our bodies, but we don’t always act accordingly. Shore Nutrition Associates aims to mend the gap between knowing and doing, by catering to each individual's unique circumstances. Whether it is weight loss or weight management, managing a dietary condition, or developing a healthy relationship with food, Shore Nutrition Associates offers a variety of services and packages designed to meet your needs.
Bio-James Montgomery
James Montgomery is a Registered Dietitian specializing in weight management, diabetes and cardiac related issues. James believes that making a few lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise can make a big difference to a person's wellbeing. Growing up in a home where his father was overweight and had health issues, he became aware that lifestyle changes could help his father achieve a better quality of life. Along with playing sports for most of his life, James became aware of the role nutrition plays in fueling the human body to maximize performance.
There are, however, challenges to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. It can be difficult to always eat the right food and get the correct amount of exercise. People today have very busy lives with work, family and many other responsibilities. Sometimes a person just needs some assistance to explain the overall benefits of eating a balanced diet, making sure one is getting the correct amount of calories and protein and starting an exercise regimen that can best suit their needs. James sits down with a client and listens to their current day to day lifestyle and the challenges that they are facing and comes up with a plan to explain what they need to do to improve their health.
James graduated Magna Cum Laude in April 2013 from Eastern Michigan University’s Coordinated Program in Dietetics with a Bachelor’s Degree. Following graduation, he continued his education and obtained a Master's of Science Degree in Human Nutrition also from Eastern Michigan University. He is currently employed at Jersey Shore University Medical Center assessing and educating patients from a variety of backgrounds dealing with multiple diseases.
