Born to Eat

Wendy Jo Peterson, MS, RDN is a non-diet dietitian and culinary nutritionist. She is the author of eight books, including Bread Making For Dummies and Meal Prep Cookbook For Dummies.  As with all military spouses, she wears many hats, but her favorite is her role as a mama. You can find Wendy Jo in her garden, walking the beach, in her camper van, or providing culinary education across the globe. She splits her time between Austin, Texas; San Diego, California; and Europe. Leslie Schilling, MA, RDN, CEDS-S, owns a Las Vegas-based practice specializing in nutrition counseling for families, people with disordered eating concerns, professional athletes, and performers.

As a registered dietitian certified as an eating disorder specialist and supervisor, Leslie spends much of her time supporting professionals across the nation through supervision. When she's not hiking or playing board games with her family, you can find her sharing non-diet messages on her social media and speaking platforms. Leslie is passionate about educating ministry, military, health, medical, and fitness professionals about the harms of diet culture.
