You may have noticed a new look for the Nutrition Facts label on some packaged foods. The label changes are meant to reflect the mounting scientific evidence linking diet to chronic disease and obesity. These changes should make it easier for consumers to make more informed food choices.
You will notice increased type size for "calories, " "servings per container, " and "serving size" to better emphasize this information and make it easier to compare across similar products.This should be the first place to look when you read a label. This change has been long-awaited and will likely be one of the most helpful additions to the new labels.

Mary Jo Parker has saved my life! When I came out of the hospital after having pancreatitis, I didn't know what or even how to eat any more. She guided me through these challenges by giving me guidelines for portions, types of foods I should eat as well as types of foods I should avoid. Later on, she helped me navigate how to add certain foods and not eat others that were not as nutritionally sound for me anymore. She has helped me to maintain a decent and reasonable weight for my height and body structure and continues to help me to this day. She has also been one of my biggest motivators as well

Mary Jo is a very professional and compassionate person. I am a kidney transplant recipient and if you have problems with your kidneys, she is the right person to help you with your nutritional needs. I followed her instructions and I went from stage 5 to stage 4 for my kidney disease and I was able to avoid dialisys before my transplant. Right now, I am following her instructions in order to keep my new kidney healthy. I highly recommend her if you have kidney problems.She is great 👍

I have worked with Mary Jo for a few years. She is extremely knowledgeable and professional. She is one of the most patient, kind and compassionate people I know. She continues to guide me through the issues that require her expertise. I don’t know where I would be without her. I would recommend Mary Jo to anyone that needs nutritional help.

As people feel the need to write fake reviews to lower her rating, if I could give 6 stars for a real review, I would. I participated in a family nutrition program called Shapedown when I was a child that teaches not only healthy eating for families but better ways to cope emotionally instead of eating. I lost over 70lbs in the program with MaryJo’s help and to this day still use the lessons I learned in my fitness journey (and even borrow some of those lessons to use with the kids in my child care programs now). Our family still uses MaryJo and though I am no longer a client, she has such a
