Hello Everyone!
If you have been diagnosed with prediabetes, insulin resistance, or a form of metabolic syndrome, I am here to help. My focus is on teaching mindful eating techniques to help you improve your relationship with food while achieving better blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol control. My name is April Wiles, AKA the Gen X Dietitian. I have been a dietitian for over 25 years, and I am currently the Clinical Nutrition Director for a rural hospital system. In my role, I have had the pleasure of helping individuals from all walks of life achieve better nutritional health.

I want this to be a space where you are comfortable asking questions and talking about your struggles and accomplishments with food. This community is so important because you can see that you are not alone.
