Thanks for visiting Fit For Wellness! My name is Kasey Lopez. I’m a registered dietitian who believes in practicing what you preach. Working full time at a hospital in New Orleans, I treat a variety of medical conditions with specialities in Bariatric Surgery and Adult Bone Marrow Transplantation. I’m also certified in Adult Weight Management.
My interest in health and wellness began early in my childhood. I actually developed a exercise program for my mother when I was only ten years old! I was probably the only kid during summer vacation who set the alarm every morning so I would not miss my favorite exercise show (seriously… what child does that?). In addition to my love of exercise shows, I stayed very active growing up with dancing (ballet, jazz, lyrical, hip-hop, etc). After I was awarded “Most Health Conscious” of my high school class, I decided to pursue a career in Health and Nutrition. I attended LSU in Baton Rouge, LA and graduated in Dietetics. Then I moved to Texas to complete a Dietetic Internship at Universtity of Houston. Once I completed the internship, I moved back home to New Orleans and have been working as a clinical RD ever since. I seem to have influenced many roommates over the years… my aunt lowered her total cholesterol by ~21% during the year I lived with her to complete my internship and my husband Cory lost ~25 pounds after moving in with me!
The goal of Fit For Wellness is to be a reliable resource for nutrition, health, and overall wellness. I believe the key to wellness is living a balanced life… balance of work and leisure, balance of stress and relaxation, balance of indulgence and restraint. I hope to help others find their healthy balance!
