Marie Ruggles RD, CN

Marie Ruggles is a clinical nutritionist with a Master's Degree from Columbia University in Nutrition and Public Health where she started her career in research. She is also a Certified Diabetes Educator, is certified in essential oil safety and has 40 years of experience in the wellness arena. Her teaching focus is on coaching others to take back their power by developing a home inventory of natural wellness solutions. She is also obsessed with searching for the healthiest and tastiest foods, kitchen and natural wellness products, which can be found at Products Marie Loves at www.marieruggles.com. She aims to bring nutrition science (eating for prevention) into the kitchen by sharing easy hacks for getting real food on the table with minimal effort. After working in public health, translating the wisdom of science into simple action steps, Marie became concerned about people’s lack of reliable information regarding options for being proactive in their own self-care. She decided to write a book that could serve as a home reference guide for her students who were eager to learn about natural options for preventive health and everyday wellness challenges. Marie is the recipient of national awards for her nutrition education publications and lectures internationally on the safe use of essential oils for everyday wellness challenges. She hopes to inspire others to take responsibility for their personal wellness by applying the findings of cutting-edge nutrition research. Marie also advises medical practitioners who are looking to transform their eating habits to align better with the philosophy of their integrative clinical practices. Her Whole Foods Quick Start Guide is used by nutritionists around the country for educating their clients to move towards a healthier way of eating. It's available on her website: marieruggles.com When Marie isn’t teaching, she enjoys spending time with her family, working in healing prayer ministry, and baking.
