INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY WELLNESS
 
 
Angela has used her experience developing the LEAN Families program at Children's Medical Center Dallas to co-author another family nutrition program with Kathryn Fink, MS, RD, CSSD, LD. Simply entitled, "It's A Family Thing!,"  this program de-emphasizes any single person in the family.  No matter what size you are, all family members have goals set for them to work on throughout the program.  This is one of the most hands-on and practical nutrition programs around!
