RACHEL MERKLE, RD, LD
Rachel has been a Registered and Licensed Dietitian in the state of Ohio for 9 years and brings much clinical experience to the table. This business facilitates a transition from acute care to community care led by the desire to help clients earlier in their journey with Diabetes and prevent long term complications.
Client Review:
“Rachel is by far the best nutritional coach I have met with. From day one she showed nothing but kindness, compassion and knowledge. Back in April when I was introduced to Rachel, I was a newly diagnosed diabetic who had no idea what I was doing. Rachel FaceTimed myself and my sister and helped explain diabetes, the difference between carbs and sugars, how each thing affected/affected my sugars and how to manage the highs and lows. I have met with Rachel multiple times and each time I end the call I feel confident not only in my choices but with the plan she and I developed. Rachel has been a true blessing. She has given me recipes, book ideas, vitamin suggestions as well as someone who listens and understands my concerns. I have lost almost 60 lbs since talking to her and my sugars are in the “normal range”. I highly recommend (merkle) wellness solutions to anyone who needs a warm compassionate nutritionist.”

In short - macronutrients are the key driver of what gives your body energy and they come in three forms: Carbohydrates (carbs), fats and proteins.
In our last Kids in the Kitchen Class, I introduced macronutrients, so I thought it would be appropriate to introduce them here to!
