Hello, I’m Randa Derkson and welcome!

Randa Derkson is a Certified Holistic Nutritionist, Culinary Nutrition Expert, Certified Sports Nutrition Consultant, a busy mom of 2, Disney lover, and a believer that food should be healthy, simple, and delicious. Phew. That’s a mouthful.

Hi I’m Randa and I’m a reformed fad dieter.

Say what? YES!

I have done it all and I have made it through to the other side for weight loss success, health, and satisfaction without feeling the crazy. Without missing foods, without telling myself no.

It’s my passion to share that with you too.

Like many of you, I grew up with no knowledge of nutrition. When I was trying to be healthy and “eat lettuce” I would drench it in Italian dressing. I had no idea that I was doing anything wrong, and to be honest I didn’t care much either.

After the loss of our first child, I knew my health had to change. I wanted to prepare my body for a healthy pregnancy and I wanted to be healthy for my child.

That is when I had my first introduction to fitness and nutrition. I worked out from home and ate 1200 calories a day.

That’s it.

I was starving, and miserable. I remember not eating all day just so I could enjoy a meal out at a restaurant, fully knowing it was over my calorie range.

This lead to a lot of binging, overtraining, and misery. Yes, I lost weight and got to where I wanted to be but it wasn’t how I wanted to do it. I knew I couldn’t keep it up.

Don’t let this be you.
