I enjoy traveling and learning new cultures and cultural cuisines, flying with my fiancé, hiking with my dogs, cooking, kickboxing, and spending meaningful time with family and friends.
About Me
Hello! I'm so glad we've crossed paths. Here's a bit more about me to help us get familiar with each other!
My name is Chrissy Canterberry. I have over 7 years of experience as a registered dietitian! This year I became credentialed as a certified diabetes care and education specialist. My practice's expertise is in diabetic management, weight management, and digestive health. I am a graduate of Marshall University with a Bachelor's degree in Nutrition and Dietetics with minor in Psychology. From there, I partnered with Marshall again for my Dietetics Internship that led me to passing the Registered Dietitian Exam in 2015. I obtained a Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics at Marshall University in December 2015.
My first job was at University of South Carolina as Sports Dietitian with Olympic Teams! I have worked at a critical care hospital and long-term care facilities with over 5 years of experience with diabetes, gastrointestinal disease(s), weight management, renal disease(s), oncology, enteral and parenteral nutrition, dysphagia, wound healing, etc.
