ON THE PERSONAL SIDE:

 

Her personalized approach, passion and unsurpassed reputation as a nutrition/fitness expert, counselor and eating disorder advocate has placed Mrs. Hastings as a high level official within the nutrition community.

 

Elaine was inspired to lead a healthy life by her own struggles as a young model and athlete competing for a spot on the U.S. women’s gymnastics team. As that dream approached actualization, her health began to deteriorate and she realized that the unrealistic expectations she set for herself, both physically and mentally, was the culprit. She found herself confronted with life or death and in the end, her goal to achieve a picture-perfect body image stole away her dreams of becoming an Olympian. .



Elaine uses that experience today as an expert nutritionist and dietitian to fulfill her mission: To provide expert nutrition, cutting-edge research and education while promoting healthy lifestyles and enabling a lifelong goal of balanced nutrition. Whether she is working with a mom, athlete, large corporation, community or a young person struggling with an eating disorder, Elaine’s goal every day is to ensure the success, health and happiness of every client.
