About ERIN FREDERICKS, MSCN

I am a Food as Med­i­cine advo­cate and a cham­pi­on for Old­er Adults.

I spent 15 years in con­sumer adver­tis­ing, work­ing for foun­da­tion­al food
pub­lish­ers like Bon Appetit, Martha Stew­art and Rachael Ray, and online
health brands like Web­MD and Med­scape. From this van­tage point, I
wit­nessed the increas­ing dys­func­tion between our mod­ern food indus­try
and med­ical sys­tems — and left the cor­po­rate world to receive my mas­ter’s degree in nutri­tion sci­ence from the Nation­al Uni­ver­si­ty of Nat­ur­al Medicine.

We know that good nutri­tion is essen­tial to the pre­ven­tion and treat­ment of ill­ness – but our cur­rent health­care sys­tem is poor­ly struc­tured to pro­vide nutri­tion­al guid­ance. I designed the FAMILIAR pro­gram to teach nutri­tion­al fun­da­men­tals and a new way of meal plan­ning – because I want to help Old­er Adults find a per­son­al­ized set of lifestyle tools for aging well.
