Dorene s passion for nutrition and weight management (including understanding how our bodies work) sprang from her own struggles with weight, in her late teens and early twenties, when at times she weighed over 40 pounds more than she does today.
Through healthy eating and an active lifestyle she has maintained that weight loss for over 25 years. Dorene says that, There is nothing more rewarding than helping someone else become empowered to create their own success with their weight that s what I get excited about!
She knows it s tough though, especially with the enormous amount of misinformation being peddled to people looking for answers.
Fortunately for her readers Dorene likes to get to the bottom of threads of research to see what the data actually shows, and she has a knack for translating research into practical actionable advise. After hundreds of hours on Medline, and digging through the University of Washington Medical library stacks she s made herself an expert on evidence-based weight management research with a personal library of over 1,000 published research articles. She has particular expertise with 1) the metabolic literature related to the effects of dieting and exercise on basal metabolic rate and body composition; 2) appetite regulation; 3) exercise for weight loss and maintenance; 4) the effects of protein, carbohydrate and fat on energy balance; 5) weight loss misinformation and myths; etc., etc.!
Dorene has been a Registered Dietitian since 1993, and her focus has always been weight management. In addition to authoring The Healthy Eating & Weight Management Guide, some of her accomplishments since then include:
Managed one of the largest outpatient weight management programs in the Seattle area, personally working with hundreds of clients over a wide range of BMIs.
Providing training to nearly 2000 professionals who attended her accredited continuing education workshop (Advanced training in Weight Management, for health professionals working with weight loss) which was offered in 25 cities nationwide in 2003 and 2004.
Prior to taking her own training on the road in 2003:
Dorene had been a regularly featured presenter at fitness industry conventions in the US and Canada since 1997.
Taught weight management to nutrition and naturopathic medical students as part of her graduate coursework at Bastyr University.
Taught a weight management course at Lake Washington Technical College for students in the Fitness Specialist program.
Maintained a certification as a personal trainer for 15 years. She grew up in an athletic nature-loving family and remembers her father weight training three nights a week from the time that she was just four years old. Her father will be 76-years-old in August and is still going strong!
For the past ten years Dorene s fitness routine has consisted of yoga (three days a week) and aerobics or walking (a couple days a week). Recently, she s starting to get back into weight training, which had been a regular of her routine since her late twenties until she switched to yoga to rehab a chronic shoulder injury.
