Parker Nelson Nutrition
About
Parker Nelson, MS, RD
I currently live in Walnut Creek, California and like to spend my free time cooking, playing sports, and watching movies. Much of my time is also spent on walks with my wife and adorable toddler. There are many personal and communal challenges that brought me into this field, so I have a great passion for helping others learn about creative ways to improve their health and enjoy food to the fullest!
Education
Masters's of Science - Applied Nutrition

In addition to the scientific coursework in a range of nutrition concepts, I completed over 1200 supervised experiential learning hours in clinical, community, and food service management rotations, which concluded with research papers on protein supplementation and farming practices
Bachelor's of Science - Business Marketing

Certifications
Although my undergrad taught me nothing about nutrition, (except how to enjoy fast food everyday) I spent the time between my undergrad and graduate programs earning certifications and taking more nutrition prerequisite classes such as physiology and anatomy, biochemistry, and food innovations that allowed me to apply to my graduate program
