I'm a Registered Dietitian and medical cannabis expert specializing in combining my nutrition and medical cannabis expertise to help patients get well, feel well and be well. Personal experience led me on this journey. Now, I am bringing the skills and knowledge I acquired in my nutrition private practice and consulting career and applying them in the cannabis space.
My Bio:
Faye Berger Mitchell recently completed her masters’ degree in Medical Cannabis Science and Therapeutics from the University of Maryland, Baltimore, School of Pharmacy. Combining her unique blend of nutrition and medical cannabis expertise, Faye’s private practice and consulting business focuses on helping patients get well, feel well and be well. Her passion is educating the public and allied health professionals about the risks and benefits of cannabis as medicine.
Faye’s entrepreneurial spirit has resulted in a variety of self-created businesses. A pioneer, Faye built and maintained a thriving nutrition private practice and consulting business in the DC metro area in the late 1980’s. She helped thousands of clients ditch their diets to adopt her philosophy “Eat for Pleasure – Move for Fun”.
Faye helped colleagues start practices through workshops, private coaching, consultations, speaking engagements, and her Be Your Own Boss Starter Kit. Past publications include Making Nutrition Your Business – Private Practice and Beyond (2011) and American Dietetic Association Guide to Private Practice (2004). She also created Foodie On Campus, an online magazine and food blog to help college students take the guesswork out of college eating.
Faye has presented at many state and regional dietetic association meetings and annual conferences. She has worked extensively with the media. A guest lecturer at several colleges and universities, Faye was selected to give the Dorothy M. Proud lecture at Cornell University in 2016.
After a major surgery in 2016, Faye turned to medical cannabis to help with her recovery and found it to be more effective than other treatment options. Her medical background and interest in learning the science behind medical cannabis changed her trajectory. Honors include Award for Excellence in Consultation and Business Practice - ADA, Outstanding Nutrition Entrepreneur of the Year Award – NEDPG, Rho Chi pharmacy honor society, and Phi Kappa Phi honor society.
