Gloria enjoys spreading the goodness of nutrition. She is an accomplished nutrition expert, committed to helping people lead healthier lifestyles through nutrition education and awareness. Gloria does not preach the ABCs of Nutrition, because she believes that in order for nutrition to have a positive impact on people, it needs to be fun and practical. She debunks diet myths and makes sense of breaking nutrition news so that readers will learn the essence of healthy eating. Gloria's articles have appeared on various media such as Reuters, NBC & ABC affiliates, The Chicago Sun-Times, Reader's Digest Canada, iVillage and USA Today.
Gloria founded HealthCastle.com as a hobby site in 1997 when a family member was diagnosed with cancer. Being a registered dietitian, Gloria decided to write and compile cancer nutrition articles so that other families can benefit from the information as well. Since then, the HealthCastle Nutrition community has grown into a full-fledged nutrition resource library. Prior to managing HealthCastle.com full-time, Gloria has worked as a Hospital Manager with Mead Johnson Nutritionals as well as a Pediatric Nutrition Specialist with Ross Products.
