SHREVEPORT, La. – In today’s health watch, we sit down with registered dietitian Courtney Butts.
During the summer months, many of us are traveling or shuffling our children around to camps and activities.
So we asked Courtney how to keep up a healthy lifestyle while we’re on the go.
Courtney is the founder and owner of Courtney Butts Nutrition, LLC. You may also know her by her maiden name, Courtney Hammons. Originally a small town girl from Choudrant, Louisiana, Courtney currently resides in Bossier City, Louisiana with her husband Paul and her new last name Butts.
She is recognized as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) by the Commission on Dietetic Registration, and she is also recognized as a Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist (LDN) by the Louisiana Board of Examiners in Dietetics and Nutrition in state of Louisiana.
Before obtaining her credentials as a dietitian, she completed didactic and hands-on training at the collegiate level. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition & Dietetics and a Master of Science in Nutrition from Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, Louisiana. During her masters, she completed research focusing on food insecurity on college campuses across the state of Louisiana.
Before entering the professional world practicing as a dietitian, Courtney served her home state as Miss Louisiana 2020, where she advocated and educated others about food insecurity with her social impact initiative, “Feed the Food Bank.” During her year as Miss Louisiana, she had the opportunity to speak with people from many different walks of life about food and nutrition and even had the opportunity to host her own virtual cooking shows and classes through partnerships with the Miss Louisiana Organization and corporate sponsors.
Courtney is very passionate about educating others about food and nutrition. As a dietitian, it is her life’s mission to help bring balance in people’s life when it comes to food and challenge individuals to be proactive with their health – in mind, body, and spirit.
