Judy Barbe, RD  

As the founder of LiveBest, I specialize in nutrition communications consulting where I share proven practices to help you live best. A registered dietitian with a master's degree in nutrition, I bring realistic solutions to table. 
[Edit to amp up the food waste part'


I am a food thought leader, stimulating an informed conversation about nutrition, health, and agriculture. As a former Senior Director of Health and Wellness, I oversaw nutrition programs and communications with emphasis on influencer relationship management and outreach, nutrition communications strategy, event planning, and materials development and marketing. I've worked with ag producers across the region including on my family's cattle ranch. I bridge the gap between urban consumers and today’s modern farming practices.

An eat-most-everything-etarian, I think good food makes your life better. 
 I am the author of Your 6-Week Guide to LiveBest, Simple Solutions for Fresh Food and Well-Being. Available via Amazon in hard copy and Kindle, this hands-on book helps adults reboot their lives with great food, activity, and knowing their environment. It is filled with assessments, inspiration, and simple, practical solutions. Whether readers are new to eating healthfully or self-proclaimed foodies, they’ll learn something new about living their best while eating deliciously. It’s a delectable book not just to read, but to enjoyably use.
