Sugar Land Dietitian Patty Duhon
Helping people to lose weight, get better fit, achieve wellness to prevent disease is Patty's focus¯.
Nutrition, It's been Patty's Life!
Patty's been fascinated with eating healthy and exercising for a long time. It was instilled in Patty and her sisters to eat vegetables everyday. Back in high school, Patty would get her friends to come over to try her mother's freshly cooked green beans, or the vegetable in season at the time. She got her friends happy and excited and hooked on vegetables. They laughed and made fun of her love for vegetables and fruits, and they gave her funny nicknames, like "Green Bean Queen"¯ and Citrus Royalty. Patty enjoyed having this impact on her friends and motivating them to try vegetables and to eat healthier as well. Patty's passion for healthy eating and exercising grew exponentially throughout the years. She was also inspired to learn more about nutrition through her own struggles with weight gain from time to time. Patty recalls coaching friends in high school on how to lose weight. They felt comfortable confiding in her, so she motivated them in every way she could. Patty knew then that she wanted to be in a profession where she could impact and change people's lives for the better. That's just what she is doing today in private practice providing nutritional counseling to both adults and children.
