Missy (Melissa) Van Hyfte, MS, NBC-HWC, RYT-200
specializing in nutrition, health coaching, diet culture, rural living, plant-based lifestyles, women's health and women's running. I blend my BA in Creative Writing and MS in Nutrition Education to create engaging, evidence-based pieces that are easy and entertaining to read.
My background in journalism makes me naturally curious and resourceful. I’m also a Board Certified Health and Wellness coach which amplifies my ability to dig deeper into interviews and personal stories. Living in the rural, Upper Midwest has cultivated my persistence, relentlessness and reliability. And because I grew up on a dairy farm, I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty from time-to-time.
I'm a health and wellness writer…
Fiber & Fabulous
Fiber & Fabulous is a nutrition education program that focuses on improving the health and well-being of women ages 40 to 64 living in rural, Southwest Minnesota. Program participants will identify the risks of heart disease specific to women and how these risks are related to not eating enough fiber. Our multilevel approach blends in-person education and activities with social support. Through these avenues, participants will learn how to easily identify high-fiber foods and incorporate them into their (and their families’) diets to meet the recommended intake. These changes will help improve the overall health and well-being of the participants as well as decrease their risk of heart disease.
