Melissa Halas-Liang, MA, RD, CDE
Melissa Halas-Liang, MA, RD, CDE, always had a passion for eating
healthfully which resulted in her career choice of Registered Dietitian
and nutrition educator. In 2006, she realized her true purpose…to
save the world one healthy food at a time™ with the development of
SuperKids Nutrition, a company and mega Website resource for
easy-to-read credible nutrition information and activities for families.
Melissa believes that good nutrition can fuel you, creating
sustainable energy so you can live your best life. Her philosophy
on nutrition is that regardless of your food habits, small changes can
make a difference and build momentum for lasting changes with positive,
powerful results. Whether it's helping families eat healthier or
inspiring parents and students to be more nutritionally fit, she
believes good nutrition plays a vital role in spiritual, physical and
mental health.
Melissa is a Certified Diabetes Educator, holds a
Bachelors of Science in Clinical Dietetics and Masters degree in
Nutrition Education and practiced as Certified Nutrition Support
Dietitian for 10 years. She has the Certificate of training for
Childhood and Adolescent Weight Management. Melissa has 15 years

District of the CDA.
For the past eight years, Melissa has
provided on-line education at universities to health professionals,
fitness professionals, Registered Dietitians and the general public.
Under the SuperKids Nutrition Inc. umbrella, Melissa showcased her
creativity with the birth of the Super Crew® characters through her
books, Super Baby Abigail's Lunch Time Adventure and Havoc at the
Hillside Market. The books motivate young children to develop
healthy eating habits from an early age so they can achieve their full
potential by living a healthy life. |
