Registered Dietitian
Judy Roberts
Judith Roberts is the Registered Dietitian for COAST. She believes that Nutrition is the Key to a Long Life. Her passion for nutrition comes from her father having had a heart attack when she was 20 years old and realizing that nutrition was so important to the prevention of certain disease states. Nutrition can also be the center of the plate for family mealtimes, as nutrition and family are critical. She graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi with a BS in Nutrition, Foodservice and Dietetics. She works and has worked in Acute & Chronic Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Behavioral Health, the State of LA & MS for WIC, Colleges doing Sports Nutrition, Eating Disorders, Grocery Tours, Label Reading, and Shopping, Manufacturing & Sales, Trade Shows, Menu Writing, Pediatrics, Clinic Research, as well as working for myself in private practice. Her husband, Steve, and Judy have two children: their son, Richard, who is 29 years old in restaurant management at a resort in Big Sky, Montana, and their daughter, Melody, who is 23 years old in medical school in New Orleans. Their hobbies are primarily family time together and swimming. The only project she is currently working on is growing the Waldheim Community Church, which leads her to say that God put nutrition in her life to be a lifelong ministry.
