Empower Your Health Journey
~Chasing Your Health~
Vision &Mission
Hello everyone! I’m Chase Merfeld, a passionate Dietitian hailing from the small but vibrant state of South Dakota. My mission is to make evidenced-based nutrition information easily accessible to all. In today’s world, we’re often inundated with misinformation about diet and lifestyle, and it’s essential that we combat this with research, evidence, and good old-fashioned common sense.
Writing has always been a deep passion of mine, and I’m not shy about sharing my thoughts on the subjects that truly matter. On this platform, I’m thrilled to blend my insights on wellness and healthy living with my love for photography. Additionally, my wife and I are embarking on an exciting venture—a clothing line designed specifically for healthcare workers, featuring a few fun and stylish pieces.
I can’t wait to share this journey with you all and create a welcoming space for discussion and exploration. Let’s dive into this adventure together!
