About

Linda Ankner began her career as a Registered Dietitian in 2007. She has several years of experience in health promotion, nutrition education and food service. Linda is a graduate of Louisiana State University where she earned her Master’s Degree in Nutritional Science and a Bachelor’s Degree in Dietetics. Linda has worked as a school nutrition professional, nutrition software manager and a corporate wellness dietitian. Linda is also a mother to two beautiful daughters. She started Familythyme Wellness out of concern about how the media and other social pressures cultivate unachievable body images. Linda wants to teach not only her daughters, but all families, that healthy habits create healthy bodies. And healthy bodies have less disease risk, better mental health and can live active lives longer. Linda uses the researched based principles of intuitive eating to help people stop dieting and remove any guilt or shame associated with food so they can become positive influences on their children’s lives and their own lives. She teaches families how to cultivate fun and engaging activities that center around positive food attitudes, gentle movements and really connecting emotionally.

Linda is a published author in several peer reviewed journals under her maiden name, Linda Silverman (1 2 3 ). She also holds a certificate in nutritional counseling. Linda is excited to work with you and your family! Click below to learn about the services she offers.
