Leann Hill, MS, CNS, LDN

Guest Teacher

Leann Hill, MS, CNS, LDN is a nutritionist and herbalist focusing on community education and the clinical use of botanicals. She first studied herbalism at the Florida School of Holistic Living, graduating from their Roots, Family, and Community Herbalism courses. During this time, she developed a strong appreciation for nutrition which eventually encouraged her to attend Sonoran University where she graduated with a Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition in 2022.

Within a year of graduating, Leann was given an opportunity to work in public health providing nutrition education to low-income communities. Since April of 2023, she has been part of the SNAP-Ed team at Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida. This team is part of a larger program that provides free nutrition classes throughout the state, but classes are not all they offer.

These teams also have people dedicated to making changes in policy, systems, and the environment that help to reframe how the public views food and pass policies that help to break down the barriers to nutrition security.

In addition to her work in public health, Leann is an active herbalist in the community and has an online presence, under the name of Bat Lady Herbals, to share her love of herbs.

  • Fighting the Fire Inside
    • 1:30 - 2:30 pm

Inflammation is a normal, healthy immune response to stimuli in the body. However, just like fire, when inflammation gets out of control it can cause some pretty negative outcomes. In this session, we will discuss healthy vs. unhealthy inflammation and learn how to help keep the fire to a minimum to promote a healthy life.
