About Amanda

Hello and welcome! My name is Amanda Hookom, and I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Group Fitness Instructor, Yoga Teacher, and CEO of Hookom on Health, LLC.

I’m a born-and-raised Minnesotan who grew up in an (almost) suburb of the Twin Cities. I attended the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities where I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Nutrition/Dietetics in 2017 and minors in Public Health and Gender, Women, & Sexuality Studies. While in college, I became a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) in 2015. I completed my Dietetic Internship at Loyola University-Chicago, and earned my Registered Dietitian Nutritionist credential in 2018. From there, I became a Certified Group Fitness Instructor through the Athletics and Fitness Association of America in 2019. In 2021, I completed a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training through My Vinyasa Practice.

In July of 2019, I officially founded Hookom on Health, LLC and have been working to build it ever since. My goal with my business is to make nutrition more accessible to every body in a way that is fun, approachable, and judgment-free. I do this by empowering individuals to make food and movement decisions that are authentic to their inner self.

Here, I operate under 3 core values:

1. ALL bodies are good bodies worthy of respect, compassion, and agency.
2. ALL foods fit in a well-balanced, varied eating pattern.
3. Movement should feel good and be enjoyable.

I’m an avid hiker, yogi, skijorer, foodie (aren’t we all?) and lover of dogs, adventure, and pretty much anything involving the outdoors or being on one of Minnesota’s over 10,000 lakes.

I want to make nutrition and fitness more accessible and approachable to people without calorie counting, shame, or stigma. Because making health decisions that are authentic to your true self doesn’t need to be complicated, and every small change adds up!

I’m here to support you wherever you are on your health journey.

Thank you for being here, and…

Be well,

Amanda
