Meet Shelly Redmond, Shreveport Registered Dietitian
Hi, I’m Shelly Marie Redmond, MS, RD, LDN—a registered dietitian in Shreveport, Louisiana, founder of Skinny Louisiana™, and proud to be called the Queen of Healthy Cajun Cuisine. My life’s work combines my love of Louisiana cooking with my mission to help women lose weight, balance blood sugar, and take control of their health—without giving up flavor.
My Story
From Winning a Cooking Contest at 12 to Cajun Queen
My passion for food started early. At just 12 years old, I entered (and won!) my first cooking contest, and I’ve been hooked ever since. That moment lit a fire in me to not just cook—but to share food that brings joy, comfort, and connection.
Why I Fell in Love with Food, Cooking, and Louisiana
Growing up in Louisiana, I was surrounded by bold flavors, rich traditions, and food that always brought people together. But I also saw how much health was impacted by what we ate. I wanted to find a way to keep our Cajun culture alive on the plate while making it healthier and lighter. That’s how Skinny Louisiana™ was born.
My Passion and My Why
Helping Women Lose Weight with Flavor, Not Restrictions
I believe food should be exciting, not bland. Forget boring chicken, green beans, and plain salads—I show women how to enjoy food they love while still losing weight. My clients typically lose 4–10 pounds in the first 21 days of working with me, and the best part? They don’t feel deprived.
Supporting Diabetes, PCOS, and Hormone Balance
In my private practice, I work with women facing real struggles: diabetes, PCOS, and hormone imbalances. I understand how overwhelming it can feel to juggle blood sugar, hormones, and cravings. My goal is to make food simple, delicious, and sustainable so that healthy eating feels empowering—not frustrating.
My Work as a Registered Dietitian in Shreveport
Private Practice Nutrition Counseling
Every day, I meet one-on-one with women in Shreveport and virtually across Louisiana. Together, we create personalized nutrition plans that fit real life—whether you’re managing diabetes, trying to lose weight, or navigating hormone health.
What My Clients Can Expect (Results + Support)
When you work with me, you’ll get more than a meal plan—you’ll get support, strategies, and flavor-packed recipes that actually fit your lifestyle. My clients tell me they finally feel confident about food instead of confused.
Media and Recognition
Awards
I was awarded the Outstanding Alumni Award at her alma mater Nicholls State University for her contributions to the study of dietetics.
Featured in National Media
My passion for food and nutrition has been featured on CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX affiliates, BuzzFeed, SELF, Women’s Health, and more. One of my proudest moments? Men’s Health named my New Orleans BBQ Shrimp one of the “50 Healthiest Recipes Known to Man.”
Author of Skinny Louisiana™ Cookbooks
I’ve also shared my Cajun-inspired healthy recipes in two cookbooks:
- Skinny Louisiana… in the Kitchen
- Skinny Louisiana… in the Slow Cooker
From Skinny Crab-Stuffed Mushrooms to Sizzling Sweet Potato Fries, my recipes prove healthy doesn’t mean boring.
