Today we have Dr. Ashley Lucas, owner, founder and advisory
consultant for PHD Weight Loss and Nutrition. She has over 15
years of education in the field of nutrition and metabolism. Dr.
Lucas comes to the field of nutrition for weight loss and
wellness with a unique background. She spent the first 25 years
of her life participating in the rigorous training of her
professional classical ballet career; Constantly devoted to this
“passionate pursuit of perfection”. This deeply-rooted “pursuit”
was, for her, continuously met with injury and a constant fight
with the ballet-specific body type. As a result, in her mid 20’s
she retired from her professional dancing career, understood the
importance nutrition played in her own athletic performance, and
started along her path to becoming an expert in the field of
nutrition and wellness.


While understanding the importance nutrition played on her own
sport performance, she went on to earn her PhD in Sports
Nutrition and Chronic Disease from Virginia Tech. Her research
throughout her six-year post-graduate doctoral training focused
on energy metabolism and the Female Athlete Triad. Her approach
focuses on metabolic wellness, inflammation reduction, and most
importantly behavioral/emotional support that creates profound
sustainable transformation in the body and mind. She was awarded
the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Scholarship and completed
her dietetic internship at The Ohio State University. She passed
the national examination registering her as a dietitian offering
expert food, wellness and nutrition services. Dr. Lucas is a
nationally renowned speaker, columnist, and leading expert in the
field of weight management and behavior change.
