Welcome! I’m Amanda (she/her), one of the registered dietitians at Redefined Nutrition. I specialize in helping individuals with ADHD/Autism navigate the challenges they face with eating and nourishing their bodies, as it can often feel like one more thing to juggle. Distractions, sensory sensitivities, and inconsistent eating habits make things like meal planning and staying on track feel like a constant struggle. As a neurodivergent dietitian, I understand these challenges firsthand. Managing nutrition isn’t just about food—it’s about understanding how your unique brain works and finding ways to make eating less overwhelming.

My ideal clients are individuals seeking support to improve their health through evidence-based, personalized nutrition. They may feel overwhelmed by symptoms, medical needs, or lifestyle challenges and want realistic, sustainable guidance. I help them by meeting them where they are and focusing on education rather than restriction. Together, we explore the “why” behind symptoms and behaviors and build practical strategies that fit their daily life, goals, and needs for lasting, meaningful change.
