It is incredibly important to me to treat every one of my patient's as the unique individual they are which means really getting to know YOU and what has brought you here. I aim to emphasize the nuance of health to help folks understand the many variables that influence one's wellbeing, while identifying markers around nutrition that may be contributing to conditions and concerns. I love trouble shooting how to heal the body from the inside out, and dialing in ways to apply appropriate changes and interventions consistently is a huge focus of what we do together.

The old saying goes, "If you give a man a fish you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime." I'm a firm believer in learning how to eat for individual health. This why I don't provide meal plans, but instead approach each client with one goal - to eat as liberal a diet as possible. I don't believe that dietary restrictions should be routine, but instead ONLY utilized when a person shows a clear intolerance or allergy to a food. Nutrition research has consistently shown that those who eat a wide variety of foods, experience the best health. Eating is a good and necessary part of life, and if it is

How can an Austin Nutritionist help me?
Dietitians and Nutritionists in Austin provide advice on good eating habits. They help you with your diet and how it affects your health. They assess nutrition needs and food patterns, plan a diet that's appropriate for your physical and dietary needs, and provide nutrition counseling, such as advice on dietary changes and menu plans. They advise on special diets for medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, food allergies, and obesity.

The word dietitian has a variant spelling 'dietician' (e.g. find an Austin dietician). Both spellings are correct.

About Austin Registered Dietitians
Registered Dietitians or Registered Dietitian Nutritionists in Austin complete a bachelor's degree at a school accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, as well as a period of supervised practice and an exam administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration. While certification is not required in all states for nutritional counseling or nutrition therapy, only individuals certified by their respective states may use the Certified Dietitian or Certified Nutritionist titles.

How to use my insurance?
Some Nutritionists and Austin dietary professionals accept health insurance. Check to see if your insurance is covered. Feel free to discuss this when you contact the Nutritionist or Dietitian.
