Medicare Nutritionists and Dietitians near Gig Harbor, WA

My ideal client is proactive and motivated to improve their health, dealing with challenges like diabetes, weight management, or food sensitivities. They seek not just a diet, but a sustainable, balanced lifestyle. Their goal is to understand their condition, learn how to nourish their body correctly, and feel empowered in their food choices. They want guidance to navigate their dietary needs without feeling overwhelmed, aiming for a healthier, happier life. The why is clear: to take control of their health, experience wellness, and enjoy life to its fullest.

Kristin is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist who practices out of Health Loft, specializing in working with adults and adolescents with Eating Disorders, Disordered Eating, Digestive issues, Crohn's, Celiac, and interested in Weight Management. Kristin enjoys collaborating with her clients and supporting them on their journey towards making sustainable lifestyle changes and believes health relies on the balance of nutritional, mental, social, emotional, physical and spiritual wellness.

Whether life has just presented you with a new health concern, or you are looking to rekindle your relationship with food, or anywhere in between, I am here to help! There are many factors to consider when striving to live well, and they can understandably lead to frustration! Eating is something we are biologically required to do, so why not make it a positive experience?

Are you sick and tired of feeling sick and tired? Have you tried every diet or health hack, yet still fall short of reaching your wellness goals? I get it! We get bombarded with daily messages about quick fixes to improve our health. Only to learn they are not sustainable in the long run. So how do we actually make lifestyle changes that we can stick to, for good? Through my personal experience I have found that there is no “one diet fits all.” To find food freedom, we must listen to our bodies, and stop listening to the noise of diet culture. Once I practiced this for myself, I found that food affected my mood, digestion & energy.

In a world where we have unlimited access to overwhelming and confusing information about health, it can be challenging to know where to start. The foods we enjoy, our relationships with them, and how our bodies respond are so individualized that our approach has to be too!

Hi, my name is Rachel Dyal (she/her). I enjoy working with all clients as they navigate an eating disorder or disordered eating. Due to the four years I spent as an US Army Dietitian, I have experience supporting Service Members and Veterans as they navigate the immediate and long-term impact of the intense pressure and scrutiny military environments place on eating, movement, and physical appearance. I also support Service Members' loved ones as their eating and body image is often influenced by the military eating environment.

Are you interested in improving your health through the foods you eat? Are you hoping to finally make changes that are impactful and sustainable?

My ideal client is motivated to improve their health but may feel overwhelmed by the complex world of nutrition. They could be juggling multiple chronic conditions, unique dietary needs, or weight management goals. They seek not only to alleviate symptoms but also to enhance their overall well-being. They desire personalized guidance to navigate their specific challenges, aiming for sustainable lifestyle changes. They value support in understanding how nutrition fits into their busy life, driven by the wish to feel empowered and confident in their food choices.

Every new patient I meet is like a puzzle, and I relish the experience of helping each person find the unique combination of pieces that makes their life more complete and fulfilling. I understand that lifestyle change is hard and uncomfortable, but it can also be purposeful and manageable when thought of as a more long-term investment toward your best self. If I can impart any words of encouragement until we first meet, I want you to know two things: there is no such thing as failure, only learning experiences; and you are worth the investment you make in yourself.

Hello! My name is Zella and I am one of the dietitians here at Sensibly Sprouted.

Part of my work as a consultant at Love Yourself Nutrition and as a Registered Dietitian is to provide a comprehensive set of services to help boost clients' confidence and offer support as they navigate their health and wellness challenges. I especially enjoy working with people on their weight loss goals. Weight loss is a very personal experience and there are so many recommendations out there on the "best way" to do it. I believe the relationship we have with food is extremely important when we are on a weight loss journey and that the psychology behind it has to be at the forefront of this journey.

I want to help you figure out how to eat in a way that is healthy for you, and that's going to look a little different for everyone. A good nutrition plan should add value to your life, not take center stage.

I strongly believe in the power of food as medicine. I work with my clients to treat their health concerns using a natural, whole foods approach. My main areas of expertise include food allergies/sensitivities, digestive disorders such as IBS and SIBO, diabetes, and cardiovascular health.
