Jennifer believes that the foundation for health begins with good nutrition. There is a lot of outdated and inaccurate nutrition information on the internet. Information related to the renal diet should be specific to the patient. Individuals with kidney disease need to know what to eat to help maintain and preserve their kidney function. Jennifer feels that food is an important part of our culture so it’s important to her to help her clients continue to enjoy food no matter what their stage of kidney disease.

My approach to care is simple. I listen to my patients/clients and try to meet them where they are. There is no sense in diving in the deep end if you've never even dipped your toe in the water. We all have to start somewhere, big or small, but I prefer small. I prefer building on these small goals, which eventually become successes that we can continue to build on. I believe that to be truly successful, we must create a strong foundation to build on. That way, if our blocks start to tumble, we know we have our foundation to stabilize us. As a practitioner, I prefer to look at the whole picture. Sometimes we may not even realize t

Hi there, I’m Carly (She/her). I’m so glad that you’re here! I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Licensed Dietitian practicing in Texas. I received a Bachelor’s of Science in Nutrition with a business minor from the University of Texas at Austin. I currently live in Austin, Tx with my husband, two children, and new puppy. In my free time you can find me enjoying beautiful weather (aka not the Texas summer) outside, going for long drives around Austin, and experimenting in the kitchen…and let’s be honest, probably at some school, social or extra-curricular related event for my kids.

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.
