Nutritionists and Dietitians near Richardson, TX

In my practice I specialize in helping people with blood sugar issues (pre-diabetes, diabetes) and those with high cholesterol, high triglycerides, high blood pressure, fatty liver disease, chronic kidney disease, and celiac disease, learn to eat differently to improve these medical conditions. I also work with people who desire to lose weight. I do not believe in rushing through appointments, trying to see several people in one day. Instead, I focus on completing a thorough assessment to help guide me in developing your meal plan. I also allow adequate time at follow up sessions to help ensure your success.

Dr. Heather Finley is a registered dietitian. She helps people struggling with bloating, constipation, and IBS find relief from their symptoms and feel excited about food again. Heather struggled with her own digestive issues for nearly 20 years and understands first hand the impact that nutrition, lifestyle, and mindset have on digestive health. Gut health shouldn’t be restrictive, stressful, and all-consuming. She developed a simple way that individuals can reduce digestive symptoms and add foods back into their diet.

My ideal client is a busy woman who struggles with low energy, blood sugar fluctuations, weight issues, and hormonal imbalance. I help with sustainable weight loss with a holistic root-cause approach without any crazy diets. I focus on real foods to help heal the body. My goal is to help you move from the fear of limitations of strict diets, frustrations, stress eating, and the stigma around good food to achieving a sense of food freedom, hormone balance, and empowerment to chronic diseases with confidence.

I’d love to speak with you and learn how I can be of help. After near 30-years, I have learned that no two healing journey’s will be the same. My experience is that in order to to truly improve health, we must begin by addressing individual root problems like chronic inflammation, compromised gut health, blood sugar / lipid imbalance, immune imbalance, nutrient deficiencies, adverse food reactions, poor sleep, stress etc. What happens is that we equip our body's natural healing systems. This lends to improvements in conditions like digestive disease, diabetes, fatigue, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis and cancer risk for example.

Do you have a chronic health condition such as IBS, Migraines, Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, eczema, or others? Since 80% of your immune system is in the gut, foods can act as "triggers" causing inflammation, pain, diarrhea and more. Your immune system is as unique as a fingerprint, so there is no one-size-fits all solution. What might give one person a migraine doesn't necessarily give someone else a migraine. I personalize my approach by combining nutrition, laboratory analysis and supplements (if needed). Most importantly I listen. You know your body better than anyone. Together we'll develop an approach that works for you.
