Bariatric Support Nutritionists and Dietitians in North Carolina

Are you tired of hearing about new diets and ways to eat (or not eat) everywhere you look? What if I told you diets don't work? What if I told you food is fuel? I believe nutritional counseling could give you the tools you need to eat for health, energy, wellness, and joy. By working with me, I'll help you discover how to incorporate a variety of wholesome foods in moderation, learn to rely on internal cues of hunger and fullness, and learn to eat nutritious meals while also enjoying them. If you've recently been diagnosed with a medical concern that relates to nutrition, I'll work with you to find just what you need to be healthy.
