Weight Management
Our program supports individuals across the weight spectrum—whether you aim to gain, lose, or maintain weight—by addressing your unique metabolic needs, lifestyle, and health challenges. With a focus on sustainable habits, we’ll guide you in choosing the right foods, creating meal solutions that fit your life, and staying motivated on your journey. Achieving a balanced weight is essential not only for how you feel but also for preventing and managing chronic conditions, laying the foundation for lasting wellness.
We support:
- High Body Weight
- Post-Surgical Weight Management Support
- Low Body Weight and Malnutrition
Type 1 Diabetes (T1D)
We create personalized meal plans for individuals with T1D, aligning carbohydrate (CHO) intake with daily routines and preferences. Consistent CHO management is essential for maintaining stable blood glucose levels; it improves both post-meal control and long-term glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Beyond meal planning, we provide tailored education to ensure patients understand various strategies—nutritional and non-nutritional—for effective blood sugar management. We also help identify the most practical CHO counting tools to fit each patient’s needs and lifestyle.

Type 2 Diabetes (T2D)
Proper nutrition is a key component of managing T2D, with dietary changes playing a powerful role in controlling blood sugar. Research shows MNT can lower A1C levels by about 2% in newly diagnosed individuals and by 1% in those living with the condition for an average of years.
Since carbohydrates have the greatest impact on blood sugar, learning how to manage them is essential. We provide practical tools to help you choose the right carbohydrates, determine how much to eat, and pair them with other foods for balanced meals. Our goal is to make it easier for you to enjoy a variety of foods while maintaining better blood sugar control and improving your overall well-being.

Prediabetes
MNT for prediabetes is essential in preventing the progression to T2D. Early treatment and moderate lifestyle changes can return blood glucose (blood sugar) levels to a normal range.
Our aim is to offer a tailored approach that enhances blood sugar management and insulin sensitivity while also delivering ongoing support for adopting sustainable lifestyle changes. This personalized strategy is designed to empower you in making lasting health improvements.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
PCOS is a common condition, impacting 1 in 10 women of reproductive age and contributes to fertility challenges and long-term health risks. By the time they reach 40, over half of women with PCOS will develop glucose intolerance, including prediabetes or diabetes, emphasizing the need for proactive health management.
Dietary and lifestyle modifications are key for effectively managing PCOS. Nutrition interventions can help restore menstrual regularity, balance hormone levels, regulate blood sugar, and support a healthy weight, minimizing long-term health complications.
Our aim is to offer a tailored approach that enhances blood sugar management and insulin sensitivity. Additionally, we provide ongoing support to help you adopt sustainable lifestyle changes. This personalized strategy is designed to empower you in making lasting health improvements.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
According to the CDC, 1 in 7 U.S. adults—approximately 35.5 million people—have CKD, yet up to 90% of these individuals are unaware of their condition.
Nutrition plays a critical role in maintaining kidney health by preserving function and managing complications associated with decreased kidney performance. Our comprehensive dietary strategy emphasizes the consumption of plant-based and whole foods while focusing on nutrient balance and protein adjustments.
The approach we offer supports kidney health and also slows disease progression and enhances overall well-being by reducing metabolic stress and inflammation.

Heart & Cardiovascular Health
In the United States, heart disease is the leading cause of death for men, women, and ethnic groups. A heart-healthy food plan plays a role in preventing and managing cardiovascular conditions.
At our practice, we are dedicated to staying informed in the latest scientific nutrition findings to provide accurate and effective heart health recommendations. We’ll discuss the impacts of fats, fiber, carbohydrates, processed foods, and alcohol have on the cardiovascular system. Together, we’ll create a tailored nutrition plan that emphasizes the essentials of a heart-healthy way of eating that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.

Elevated Cholesterol
According to the CDC, approximately 40% of adults in the United States have high cholesterol levels. This condition is associated with an increased risk of serious health issues, including heart disease and stroke, which are among the leading causes of death in the country.
Randomized controlled studies have shown MNT effectively reduces high blood cholesterol levels through specific dietary changes. We can collaborate and create a food plan that emphasizes fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, which are known to decrease cholesterol. This approach can lower LDL cholesterol and help lower the risk of heart disease.

Digestive Health
Whether you’re managing Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chronic constipation, GERD, diverticulosis, food allergies or sensitivities, or other digestive challenges, we provide personalized nutrition plans tailored to your unique needs. Proper nutrition plays a critical role in easing symptoms, preventing complications, and improving overall digestive health.
A balanced diet is essential not only for supporting digestion but also for maintaining energy levels, boosting immune function, and minimizing the risk of micronutrient deficiencies and malnutrition. By focusing on your specific GI condition, we can create tailored dietary strategies that promote long-term health improvements and enhance overall well-being.
Food Allergies
When someone has a food allergy, their immune system reacts incorrectly to certain foods, sometimes causing severe allergic reactions. An allergic reaction occurs when someone’s immune system reacts too much to specific foods, leading to various symptoms. The nine leading causes of food allergies identified in the U.S., according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, include eggs, milk, peanuts, fish, shellfish, sesame, soy, tree nuts, and wheat. Food allergies affect 8% of children and 11% of adults in the United States.
