Alexis Hargis

About Alexis

I’m a registered dietitian who believes health doesn’t come from extremes; it’s built through simple, consistent habits. I focus on a whole foods approach, encouraging balanced nutrition, daily movement, quality sleep, and meaningful social connection as the foundation for long-term wellness. I work with individuals looking to improve their overall health, manage or prevent diabetes and prediabetes, support heart health, and navigate healthy aging. I also help clients with both weight loss and weight gain in a sustainable, realistic way, without restrictive dieting. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you build habits that fit your life, so you can feel your best and maintain results long term.

Approach to care

I believe everyone deserves a realistic, supportive approach to health. My philosophy centers on progress over perfection and building habits that actually fit into your daily life. Through a focus on whole foods, consistent movement, restorative sleep, and social well-being, I help clients create a strong foundation for long-term health. I provide guidance, accountability, and encouragement, so you feel confident making choices that support your goals, whether that’s improving overall health, managing chronic conditions, or changing weight in a sustainable way. This is not about strict rules; it’s about creating a lifestyle you can maintain and enjoy.
