Ana Schaefer

About Ana

Nutrition has been my life's work for over 2 decades. With an MS in Administration and Leadership and credentials as an RD, LDN, and CSP (pediatric). I draw on experience in private practice the most, but also community health, sports nutrition, and hospital settings. I specialize in supporting women through PCOS, perimenopause, menopause, weight management, and metabolic conditions like diabetes and hypertension. When I am not working, I love gym workouts, nature walks, gardening, and to spend time with my family. I will bring that practical, everyday perspective to care.

Approach to care

Science and compassion guide how I support people, and you will see both in every session. I ground recommendations in current research while honoring the whole person, including mental and emotional health. We’ll work together using clear, actionable steps that build sustainable habits, not restrictive rules. I practice with a weight-neutral lens, focusing on behaviors and metabolic health, and I make sure you understand the why so you can make confident, lasting choices.

Your first session with Ana

We will begin by reviewing your medical history, main reason for the appointment, and any lab work or biometrics you have. I’ll take a deep dive into your relationship with food, routines, and past attempts so we can understand what’s worked and what hasn’t. Together we’ll set short-term, realistic goals and outline practical steps you can try right away. This is a judgment-free conversation, so you don’t need to have it all figured out before we meet.
