Bridgette Hamby

About Bridgette

Nutrition drew me toward a career that blends science with everyday life. I have a BS in human environmental science and eight years working as a registered dietitian nutritionist working at numerous outpatient settings as well as a few years in community health. I am a Navy veteran, and I also went to culinary school. My main 9-5 job is working in an outpatient clinical setting in gastroenterology and liver disease which is my passion. When I’m not working I love hiking, cooking new recipes, reading, yoga, and anything outdoors, and those hobbies keep my counseling grounded, curious, and relatable.

Approach to care

I ground my work in current research while staying deeply human and practical. We'll use evidence-based strategies that align with your life, focusing on sustainable habits instead of quick fixes or weight-centered rules. I practice in a weight-neutral, behavior-focused way and consider the whole person, including mental and lifestyle influences. Together we'll set clear, actionable steps, build skills, and learn why changes work, so you can sustain them long term without shame or pressure.

Your first session with Bridgette

Expect a relaxed, judgment-free conversation where we'll review your medical history and any lab work or biometrics you bring. I want to hear about your daily routines, what’s been working, and where you feel stuck, then we'll choose one or two short-term goals that feel manageable. You don't need to have it all figured out or bring perfect records. We'll move forward together with clear, doable steps and follow-up plans that respect your pace.
