DeAnna Dahlem

About DeAnna

Nutrition has been the focus of my life for 20 years, shaped by a BS and MS in Nutrition with a minor in Kinesiology from Mississippi State University. My clinical work in hospitals, time in private practice, and experience in the insulin pump industry give me a practical view of both acute care and everyday life. As an RD and LD with CDCES and BC-ADM credentials, I bring evidence-informed care to patients in Tampa, Florida. Outside the clinic you'll usually find me running or hiking, taking photographs, or playing with my dog.

Approach to care

Science guides my recommendations, and your life guides the plan. I use evidence-based protocols while honoring a weight-neutral, health at every size perspective, so we focus on behaviors that support wellbeing rather than strict rules. I aim to be warm and nonjudgmental, and also direct and action-oriented so we leave each visit with clear, realistic steps. Together we'll consider the whole person, including sleep, movement, stress, and food culture, and build sustainable habits through education and steady progress.

Your first session with DeAnna

Expect a relaxed, collaborative conversation where we get to know your story and priorities. We'll review your medical history and any lab work or biometrics, talk about your relationship with food, and establish a couple of short-term, achievable goals. You do not need to have everything figured out or bring perfect records. We'll focus on clear, manageable steps that fit your life, so you leave feeling supported, informed, and ready to move forward together.
