Erica Nehrling

About Erica

After 15 years as a Registered Dietitian, my career has taken me from hospital wards to research labs to collegiate foodservice and food allergy technology and into specialized food allergy and intolerance counseling. I hold an MS in Nutritional Sciences and practice as an RDN and LDN in Atlanta. I’m passionate about helping people with food restrictions and those navigating EDS, MCAS, and POTS. Outside of work you’ll find me cooking, weightlifting, or hunting down the best cup of coffee in the city, always bringing science and practicality to the table.

Approach to care

I ground my work in current research while keeping conversations warm and judgment-free. I use evidence-based strategies to create clear, practical steps we'll try together, focusing on sustainable habits rather than quick fixes. I honor Health At Every Size by staying weight-neutral, and I take a holistic view that considers emotional, physical, and lifestyle factors. Education is central, so you gain tools and understanding to make confident choices, with realistic accountability and gentle course corrections as needed.

Your first session with Erica

Expect a relaxed, collaborative conversation where we'll review your medical history, discuss any food restrictions or symptoms, and identify short-term goals that feel doable. I aim to make this a low-pressure discussion, not an exam, so you don’t need to have everything figured out beforehand. We'll listen to your experiences, troubleshoot immediate barriers, and leave with an evidence-based plan you can try. We will continue to refine it together.
