Joanna Rosebush

About Joanna

Nutrition has been my compass for most of my adult life. For 25 years I have practiced across hospitals, corporate wellness programs, research and private practice, bringing scientific training into everyday choices. As a Registered Dietitian with an MS and a PhD in Food and Nutrition Sciences, I blend clinical rigor with practical solutions. Based in Orono, Maine, I recharge by skiing and with weight training or HiiT workouts, which keeps my approach active and realistic for busy lives.

Approach to care

I ground recommendations in current evidence while staying warm and judgment-free. We will translate research into clear, doable steps, focusing on sustainable habits rather than short-term fixes. My care is weight-neutral and behavior-focused, attentive to the whole person including sleep, stress, and activity. I balance direct, action-oriented guidance with empathetic listening, and I prioritize education so you have the knowledge and skills to make lasting change together.

Your first session with Joanna

Our first visit is a relaxed, collaborative conversation where we review your medical history and the concerns that brought you in. We'll establish one or two short-term goals together and begin building a meal plan that fits your routines, not the other way around. You do not need to have everything figured out before you arrive. We'll leave with practical, manageable steps and a plan to adjust as we learn what works best for you.
