About Justin

After 20 years as a Registered Dietitian, I still get energized by helping people build realistic, lasting habits. My MS in Dietetics and Nutrition from Florida International University, roles in private practice, corporate wellness, research, and sports nutrition, my work as an RD and LDN, plus CDCES training, shape how I practice. I combine science with a practical, direct style and a focus on balance. Outside of work I recharge hiking, mountain biking, and spending time with my family, so I try to practice what I preach.

Approach to care

Science guides the recommendations I offer, but your life directs how we use them. I ground care in current evidence while staying warm and nonjudgmental, so we can focus on sustainable habits rather than quick fixes. I give clear, actionable steps and hold us both accountable in a supportive way. I work from a weight-neutral, whole-person lens, addressing movement, sleep, stress, and behavior. Education is central, so you'll understand not just what to do, but why it matters for long-term success.

Your first session with Justin

When we meet, I'll review your medical history and learn about the day-to-day context of your eating and activity so we can make safe, realistic plans together. We'll talk through your goals and expectations and I'll share my nutrition philosophy. Together we'll establish short-term, achievable steps that fit your life. This is low-pressure and judgment-free, you don't need to have everything figured out, and we'll adjust the plan as we go.
