About Leah

Through extensive academic training and hands-on experience as a dietitian, I have developed a deep understanding of how nutrition influences recovery, performance, and overall well-being. I have been a board certified Registered Dietitian Nutritionist for a little over one year now. I earned both my BS in Food, Nutrition, and Dietetics and my MS in Nutrition from Illinois State University, and I currently practice as a RDN/LDN in Charleston, SC. My background spans clinical nutrition, sports nutrition, and community health, and I’m passionate about educating people with practical skills. Outside of work I love cooking, exercising, gardening, interior design, and watching a feel good movie.

Approach to care

Food and health deserve an honest, evidence-based conversation that fits your life. I blend current research with a warm, nonjudgmental attitude so we'll set clear, practical steps you can sustain over time. Working from an overall well being perspective, I focus on behaviors, routines and long-term habits rather than weight. Together we'll consider physical, emotional, and social factors, and I'll explain the why behind recommendations so you can make informed choices that actually stick.

Your first session with Leah

We'll begin by reviewing your medical history and any lab work or biometrics so we have a clear starting point. I'll ask about routines, wins, frustrations, and take a look at your relationship with food. From there we'll establish one or two short-term, realistic goals and I'll help translate them into practical steps you can try. You don't need to have everything figured out, this visit is low-pressure and judgment-free, and we'll move at a pace that works for you.
