About Lynnette

Nutrition grabbed my curiosity and became a career that blends science with everyday life. I have 15 years of experience as a registered dietitian, working that last 3 years as a diabetes educator. My MS in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine guides how I translate research into practical steps. As an RDN and CDCES, I’m passionate about diabetes education and helping people build lasting habits. Outside of work I read, crochet, and bake, which keeps me curious about food and grounded in the simple joys of life.

Approach to care

I view health through a whole-person lens, connecting nutrition with sleep, stress, and daily routines. I help people translate science into doable actions we’ll try together, emphasizing long-term, sustainable habits over quick fixes. My work is judgment-free and weight-neutral, focused on behaviors and wellbeing rather than numbers. I prioritize clear, practical steps and education so you understand the why behind each change and feel confident making choices that fit your life.

Your first session with Lynnette

Expect a calm, low-pressure conversation where we’ll review your medical history and any lab work or biometrics you bring. I’ll answer your questions and help interpret results so they actually inform your plan. Together we’ll identify one or two short-term goals that feel realistic and manageable. You don’t need to have everything figured out ahead of time, we’ll build a personalized path forward step by step and adjust as we learn what works for you.
