Nicole Coppola

About Nicole

Nutrition has been my compass for the past 25 years, shaping how I connect science with everyday life. I trained with a BS in Nutrition and an MS in Foods and Nutrition, and I practice as an RDN, licensed dietitian, and CDCES. My career has taken me through hospitals, diabetes outpatient clinics, community health programs, and private practice. Outside the office you'll find me dancing jazz or tap, cooking and savoring a good meal, walking with my dog, tasting wine, or practicing Reiki. I enjoy helping people build habits that fit their lives and bring pleasure back to eating.

Approach to care

Evidence guides the recommendations I share, compassion guides how we make change together. I work collaboratively, translating current research into clear, practical steps we can test and adjust, so improvements last. My practice is weight-neutral and behavior-focused, honoring the whole person, not a number on a scale. You'll be supported in a judgment-free space where education and tangible goals meet empathy and sustainability.

Your first session with Nicole

We'll spend the visit getting to know you as an individual, reviewing your medical history and any lab work or biometrics you bring. Together we'll identify one or two short-term goals that feel realistic, so you leave with a clear starting point and a plan you can use. There is no pressure to have everything figured out. My role is to listen, explain the science when helpful, and help you build sustainable steps that fit your life.
