Nicole Drepaniotis

About Nicole

After 25 years as a Registered Dietitian, my career has moved between hospital wards and private practice, which taught me how to translate clinical evidence into real-life plans. I trained with a BS in Nutrition from The University of Texas at Austin, an MS in Human Nutrition from Columbia's College of Physicians and Surgeons, and an MBA from LSU Shreveport. As an RDN and CDN I draw on that training to blend science with practical solutions. Away from work I'm a movie buff and exercise enthusiast, so I understand the value of routines that are enjoyable and sustainable.

Approach to care

I ground recommendations in current research while meeting you where you are, without judgment. We'll focus on sustainable habits and clear, actionable steps rather than quick fixes or strict rules. My work is weight-neutral and behavior-focused, honoring a health-at-every-size perspective while addressing the whole person, including emotional and lifestyle factors. I aim to teach skills and build your confidence, so together we create a practical plan you can maintain long term.

Your first session with Nicole

Expect a relaxed, thorough first visit where I will review your medical history and any lab work or biometrics you bring. We'll take a deep dive into your relationship with food, explore what has or hasn't worked, and establish short-term goals that feel doable. We'll also create a practical meal plan to try right away. You don't need perfect answers before we meet. We'll prioritize what matters most to you and leave with a clear, manageable set of next steps.
