Sengrid Ergle

About Sengrid

After 26 years as a registered dietitian I bring a blend of clinical, community, and a specialty in chronic disease management to every patient encounter. I earned my BS in Food and Nutrition from the University of Alabama in 1999, and practice as an RDN and LDN. My work has included hospitals, long-term care facilities, community health, mental health, diabetes care, weight management, and menu and recipe development. Living with a chronic illness myself motivates my empathetic, practical focus. When I’m not working I love cooking, reading, painting, cross stitching and embroidery, traveling, and singing worship music.

Approach to care

I ground recommendations in current research while meeting you where you are, honoring the whole person—mental, emotional, and physical. We’ll work from a weight-neutral, Health At Every Size perspective, focusing on behaviors and sustainable habits rather than quick fixes. Together we'll set clear, practical steps and build skills so changes last. My style is warm and nonjudgmental, educational and direct, so you leave sessions with understandable rationale and doable actions that fit your life.

Your first session with Sengrid

In the initial visit we'll review your medical history and any lab work or biometrics, and take a deeper look at your relationship with food. This conversation is judgment-free, low pressure, and collaborative, so you don’t need to have everything figured out. Together we’ll identify a couple of short-term, realistic goals and a clear plan to try. My aim is to support and empower you with education and practical steps that feel manageable and lasting.
