Valerie Rogers

About Valerie

A love of cooking, especially baking, steered me to study dietetics at the University of Central Missouri and into a career that now spans 20 years. I trained and practiced in clinical hospital settings and in corporate wellness, and I bring that blend to patient care as a registered dietitian nutritionist, RDN and LDN. At home you'll find me reading to relax, gardening, taking walks, watching sporting events with my family, or chasing summer days at the beach. I enjoy helping people reach their goals and working toward a healthier them.

Approach to care

Science informs every recommendation I make, but compassion shapes how we use that evidence. We'll work together in a judgment-free space, focusing on sustainable habits rather than quick fixes or weight-centered goals. I aim to give clear, action-oriented steps you can actually use, while teaching the why behind them so you can make informed choices. We consider the whole person, mental and emotional health included, to support long-term, realistic change.

Your first session with Valerie

Plan on a relaxed, conversational visit where we'll review your medical history and take a thoughtful look at your relationship with food. There's no pressure to have everything figured out, this is a chance for us to get to know each other, discuss wins and frustrations, and identify priorities. We'll finish with a couple of manageable, personalized steps so you leave feeling supported and ready to move forward together.
