Alberta Scruggs

About Alberta

My name is Alberta Scruggs. I am a licensed and registered dietitian in Ohio. I have the opportunity to travel most of the state, providing nutrition strategies that help manage weight, prediabetes, Type 2 diabetes, and preserve optimal health throughout one’s life cycle. I believe food is to nourish, not debilitate the body! My goal is to help create the same mindset for those I serve. Are you ready to step into the solution, and sidestep the problem? Well, as your co-pilot for health, I can assist!

Approach to care

My approach to care includes personal accountability, personalized meal planning, the concept of intuitive and mindful eating, the discovery of past and present relationship with food; engaging in physical activity (Exercise), understanding the importance of relaxation to counteract stress, and a restful night of quality sleep for homeostasis.

Your first session with Alberta

I believe in providing a patient-centered care experience. In our first session, we will complete a Comprehensive Nutrition Assessment. We will focus on your health goals that incorporate your unique lifestyle. We will discuss current dietary, fitness, relaxation and sleep patterns. We will talk about your medical history and develop a plan that will get you where you want to be. Get ready, get set, let’s go!
