About Alexis

Hi, my name is Alexis, and I have been a dietitian for 5 years. I obtained my bachelors and masters degree from Ball State University. I have a diverse clinical background which has given me knowledge and insight into helping those manage chronic disease (such as heart disease, kidney disease, and diabetes) and general health from a nutrition perspective. I also have counseling experience working in a cancer clinic, helping those who are undergoing cancer treatment (whether that is surgical, chemoradiation, immunotherapy or survivorship). At the hospital and cancer clinic, I regularly work with those on home tube feeds, helping manage intolerance related issues.

Approach to care

I take an evidence-based approach to care. I am passionate about providing accurate and factual information to best empower my patients to make informed choices about their diet and health. I also like to take into consideration one's preferences and lifestyle to best meet their needs. No matter the nutrition related concern at hand, I also find it important to strive to develop a healthy relationship with food. Food provides fuel, and specific dietary changes can certainly improve health outcomes, however, I want my patients to find joy in eating too.

Your first session with Alexis

I like to get a strong understanding of one's nutrition related goals and ask what they are hoping to gain from the appointment. I like to ask about typical eating habits and routines. I may ask for a 24 hour dietary recall as well. I will also make sure I have a good understanding of one's past medical history to ensure I take everything into consideration. I will then work with someone to provide the appropriate education and goals to meet their nutritional needs that will also fit into their lifestyle. I always encourage an engaging, back and forth conversation and questions at any time!
