About Alexis

Hi! I'm Alexis, and I'm so glad you're here! With several years of experience as a registered dietitian, I've had the opportunity to work with high-acuity patients in clinical settings and provide specialized nutrition support to some of the most elite athletes in the country. This diverse experience allows me to craft personalized, evidence-based nutrition plans that address a wide range of health concerns, from medical conditions to performance optimization. Additionally, my background as a food scientist in the food industry enables me to bridge the gap between food manufacturing and nutrition, giving me a unique, in-depth perspective on the relationship between food and health. I’m passionate about using science-backed solutions to help others make lasting, meaningful changes for their health and well-being.

Approach to care

My approach to care is personalized and evidence-based, focusing on each individual's unique needs and goals. Whether managing health conditions or optimizing athletic performance, I create tailored nutrition plans that are both practical and sustainable. I believe in building strong, supportive relationships with my clients, empowering them with the tools and knowledge to make lasting changes. With my experience in clinical nutrition and the food industry, I offer a well-rounded perspective on the connection between food, health, and lifestyle.

Your first session with Alexis

In our first session, we'll start by discussing your health history, goals, and any challenges you're facing. I’ll take the time to understand your lifestyle, dietary preferences, and any specific concerns you may have. From there, we'll work together to create a personalized nutrition plan that aligns with your goals and fits your routine. You’ll leave with actionable steps and a clear understanding of how we’ll proceed in future sessions to help you achieve long-term success.
