Alissa Heath

About Alissa

Hi, I'm Alissa, a Registered Dietitian based in Easley, South Carolina. I have five years of experience guiding patients through clinical and hospital settings, sports nutrition, and outpatient care. I earned my MS and LD alongside my RD credential, with education from Auburn University and FranU for my master's. My background also includes almost four years in pediatrics within an ICU, and today I teach part-time in sports nutrition while continuing to work in outpatient surgery. When I'm not helping clients, you might find me baking, cooking, or running. I could also be at Disney World or watching hockey, go Lightning!!

Approach to care

I practice an evidence-based, science-focused approach while staying deeply empathetic and warm. We’ll work together to translate the latest research into practical, everyday habits that fit your life. I favor a direct, action-oriented plan with clear steps and accountability. My philosophy embraces Health At Every Size, focusing on behaviors and well-being rather than weight alone, and it considers you as a whole person: mental, emotional, physical, and social. Education is central, empowering you to make informed choices that last.

Your first session with Alissa

Our first appointment is all about you. We'll review your medical history, talk through your current eating patterns, preferences, and goals, and establish short-term goals that feel doable. We'll discuss what has and hasn't worked in the past, all in a judgment-free, low-pressure space. Together we'll map out a practical plan and make food fun again, with small, sustainable changes you can maintain. You don't need to have it all figured out; I’m here to listen, guide, and support you.
