About Amanda
Hi! I'm Amanda! I'm a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist & Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES). I am located in Northern Michigan and I help people optimize their health and nutrition. A focus of mine is metabolic disease prevention & management including weight management, pre-diabetes & diabetes management, blood pressure and cholesterol management. I am also passionate about women’s health - particularly PCOS and preconception, pregnancy, & postnatal nutrition.
Approach to care
My focus is compassionate nutrition, which means helping you ditch the diet cycling and to learn HOW to eat to nourish your body and reach your health goals. Instead of meal plans & strict food rules, I help you learn optimal meal timing, which foods are best for you as an individual, and how nutrition fits into your day (so that you don't have to schedule your day around your nutrition)!
Your first session with Amanda
During our first session together, we will get to know each other! I will ask you questions about your medical history, labs, and medications. I will then get an idea of your current lifestyle - how/when/what you eat, your sleep habits, stress level, work schedule, exercise routine, and any other pertinent information! Lastly, I want to learn ALL about why you signed up for Nourish and what you hope to gain from working with a Registered Dietitian as well as what your overall health & nutrition goals entail. We will set your long-terms and a short-term goal to get you started for the first week, before the end of our first session!

Hobbies
I am in my kid-raising days! I enjoy spending time with my husband and four children. My children play a lot of sports, so we are often on the go to practices & games. When not at a sport, I like to kayak, run, hike, and cook/bake!
