About Amanda

Amanda is a licensed clinical dietitian with a special interest in disease prevention, GI health, and weight management, and a passion to help patients develop a positive relationship with food. Amanda’s clinical skills come from 10+ years of experience working both in the hospital setting and outpatient clinical setting. Primary skills include developing nutrition care/meal plans, interpreting nutrition-related lab values and addressing abnormal findings, collaborating closely with the interdisciplinary team, and staying up-to-date on current nutrition research.

Approach to care
