About Amanda

Having trouble incorporating healthy foods into your day? Can't remember the last time you ate a piece of fruit? Let's work together to find clever ways to add more plant foods into your diet, in a way that works best for you. As a registered dietitian trained at top academic medical centers including Weill Cornell, Columbia University, and now working at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, I use evidence-based nutrition to enhance your diet, rather than restrict it.

Approach to care

I center care on real life, current science, and kindness. Nutrition should be evidence-based and practical, delivered in a warm, nonjudgmental space where we make clear, actionable steps together. I take a weight-neutral approach, looking at the whole person — mental, physical, and social factors — and I teach the how and why behind recommendations so you leave each visit more confident. Sustainable habits that fit your life matter more than quick fixes.

Your first session with Amanda

We’ll have a relaxed, thorough conversation to get the full picture — your medical history, any lab work or biometrics, current routines, and what brought you here. Together we’ll create a realistic meal plan, set short-term goals, and I’ll answer questions about common nutrition trends so you can make informed choices. You don’t need to have everything figured out; this is a low-pressure, judgment-free appointment where we build the next practical steps together.
