Amelia Guinn

About Amelia

I help patients navigate weight management and build habits for long-term health. With more than 13 years of experience in evidence-based nutrition care, I’ve supported people through bariatric surgery, general weight-management programs, and GLP-1 journeys. I also work with people who want to improve their overall health for disease prevention or just feel better in day-to-day life. If you’re an active person (or want to become one!) I also have experience in sports nutrition. Whether you’re training for a quick sprint or a month-long backpacking trip, I can help you fuel to optimize your performance, energy, and recovery.

Approach to care

My approach is collaborative. You’re the expert on your own life, and my role is to meet you where you’re at. Change is hard, and you don’t need judgment — you need support, accountability, and practical guidance. We’ll focus on small steps that add up to meaningful improvements in your health. I use motivational interviewing to help patients see their barriers to change and start moving past them. We'll set goals that feel realistic and achievable rather than forcing strategies that don’t fit your lifestyle.

Your first session with Amelia

I like to learn what matters most to each of my patients - your "why". In your first session, we'll talk about what you'd like to achieve along with your challenges, health history, and daily routine. Then we'll pick the best place to start. My goal is for you to leave feeling encouraged and capable — not overwhelmed.
