Andrea Knatz

About Andrea

I changed my major to nutrition while in nursing school under the inspiration of a great professor, and have since enjoyed being a RD for 20 years. I've worked in Endocrinology, Clinical inpatient and outpatient, Corporate health, Administration, and Private practice telehealth. Since my specialty is diabetes and related comorbidities, I found it gratifying to volunteer with CBDCE (the national credentialing board) for 4 years on the Board of Directors and 2 years on the Task force and Exam Committee. I've lived and worked in various areas of the U.S.

Approach to care

I help clients to reach their personal health goals by offering individual jointly created approaches that are doable, effective, and sustainable. I am passionate to help make sense of what may be overwhelming so that motivation can come through recognizing how their efforts make a difference. Since lifestyle changes can reduce health risks and improve quality of life, I try to focus on translating complex nutitional science into practical advice.

Your first session with Andrea

Initial session includes gathering much info to get to know you and what you expect frrom our sessions. It would help tremendously to have any lab values handy that relate to health issues, and what your food preferences and meal habits are. Knowing what you are struggling with the most (it may just be getting on a virtual visit!) will make both of us feel confident to get down to business. Please try to be in a private area free from distraction as possible. I'm looking forward to helping you.
