April Melancon

About April

I am a Registered Dietitian, Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist, and Certified Personal Trainer through ACSM based in South Louisiana. I have been an outpatient dietitian for 10 years and helped a large variety of people to work towards their goals. My concentrations have been diabetes, prenatal health and gestational diabetes, cardiovascular health, weight loss, and general wellness. Nutrition is never one size fits all, and together we will discuss which lifestyle and nutrition changes will work best for you.

Approach to care

My approach is to help you learn what healthy changes will most benefit you. I take a very personalized path in helping to meet you where you at, at every point in your journey. We will work on changing old habits into new habits that will help you to achieve your goals efficiently and effectively. I am here to support you every step of the way.

Your first session with April

Our first session will be about getting to know you. We will review your medical history, lifestyle habits, diet and nutrition history, and your current diet habits. Most importantly, we will discuss what goals you have for yourself and start to create a personalized plan to help you reach them.
