About Arlene

Hi, I’m Arlene Isseks, a registered dietitian with a passion for helping individuals feel their best through food, nutrition, and compassionate care. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and Dietetics, my master’s degree in Human Nutrition, and completed my dietetic internship—all through the University of Delaware. My areas of focus include, general health, gastrointestinal health, disordered eating, and intuitive eating, using a balanced, non-restrictive approach to support sustainable well-being. I’ve worked with individuals of all ages and health backgrounds. I will meet you where you are and act as your supporter by providing individualized nutrition education and judgment-free guidance. My goal is to inspire growth and positive change, while fostering a healthy relationship with food, movement, and total well being.

Approach to care

My approach to care is rooted in the belief that all foods fit and that nutrition should be individualized, inclusive, and sustainable. If you’re ready to learn and make positive changes, I work with you to support your health and help you feel your best. I provide evidence-based nutrition counseling, along with practical educational tools and handouts, to set you up for long-term success. Our work together focuses on the full picture—how you’re feeling, why you may be feeling that way, your symptoms, lab values, and your personal goals, whether related to digestion, heart health, or general wellness. I value mindfulness and stress reduction and take a whole-person approach to care, recognizing the connection between mind, body, and soul.

Your first session with Arlene

In our first session, we will take the time to get to know each other. We will review your health history, lifestyle, nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress. Together, we’ll explore your goals, motivations, symptoms, and any concerns to develop a personalized plan tailored specifically to your needs. In follow-up sessions, we will celebrate your progress and achievements, address any challenges, revisit educational topics as needed, and continue refining goals within the plan we created together. My role is to guide, listen, and support you with compassion every step of the way, helping you move toward your health and wellness goals with confidence.
