Bethany Blair

About Bethany

Dietitian with specialization in chronic kidney disease, end stage renal disease, and kidney transplant. I also have experience in celiac disease and gluten free diets. I believe in empathy-based nutrition care, devising practical solutions that work for each individual person based on their needs. Feedback from a patient: “When I first met Bethany, I knew nothing about cooking and nutrition, I’ve been working with her for several months and my growth has been impressive. Bethany is amazing at what she does, she really listens to me, understands my needs and really takes her time teaching you about nutrition and your diet. It’s crazy to think a few months I knew nothing about this, or was unable to cook anything, and now I have the best meals of my life with her, and my relationship with food has never been better. Thanks to her, as a renal patient, I’ve been able to stay healthy and strong, I am very lucky to have found her.”

Approach to care

Compassionate and comprehensive care. Collaborate with patients to address each individual's specific needs and requirements. Feedback from patients: "This week I had 3 new meals and they have been the best ones yet! Homemade pizza from scratch, breaded tilapia, [and] fajitas!! Crazy to think 2 months ago, I was barely able to cook an egg. I think meal prep is going well!" "Really like sharing ideas of stress reducers on top of meal suggestions." "I honestly feel so overwhelmed at how you have been so kind, patient, and motivated in helping me. I know you have already spent hours even behind the scenes after our appointments doing all you can to give me practical help. It is like Christmas when I get these summaries and all the goodies that come with them. I’m so excited to use this meal plan and the guides you’ve sent as well are SO helpful. I have a binder with all your handouts all organized and ready to use :) Incredibly grateful for you."

Your first session with Bethany

Your first session will be a relaxed meet and greet format between your dietitian and yourself. You set the pace and I will provide an open format and a listening ear so I can learn from you what your concerns are. From there, we will work together to develop practical steps and solutions specifically tailored for you that you feel are doable and achievable.
