About Caitlin
Caitie Parenti is a Registered Dietitian in Reno, NV. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nutrition from the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) and completed her Dietetic Internship through UNR with rotations at Renown Hospital, W.I.C., UNR Weight Management, and the Nevada Diabetes Association's "Camp Buck"-- where she still occasionally volunteers as Camp Dietitian. Many of Caitie's clients have improved their management of diabetes, heart disease, gastrointestinal dysfunction, autism and picky eating, autoimmune disease, and hormonal dysfunction. In her free time, she enjoys snuggling up with her two cats, Sibella and Miso Soup; her golden retriever, Lily; and her partner, Saxon.
Approach to care
Caitie uses a holistic approach to nutrition education by considering your unique lifestyle, cooking skills, health conditions, stress levels, and readiness to start something new. This allows her to provide tailored nutrition recommendations and assist with goal setting to make sustainable changes that fit your lifestyle. She values the strength of science-backed facts and can help you sort through the confusing information about your health conditions. Caitie believes that YOU are the expert of YOUR life, and if the journey to "your healthiest you" were a road trip, you'd be the driver and she'd guide the way from the passenger seat.
Your first session with Caitlin
Your first appointment will help Caitie better understand your health history including reviewing lab results, medications, and the details about your active health conditions. Caitie will ask about your daily habits with food, stress, sleep, moving your body, and who in your support system can help with any new changes you decide to make. She will diligently address your health questions and streamline the nutrition facts that matter to you. Caitie is excited to discuss any health topic you're curious about-- this is YOUR time! Toward the end of your appointment, you will work on identifying your main nutrition goals by connecting the stepping stones to get you on that path.
