About Carah (Lexi)

Hi, I’m Lexi. I am a registered dietitian passionate about helping people create a healthy, balanced relationship with food and their bodies. My approach is weight-neutral and focuses on overall wellbeing rather than quick fixes or unrealistic expectations. I believe that health is about so much more than a number on the scale, and I’m here to guide you toward feeling your best physically, mentally, and emotionally. Whether you’re looking for support with sustainable weight management, healthy aging, meal planning, or staying accountable to your goals, I will meet you where you are and help you take realistic, achievable steps forward. Together, we will create a plan that fits your lifestyle, respects your preferences, and supports your long-term health. I am here to empower you with the tools, knowledge, and encouragement you need to make lasting changes without guilt, restriction, or confusion.

Approach to care

I believe nutrition is most effective when it is personalized, compassionate, and empowering. My approach combines three key elements: Education – I provide clear, practical nutrition guidance tailored to your needs, lifestyle, and preferences. I’ll help you understand the “why” behind each recommendation so you feel confident making food and health choices long after our sessions. Encouragement – I celebrate every step forward, no matter how small. Progress takes time, and I’m here to keep you motivated, focused, and supported as you work toward your goals. Empathy – I understand that your relationship with food is personal and unique. I create a safe, judgment-free space where you can share openly, explore challenges, and feel truly heard. Through this blend of education, encouragement, and empathy, my goal is to help you build lasting habits that enhance your overall wellbeing and make healthy living feel natural and achievable.

Your first session with Carah (Lexi)

In our first session we will begin by discussing your overall health and nutrition goals so I can understand what matters most to you. I will ask about any limiting factors you may be facing, such as time constraints, stress, health conditions, or lifestyle habits, so we can address them together. We will complete a diet recall, where you share what a typical day of eating and drinking looks like for you. This helps me identify patterns, strengths, and areas where small changes could make a meaningful difference. Before we finish, we will outline a few initial steps that are realistic and achievable for you to start moving toward your goals right away. You will leave the session with a clear plan, practical strategies, and the confidence in your ability to move toward your health and nutrition goals.
