Carly Arnold

About Carly

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Nutritional Sciences and my Master’s degree in Dietetics and Nutrition from The Ohio State University, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based nutrition care. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with individuals across all ages with complex medical needs—from infants to older adults—addressing a wide range of concerns including growth issues, weight management, and overall nutrition optimization. I’m passionate about helping each person find realistic, personalized, and sustainable strategies to improve their health and quality of life.

Approach to care

My approach is centered around creating a supportive and individualized experience for each person I work with. I believe in setting realistic, sustainable goals that fit your unique lifestyle, rather than promoting restrictive diets or one-size-fits-all solutions. My approach is grounded in evidence-based nutrition practices, meaning the recommendations I provide are backed by the latest scientific research and tailored to your specific needs. I focus on overall health and well-being, helping you build habits that not only improve your physical health but also support your mental and emotional wellness. Above all, I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, motivated, and empowered to take charge of your health.

Your first session with Carly

When you meet with me, you can expect a welcoming and judgment-free space where your goals, challenges, and experiences are heard and respected. In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other, set clear expectations, and begin building a plan that feels realistic and personalized to you. My approach focuses on achievable goals and long-term wellness, so you’ll leave feeling empowered, supported, and motivated to prioritize your health and well-being. This is your time, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Hobbies

I love new experiences—whether that’s exploring a new destination, tasting street food I can’t pronounce (but will absolutely love), or lacing up for a day of roller skating. I thrive on connection, so spending time with friends out on an adventure or just laughing over coffee is something I never take for granted. Life’s too short not to explore, taste, and enjoy every moment.
