About Caryn
I am a registered dietitian nutritionist located in Florida. I have spent most of my dietitian career in the physical rehabilitation hospital setting providing medical nutrition therapy to individuals recovering from strokes, brain injuries, hip fractures, and spinal cord injuries. I have a foundation in education and center that in my nutrition practice. I provide the tools and information needed to make informed choices about personal health.
Approach to care
I became a dietitian to provide culturally competent care to all, but especially my community. African Americans are disproportionally affected by diabetes, high blood pressure, and stroke. I emphasize education and collaborative goal-setting to create sustainable lifestyle changes.
Your first session with Caryn
I want to learn about you, your lifestyle, family, work, eating, and movement habits. I will ask you what you want to get out of working with a dietitian. We will discuss where you feel you are struggling with your health and nutrition. We will create goals and actionable interventions to turn things around.
