Chelsea Yuncker

About Chelsea

I have been a Registered Dietitian since 2011 with the awe of how nutrients allow the entire body to function at its fullest potential. I worked extensively as a Director of Nutrition Services gaining various experience from creating overall care plans, tube feeding management, wound care, hospice, food safety, and menu budgeting. Recently, I have exclusively worked with clients trying to lose weight with the help of GLP-1s (semaglutide and tirzepatide). This experience has been very beneficial to creating specific creative achievable stepping-stone goals to help achieve effective weight loss and sustain overall lifestyle changes.

Approach to care

My approach is all about achieving your goals. I believe in creating a safe, inclusive, and non-judgmental space where your goals, preferences, and challenges are front and center. Together, we’ll navigate the science of nutrition in a clear, practical, and achievable way. Expect a mix of motivational interviewing, creative problem-solving, and personalized strategies tailored to your health and wellness journey.
