Debra Pogodzinski

About Debra

First and foremost I am a mother of 3 beautiful children and retired military spouse. I am also a licensed Registered Dietitian with 2 decades of experience. While I have practiced in several areas of nutrition over my career, I have specialized in the Oncology population over the past 8 years. This has equipped me to best serve those looking to follow a predominantly plant based diet, achieve and maintain a healthy weight, and/or manage their enteral nutrition regimens. Because those with an active cancer diagnosis, or cancer history, often have other chronic illnesses I have continued to refine my skill in various other areas which are included in my list of specialities.

Approach to care

My approach to care is to meet you where you are, and include you in every step along the way. While there is scientific evidence supporting certain methods more than others, that we will be sure to discuss, I believe all of us are individuals and can achieve the results we desire in different ways. Many times you may know what that might be better than me, especially because you are the expert of your own body! I am here to support you, guiding you to reach your goals in a healthy and sustainable way.

Your first session with Debra

Our first session together will be spent getting to know each other. I want to fully understand your history and why you chose to seek out and follow through with nutrition counseling. My goal is to gain your trust and confidence in my abilities to help you achieve desired outcomes. By the end of our session we will have begun to develop an individualized plan to help you reach your health goals. This will start with some short term goals to work on prior to our next session.
