About Destiny

Hi! I’m Destiny Johnson, MS, RDN, a Registered Dietitian dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based nutrition care that supports every individual’s unique journey toward health and well-being. I bring a diverse background in clinical, outpatient, and community nutrition, with a passion for improving patient outcomes through culturally competent care, motivational interviewing, and education. My approach centers on empowering patients to take control of their health through sustainable, enjoyable, and personalized nutrition strategies. I believe food is more than fuel—it’s a connection to culture, community, and healing. Whether working with individuals managing chronic conditions or supporting those on a path to rediscover a positive relationship with food, my mission is to nourish the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.

Approach to care

My care philosophy combines medical nutrition therapy with a holistic and culturally sensitive perspective. I integrate the science of nutrition with empathy and understanding, creating a supportive environment where clients feel heard and valued. Using motivational interviewing and behavioral counseling techniques, I help clients identify meaningful, achievable goals and develop the skills to sustain lifelong health changes. I also recognize that social, cultural, and economic factors profoundly influence health—so I advocate for equitable access to nutritious food and connect individuals with community resources whenever possible. In every setting—whether bedside, in a telehealth session, or in the classroom—I strive to make nutrition approachable, inclusive, and empowering.

Your first session with Destiny

Your first nutrition session is all about you—your goals, your story, and your health journey. My goal is to create a comfortable, judgment-free space where we can explore your unique needs and begin building a personalized plan that truly works for your lifestyle. We will discuss your health goals, review medical information, create an action plan, and create a follow-up schedule.
