About Dillan

Hi! I am Dillan, a Registered Dietitian based in Tennessee with professional experience primarily in Sports/Performance Dietetics, with additional clinical experience across various disease states and conditions. I am passionate about marrying the "why" and the "how" to best educate my clients to become self-sufficient in improving their health. Nutrition is my passion not only because eating is something we do every day, but because culture permeates the medium of food, and a nice meal is the centerpiece of a strong community. Focusing on improving nutrition to prevent diseases rather than pouring money out to buy expensive medicines to control and fix diseases is an amazing life skill that I am excited to share with my clients.

Approach to care

I love to hear from you and figure out where you are with your nutrition knowledge, goals, and mindset. From there, educating and guiding about how to best do that, but also why it works, makes the biggest impact. I am very logically-wired, so I try to let the "why" speak to support the "how."

Your first session with Dillan

Expect me to be listening a lot so that I can gauge where you are at and better tailor your care to you! I, of course, am willing to answer any questions, but as a lifelong student, I might not be able to answer it all on the first meeting, but I am committed to learning more to help myself and my clients better!
