About Elliot

Hello! My name is Elliot and I've been working as a Registered Dietitian since 2017. I began my career working as a clinical dietitian in long-term care and short-term rehabilitation facilities. During this time, I acquired experience working with a large variety of health conditions including diabetes, heart disease, and chronic kidney disease. Two years ago, I shifted my focus to working with individuals who suffer from drug and alcohol addiction. These experiences gave me an appreciation for how profoundly food can influence our health not only in the moment but also how we develop into the later phases of our lives.

Approach to care

My approach to care varies from person to person. We are all unique individuals who have our own distinct needs, preferences, habits, and obstacles. I enjoy the process of getting to know my patients and helping them find actionable steps that fit with their values and current situation. It is my desire to ensure that you feel confident in your understanding of your health, that you feel supported no matter where you begin your nutrition journey, and that we share in the joy that comes from achieving your goals.

Your first session with Elliot

Your first session will include a comprehensive nutrition assessment to get a better understanding of who you are, your current health status, and what you would like to achieve. Information gathered will include your medical history, anthropometric data like your height and weight, activity level, food and nutrition habits, and current level of nutrition-related knowledge. We'll dive into what you've done so far to manage your health and wellness, what's worked for you, and what challenges you've faced. Then we'll use this information to determine what direction you'd like your care to take and work together to find actionable steps that will help us get you there.
