About Emily

To know more about me or to see some nutrition content you and see my professional instagram @bewellbyemily . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Welcome! I'm Emily Shepherd, a Registered Dietitian based in Central Texas, passionate about helping individuals achieve their health goals through realistic, evidence-based nutrition care. I hold a BS and MS in Nutrition Science from Baylor University and TWU. I currently work at as a full-time Clinical Dietitian with experience in diabetes education, weight management, anti-inflammatory diets, and nutrition support for medications such as Metformin, Ozempic, and Mounjaro. My mission is to create a supportive, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, empowered, and equipped to take charge of your health.

Approach to care

I believe sustainable progress comes from small, intentional steps—not drastic overhauls. That’s why I use the SMART goal framework to help clients make realistic, achievable changes that build confidence and long-term success. Every person’s life is unique, so I tailor strategies to fit your schedule, lifestyle, and goals—whether you're balancing work, family, or personal challenges. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan focused on nutrition, movement, and self-care that feels both practical and meaningful.

Your first session with Emily

In your first nutrition counseling session, you can expect a supportive and judgment-free space focused entirely on you and your goals. We’ll review medical background, food preferences, routines, and any challenges you’ve faced. Instead of a generic meal plan, you'll leave with a personalized, practical strategy—and the reassurance that you have a dedicated partner in your wellness journey.
