About Garrett

Nutrition has always felt like both a science and a craft to me. With an MPH in Nutrition from the University of Minnesota and graduate coursework in exercise physiology at the University of Iowa, I bring research training into practical care. In my first year as a Registered Dietitian I am working on integrating my experience across research and academia, clinical and hospital settings, sports nutrition, and community health. I’m based in Chicago, and when I’m not working I love cooking, playing music, and testing my trivia skills. I aim to give you the tools to reach your goals while meeting you where you are.

Approach to care

Evidence matters, but so does how recommendations fit into your life. I’m committed to grounding my guidance in current research while offering clear, practical steps we can try together. Conversations are warm, judgment-free, and focused on behavior rather than a number on the scale. We’ll consider the whole person, including stress, sleep, and movement, and I’ll teach you the why behind each strategy so small sustainable changes add up to real long-term results.

Your first session with Garrett

Expect a relaxed, collaborative visit where we’ll review your medical history and take a deep look at your relationship with food. You don’t need to have answers or a perfect food log, my role is to guide you through what matters most. We’ll talk about what’s worked, where you feel stuck, and set one or two short-term goals that feel realistic. By the end you’ll leave with practical next steps and the tools to begin steady, sustainable progress.
