About Ilexis

Hi, I'm Ilexis or Lexi, a Registered Dietitian with 4 years of experience helping people build healthier relationships with food. I earned my MS in Nutrition Science from Florida State University and have worked across clinical settings, community health, and diabetes clinics. I’m credentialed as a CDCES and practice as an RDN, bringing science together with compassion. In my spare time I love painting, dancing, and being outdoors. I believe in meeting you where you are and turning research into practical steps you can fit into daily life. I value curiosity, warmth, and steady progress.

Approach to care

My care is built on partnership, evidence, and sustainable habits. I use current science to guide our plan while staying focused on you as a person. We’ll explore your values, routines and daily realities with empathy, and I’ll offer clear, actionable steps you can actually follow. I embrace a weight-neutral, HAES-informed approach and aim for long-term change over quick fixes. Our work is holistic, honoring sleep, stress, movement, and food as parts of a healthy life, in a space that feels educational, warm, and nonjudgmental.

Your first session with Ilexis

Our first appointment is all about you. We’ll review your medical history, talk through your daily routines and how you relate to food, and set short-term goals that fit your life. We’ll look at any lab work or biometrics you’ve had and discuss what matters most to you. You don’t need to have it all figured out yet; this is a collaborative, low-pressure conversation designed to reduce anxiety and build a clear next step you can start today.
