Iris Gronau

About Iris

Hello, my name is Iris. I am a Registered Dietitian with 13 years of experience and a strong passion for my profession. Based in Michigan, I enjoy working with patients to help them understand how to fuel their bodies and foster a healthy relationship with food. My expertise includes nutrition for infants, toddlers, pregnant individuals, and the elderly. Additionally, I have extensive experience in managing prediabetes, diabetes, and weight management programs across all age groups, including during pregnancy. I am also a proud mother of three.

Approach to care

I am driven by a strong passion for helping others and empowering my patients to take charge of their nutritional journeys. I employ a non-judgmental, empathetic, and encouraging approach to nutritional education. Understanding that change can be challenging, I focus on setting small, realistic goals to facilitate success. My ultimate aim is to support my patients in making lasting changes through balanced nourishment.

Your first session with Iris

I will facilitate a warm, friendly, welcoming environment. I will explore your relationship with food, health history, nutrition knowledge and discuss what brings you to our session and what goals you would like to achieve. Together we can set short term, realistic goals and make a plan of action. We will also schedule follow up appointments to support you and help you stay on track. I'm so excited for your journey!
