Jelena Etemovic

About Jelena

I’m a registered dietitian with a master’s degree in nutritional science, advanced board certification in obesity and weight management (CSOWM), and years of experience as a clinical dietitian treating chronic conditions. I also serve as a university professor of food science, which allows me to bring a strong foundation in nutrition education to my work with clients.

Approach to care

My approach is empathetic, nonjudgmental, and rooted in evidence-based research. I take time to truly listen so my clients feel heard and supported. Together, we create step-by-step plans to make change feel manageable -overcoming one hurdle at a time without overwhelm. As both a clinician and a university professor of food science, I prioritize education, because I believe that understanding your health is key to achieving lasting, sustainable results.

Your first session with Jelena

In our first session, we’ll take a deep dive into your health history, current lifestyle, and any challenges you’re facing. This comprehensive assessment helps me understand the full picture so we can create a plan that truly fits you. Together, we’ll clarify your goals and identify practical, meaningful steps you can take right away. You’ll leave our session with a clear direction, personalized recommendations, and the support you need to start making progress with confidence.
