About John

Hi, I'm John (or Jack)! I practice in Columbus, Ohio, and I bring experience as a Registered Dietitian across clinical settings, private practice, community health, and school foodservice. I earned my MS in Dietetics and Nutrition from The Ohio State University, and I weave evidence-based care into every plan. When I’m not talking nutrition, you’ll find me lifting weights, sewing, or cooking something new. I’m grateful to help people develop sustainable habits that fit real life and support their goals.

Approach to care

My care philosophy blends science and empathy. I’ll share current research in a practical way, and together we’ll turn that knowledge into doable steps you can actually follow. We’ll work in a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and supported. I practice from a Health At Every Size perspective, focusing on sustainable behaviors rather than restrictive dieting. I consider the whole person—body, mind, routines, and environment—so we can build a holistic plan that fits your life and goals.

Your first session with John

Our first appointment is all about you. We'll review your medical history, talk through your goals and daily routines, and set short-term objectives in a low-pressure, collaborative way. You don’t need to have everything figured out yet; this visit is about laying a foundation and identifying practical next steps. We’ll explore what has helped you before, what hasn’t, and how we can tailor strategies to fit your life. You’ll leave with clarity, reassurance, and a realistic plan to start with.
