About Josh

Nearly 10 years helping adults navigate weight management, metabolic health, and chronic disease — across hospital, outpatient, and telehealth settings. I trained at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (BS and MS) and completed my dietetic internship at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. That clinical foundation means I understand the medical side of weight and health, not just the food side.

Approach to care

Most of my clients have tried diets before. What I offer instead is a personalized, evidence-based approach built around your actual life — your schedule, your preferences, your health history. I use motivational interviewing and behavior-change strategies because sustainable weight loss comes from habits that fit, not from willpower alone. My style is direct and practical, but always collaborative. We'll work toward goals that are meaningful to you, not just numbers on a scale.

Your first session with Josh

We'll start by getting the full picture — your health history, any labs or biometrics you have, what you've tried before, and what's gotten in the way. From there we'll identify two or three realistic, high-impact changes you can start immediately. You'll leave with a clear plan and a next step, not a homework list. Most clients tell me the first session feels less like an appointment and more like finally having someone in their corner.
