About Juanita

Hi, I am Juanita Bryant a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist committed to improving the lives of individuals with health concerns. With over twenty-five years of experience I have continued to expand my knowledge base and experience focusing on diabetes, kidney problems and intestinal concerns. I love the clinical side of nutrition but also incorporate common sense issues such as cost and individual ability. My interest in food starts with gardening, cooking, recipe development, and includes a Certification in Food Preservation (canning, freezing, dehydrating, jams & jellies, and pickling).

Approach to care

I believe that there are no "taboo" foods. All foods fit with moderation and variety. My motto is "How Much, How Often". We have only one life to live and food is an enjoyable part of it. I will work with you to make lifestyle changes without having to give up the things most important to you. Portion control and planning ahead are important and can be incorporated into your daily routine. I provide a non-judgmental, patient-centered approach to help you attain your health goals.
