About Kara
Hello! I am a Registered Dietitian located in Indiana. I became a dietitian because I love food, I love to cook, and I want myself and my family to live our healthiest lives. I have experience in many different areas of nutrition but my expertise lies in Pre-diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension, Heart Health, Weight Management and Chronic Kidney Disease. I would love to work with you to help improve your health!
Approach to care
My approach is very team-centered, you know your self better than anyone else and together we can make a plan to improve your nutrition. I am a laid back person! I do not believe there are any foods that we have to completely eliminate from the diet unless truly medically necessary. I love to help people understand how to eat in moderation and ease up on the food rules that have been engrained in our mind.
Your first session with Kara
We will take time in your first session to get to know each other! I absolutely love talking and especially about food but my hope is that during our first session I will be doing more listening to learn about your history with your health and food. There are so many things that impact the nutrition decisions we make on a daily basis so we will be diving into that!
