Latasha Minor

About Latasha

I am a Registered Dietitian that focuses on medical nutrition therapy from pediatrics to the geriatric population. I’ve worked with women and children in acute care settings and hospitals, geriatric population with a broad range of co-morbidities in long-term care and kidney disease in the dialysis clinic along with nephrologist private practices. This broad patient base has allowed me to strengthen my skills as a practitioner in assessing, evaluating, educating, and motivating patients.

Approach to care

I have a patient centered approach to care. A patient centered approach places the patients needs, concerns and desires as the priority. It is imperative not only to provide education and a plan for the patient but also necessary to consider the patients culture and life challenges. I believe in order to have long term effectiveness you must meet people where they are and cultivate goals and a life plan that is sustainable for each client individually. One size does not fit all.

Your first session with Latasha

First we will introduce ourselves and begin to establish rapport. Then I will conduct an initial assessment. This will require insight on your social history and understanding your specific needs. We will then establish your nutrition diagnosis. After the nutrition diagnosis has been established I will provide nutrition counseling and education specific to the nutritional needs identified. Together we will determine goals and schedule a follow up session. Expect to have a listening ear from someone who is willing to first listen to your challenges and barriers. Then we will begin to work together to develop an individualized nutrition care plan
