About Leigh
My name is Leigh Hartwell, I live in New Hampshire and have been an RD for 12 years. I find nutrition fascinating and love that it is always changing. My experiences include clinical nutrition, addiction & mental health, foodservice, & community education. My favorite part about being a dietitian is when my clients challenge me. I feel it is my job as a professional to look at the data and guide patients on the healthiest path that also works with their lifestyle preferences and beliefs. I follow a Mediterranean based, plant forward & gluten free eating pattern.
Approach to care
Food is medicine. The way we eat affects how we live and the way we live affects how we eat. Nutrition is only part of a healthy lifestyle, we also need to also nourish our bodies with exercise and sleep, practice mindfulness to connect with our emotions and reduce stress, and provide the best fuel in the food and beverages we consume.
Your first session with Leigh
I want to learn about you! This includes why you want to meet with a dietitian, your medical history, lifestyle, culture, preferences, beliefs, challenges, and successes. Each week we will create small obtainable goals to keep you motivated and accountable.
