About Lindsey

Hi, I’m Lindsey, an experienced Registered Dietitian. I earned my MS in Nutrition and completed my Dietetic Internship at Meredith College, and I hold a BS in Dietetics from the University of Florida. My clinical background spans hospital settings, renal dietetics, and long-term care, where I learned to translate science into practical, compassionate care. I was born and raised in Tallahassee, FL and currently live in North Florida.

Approach to care

My care philosophy is built on evidence-based practice and clear empathy. I believe in an educational, collaborative approach that helps you understand the why behind your choices and how to apply it. We’ll partner to turn science into sustainable habits, focusing on long-term change rather than quick fixes. I honor a weight-neutral perspective and a holistic view that includes sleep, stress, and your relationship with food. Together, we’ll create a plan that fits your life and your values.

Your first session with Lindsey

Our first session is all about you. We’ll review your medical history and medications, dive into your relationship with food, and start to understand your daily routine, preferences, and goals. You don’t need to have it all figured out yet; this is a low-pressure, collaborative conversation. We’ll identify one or two short-term goals to get started and review any recent lab work or biometrics to frame your plan. I’ll be with you every step, no judgment.

Education

M.S. in Nutrition from Meredith College. Dietetic Internship from Meredith College. B.S. in Dietetics from University of Florida.

Hobbies

When I am not meeting with patients, I like to spend quality time with my Cavapoo, relaxing with family and trying a new recipe with my boyfriend.
