Lisa Berthaut

About Lisa

I'm a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist with over 20 years of experience in both inpatient and outpatient care. My work spans diabetes education, bariatric and weight management, and medical nutrition therapy across a variety of healthcare settings.

Approach to care

My foundation is built on clear communication, individualized support, and a deep respect for each person’s journey. Having grown up and worked in the South, I approach nutrition with warmth, relatability, and an appreciation for cultural traditions. I believe in meeting people where they are—with empathy and real-world solutions that make healthy living feel achievable, not overwhelming. Whether I’m helping someone adjust to a new diagnosis or maintain family food traditions while improving their health, my goal is to make nutrition both accessible and empowering.

Your first session with Lisa

On our first session, you can expect a comprehensive conversation focused on your health, lifestyle, and nutrition goals. We may discuss your medical history, current medications, dietary habits, weight history, activity level, sleep, stress, and any food allergies, cultural preferences, or restrictions. We will also discuss your reasons for seeking nutrition support, whether it's for managing a health condition, improving eating habits, or achieving specific goals like weight loss or blood sugar control. Together, we will start developing a personalized plan with realistic, achievable steps tailored to your needs.
