Mariel Gossett

About Mariel

Hi there! I'm Mariel, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist based in Tampa, FL, with experience in both clinical and community nutrition. I work with adults and children, specializing in weight management, pre- and postpartum nutrition, and chronic condition prevention and management, including heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, and gastrointestinal disorders.

Approach to care

My approach to care is science-driven, compassionate, and highly individualized. I believe nutrition should be practical, flexible, and tailored to your real life—not based on rigid rules or one-size-fits-all plans. I focus on small, realistic goals supported by education and self-awareness, because lasting change happens gradually and with intention. Whether we’re working on improving lab values, supporting a healthy pregnancy, building balanced habits, or navigating a chronic condition, my goal is to empower you with the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions about your health.

Your first session with Mariel

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and discuss your goals. We’ll review your medical history, habits, and lifestyle so I can better understand your unique needs. The information you share will serve as the foundation for your personalized nutrition plan. By the end of our session, we’ll set your first goal and outline a clear, actionable plan to get started. This meeting marks the start of our partnership in working towards your healthiest self!
