About Mary
Hi, My name is Mary Catherine Peters but go by Cathy! I have loved everything about nutrition since I was in middle school. I would read labels on everything I ate and everything anyone else ate in my circle. After my own 100-pound weight loss in 2001, I went from being an ICU RD to helping others achieve lasting health transformations with compassion & understanding. What I Do Best √Weight Management including weight loss and weight gain √GLP-1 Optimization √Bariatric Surgery Pre and Post op √Gut Health including GERD, IBS (FODMAP), Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Gastrectomy, Dumping Syndrome and more √Hormonal Health √Inflammatory Conditions √ Diabetes including Prediabetes √ Autoimmune Disorders √Oncology √Malnutrition √Nutrition Support I create sustainable interventions with goal-setting & tools that stick. I review the goals at each session and fine tune them with my patient's involvement
Approach to care
I believe nutrition Care should be supportive, individualized, and free of judgment. I approach each client with an open mind, focusing on collaboration and creating goals together rather than prescribing rigid “diet rules.” Every body is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to food or health. I do not believe in using “ideal body weights” as a measure of success—instead, I work with clients to find the weight, lifestyle, and habits that allow them to feel their best whether it's managing a disease or weight control.
Your first session with Mary
In our first session together, my focus will be on getting to know you. I’ll ask questions and encourage open dialogue about your past medical history, diet history, family history, lifestyle habits (both strengths and challenges), and more. From there, we’ll work collaboratively to create a personalized plan tailored to your needs and goals. Together, we’ll set realistic, achievable goals and explore behavioral strategies to support lasting success.
