Megan McKinley

About Megan

I'm a registered dietitian with seven years of experience in a hospital setting, specializing in medical nutrition therapy for individuals managing a wide range of chronic conditions. I’m especially passionate about diabetes care and the powerful role that both medication and nutrition play in achieving optimal health. I'm currently working toward becoming a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES).

Approach to care

I became a dietitian to help people build a healthy relationship with food and to show that food can truly be a form of medicine. I believe in balance—some foods are meant to fuel us, and others are meant to be enjoyed. There's room for all in a healthy lifestyle. Whether you're managing a chronic illness or simply seeking better balance, I take a compassionate, individualized approach. I listen, stay open-minded, and tailor nutrition strategies to support your personal goals.

Your first session with Megan

In our first session, we’ll spend time talking about your goals, your current eating habits, and what feels most important to you. It’s a chance for me to really get to know you, hear your story, and understand what support you’re looking for. Together, we’ll start to create a plan that feels realistic and personalized—something you can feel good about moving forward with.
