Michelle Cannon

About Michelle

Food has always been central to how I care for people and myself. I studied Food and Nutrition with a minor in Food Science, and over 15 years as a registered dietitian I’ve worked in hospitals, outpatient and skilled nursing settings with geriatric populations. I bring that clinical background to family-focused counseling, and my LD licensure and CD certification guide my practice. When I’m not at work you’ll find me cooking, canning, baking sourdough, hiking, riding my bike, or walking my dog between a kids basketball or football game. I’m especially passionate about balanced meals that work on a budget.

Approach to care

Science guides the plans we create together, and I translate evidence into practical steps you can use every day. I practice from a weight-neutral Health At Every Size lens, so our conversations focus on sustainable habits, not restriction. I aim to be warm and nonjudgmental, while also being direct and action-oriented so we leave each visit with clear, realistic strategies. Education is part of care, and I’ll help you understand why changes matter so you can make choices that last.

Your first session with Michelle

Expect a relaxed, judgment-free conversation where we review your medical history and any lab work or biometrics, and take a deep look at your relationship with food. We’ll talk about routines, barriers, and what fits your life and budget. Together we’ll set short-term, realistic goals and build eating habits that are practical for families and sustainable over time. You don’t need to have it all figured out, just bring your questions and we’ll get started together.
