About Mikayla

Hi! I’m Dr. Mikayla Fetterhoff, a licensed dietitian nutritionist committed to helping you navigate the often confusing world of nutrition with clarity and confidence. My personal health challenges and experience as a competitive athlete shaped my understanding of how impactful nutrition can be. I strive to provide supportive, personalized care that helps you take charge of your health and achieve your goals, no matter where you’re starting from.

Approach to care

I believe every person has a unique story, and nutrition care should reflect that. My approach is compassionate, personalized, and collaborative. I focus on cutting through nutrition misinformation and providing realistic, sustainable strategies tailored to your needs and goals. I do not promote fad diets and will debunk common myths. My supplement recommendations are based on evidence, prioritizing tested, verified options when needed. My guidance is science-backed, honest, and always delivered in a judgment-free space. I understand that life can be messy, and nutrition shouldn’t add to the stress. My goal is to simplify the process, offering clarity and support so you can confidently work toward your health goals. Whether managing a chronic condition, striving for better health, or seeking guidance, I’m here to provide the knowledge and tools you need to succeed and sustain a healthier lifestyle.

Your first session with Mikayla

In our first session, we’ll explore your health history, lifestyle, and nutrition goals in a welcoming, judgment-free space. We’ll discuss your medical history, recent labs, dietary preferences, and overall health goals. Using this information, we’ll work together to identify key focus areas and create a practical, achievable plan tailored to you. You’ll leave with your questions answered, a clear sense of direction, and renewed motivation to take charge of your health.

Hobbies

Aside from learning anything and everything about nutrition and science topics, I have a passion for crafting and creating, whether it’s drawing, painting, or turning my artwork into stickers and cards to spread a little joy. I’m always eager to learn new arts and crafts, like crocheting, and I have a special place in my heart for the culinary arts. I love cooking and creating new recipes, but baking is my true love—especially when it comes to crafting fine pastries and decorating cakes. Outside of crafting and baking, I enjoy playing soccer, spending time outdoors during the summer (Wisconsin winters, not so much!), and being around animals. My biggest hobby, however, is dedicating an arguably excessive amount of time to loving and interacting with my two free-range rabbits—they always keep me entertained!
