About Nicholas

Hi! I'm Nick, a registered dietitian with 3 years experience. I've been told I'm very knowledgeable and helpful by my patients. As a child, I was overweight and I took it upon myself to lose weight and get in shape through diet and exercise. Although I achieved this largely on my own, I would have loved to have a dietitian to help me on my journey. I enjoy helping people improve their eating and exercise habits and guiding them towards success.

Approach to care

I have a compassionate point of view when counseling patients. I'm not someone who was always in shape my whole life or someone with "good genetics". Because of this I can relate to patients and be better able to understand their position and help them. I promote eating a whole-foods centered diet, tailored towards each person's specific tastes, preferences, allergies/intolerances, and lifestyle. I aim to minimize unnecessary tracking and counting of numbers, such as calories or measuring food, since it is not natural. When is the last time you saw an animal counting calories or measuring their food? It's totally possible to improve health and lose weight by focusing on eating the right foods and exercising. Whether its weight loss, help managing diabetes, or even if you just need some general guidance with your eating habits, I look forward to helping you reach your goals!

Your first session with Nicholas

In our first session, we will get to know each other a bit and discuss your goals and the reason that you are seeking nutritional guidance. Then we will cover your current diet, such as what you eat in a typical day, your exercise habits, and any relevant lifestyle factors. We will then use this information to see what can be improved, and how we can best reach your goals throughout the following sessions.
