Nicole Parker

About Nicole

I have been a practicing dietitian for nearly 20 years. I started in Public Health/WIC and then spent many years working in both the inpatient and outpatient world. As an inpatient dietitian, I covered everything from ICU, NICU to Geriatric Psych, acute rehab, cardiac, orthopedics, and general med-surg. As an outpatient dietitian, my experiences include cardiopulmonary rehab, diabetes management, and cancer. As an oncology dietitian, I have worked with breast, gyn-onc, GI, prostate, and head and neck cancers. I also have my 200-hr Yoga Teacher Certification. I live in NH with my husband, 3 teenagers, great pyrenees, and a very feisty cat.

Approach to care

I tell my patients that I am the navigator, and they are in the driver's seat. I will provide them with the tools, resources, and support they need to reach their goals. The patient must ultimately make their own choices. I am a non-diet dietitian who takes a food first approach. My favorite quote is, "Let Food Be Thy Medicine and Medicine Be Thy Food" ~ Hippocrates.

Your first session with Nicole

Our first session is to discuss any nutrition-related questions or concerns you may have. I will ask about your medical history, weight history, medications, supplements, and dietary habits. We will then discuss setting sustainable goals.
