About Rachel

Hi! My name is Rachel Long and I am a Registered Dietitian with over 20 years of experience. My passion for nutrition began in my late teens and was diagnosed with IBS. Since then I have made it my mission to learn how food affects our bodies in a variety of ways and how proper nutrition can treat many of our illnesses and ailments and can help prevent the need for some medications.

Approach to care

My approach to care centers around my passion for helping individuals build sustainable and balanced relationships with food. My education and experience has allowed me to provide a science-based, compassionate approach to nutrition education. I like to encourage mindful eating to help with various nutrition-related challenges, including digestive health, disordered eating prevention and treatment, and chronic disease management.

Your first session with Rachel

In our first session, I will want to learn more about your motivation for seeking nutrition support. I would also like to know more about your nutritional history, including what a typical day/week looks like for you (food diary). Other helpful information includes your medical history, lifestyle factors (such as sleep, stress, exercise, etc.), digestive symptoms, and access to food or potential barriers. I will work with you to identify challenges and potential areas for change. I will ask you about your short and long-term goals (ex: weight management, managing a condition like diabetes, or just eating better or in a healthier way). We will then work towards a personalized plan with realistic steps to help you make progress towards your short-term and long-term goals.
