About Regina
Hello! My name is Gina Feldkamp, and I have been a Registered Dietitian for 33 years, with over 30 of those years in the field of weight management! I worked for a hospital based medical weight loss program for over 20 years, and about 7 years with a bariatric surgery practice. My most recent job is working exclusively with the MOVE! Weight Management Program for the Department of Veterans Affairs. I am originally from Ohio, and moved to Colorado about 6 years ago. My husband and I moved here because we love the outdooors and love to explore all Colorado has to offer all year long.
Approach to care
I take a patient centered approach to nutrition counseling and education and am passionate about helping people improve their health, feel better and enjoy living their best life. I believe in taking small steps to achieve cumulative larger goals, as this helps to provide the motivation and confidence for you to succeed! I use evidence-based and proven strategies to guide you to make the lifestyle changes, but I will also be your biggest cheerleader to counsel, and encourage you along the way! I love working one on one with individuals as I love to see the progress and changes people make and the difference it makes in their health and quality of life.
Your first session with Regina
In our first session, I want to learn about you and your goals and what is important to you with your health. We will talk about current behaviors with eating, activity, stress and sleep. I think it is important to talk about things you may have tried in the past, discussing what worked and what didn't and why. I like to discuss some ideas for 1 or 2 goals to work to start that you feel are realistic and achievable for you and your life. I will provide nutrition resources and tools where needs to assist you. We will set up follow up sessions, usually weekly at first. These sessions will review how you are doing, successes you are having as well as challenges and problem solving.

I LOVE hiking and pretty much anything outdoors! My husband and I love to take our kayaks to mountain lakes while he does some fishing. I also love mountain biking on the many beautiful trails Colorado has to offer in my backyard. I also love backyard gardening and cooking and baking for my family.
