RJ Lord

About RJ

Rj Lord is a registered dietitian nutritionist based in Charlotte, NC with almost a decade of experience in clinical care and nutrition counseling. I'm dedicated to meeting you where you are and guiding you to where you want to be—no matter your starting point. I have previous experience serving a diverse range of patients, but I find my true passion to be centered around functional nutrition and diabetes. Beyond my profession, I love all things fitness, wellness, and self-care.

Approach to care

Rj takes a collaborative, personalized approach to nutrition counseling, meeting each patient where they are to help them thrive. She honors individual cultures, food traditions, and personal preferences, empowering patients to use food as medicine—both as a complement to medical treatment and as a powerful tool for prevention.

Your first session with RJ

Your first session is all about you! (And honestly, every session is all about you!) I will encourage you to share about what's important to you, and the factors you feel are leading you to seek input and support from a dietitian. I will ask about your health history, food intake, various aspects of your current health (sleep, stress, lifestyle, for example), and a typical day in your life - with lots of questions in between. I truly seek to understand as best as possible what your priorities are and how we can develop a roadmap together to assist you in reaching your goals.
