About Sam

Hi, I'm Sam Swenson, a registered dietitian. A few fun facts about me is that I have 4 cats, used to manage a CrossFit gym, and often bake cakes for my friend's birthdays. I love being a dietitian because food and nutrition have become barbed-wire topics, tangled with trends, conflicting opinions, and misinformation. I’m passionate about cutting through that noise to make nutrition simple, practical, and sustainable for the people I work with. My goal is always to help others feel better, live healthier, and understand that eating well doesn’t have to be complicated or overwhelming.

Approach to care

Before joining Nourish, I worked as a fitness coach, online nutrition coach, and inpatient clinical dietitian, so I understand how food choices can affect both everyday energy and long-term health. I take an evidence-based, client-first approach, meaning your goals, preferences, and lifestyle will always shape the plan we build together. Whether you're navigating a chronic condition, trying to build better habits, or just want to feel more confident in your choices, I'm here to help you make progress that lasts.

Your first session with Sam

Our first session is all about getting to know you. We’ll talk through your goals, medical history, current habits, and anything you feel is important to share. No judgment, just a real conversation about where you are now and where you’d like to be. I’ll ask some questions, listen closely, and start building a plan that fits your lifestyle. You won’t leave with a strict meal plan, but you will leave with a few practical steps to start moving in the right direction.
