About Savannah
Hello! My name is Savannah Gaither and I am a Registered Dietitian from Muncie, IN. My love and passion for nutrition started at a very young age when my grandmother gave me a "Eat This, Not That" book to look at while she was babysitting me. I started my career as a Clinical Dietitian in Indianapolis, IN after I graduated with my Master's degree in Nutrition. In my clinical role, I specialized in a variety of areas such as cardiology, behavioral health, and eating disorders. I also assisted many of my colleagues on their units, which broadened my knowledge and experience in the fields of oncology, diabetes and enteral nutrition. I always saw myself in an outpatient role as I thoroughly enjoy developing relationships with all of my patients and watching them succeed!
Approach to care
One thing that I will always stress to my patients is that I would much rather us discuss things that we can 'add,' instead of things that we should 'subtract' to our diets. I strongly believe that all foods fit in moderation (unless you have a severe allergy) and that nutrition is not one-size-fits-all! I want you to feel comfortable telling me about your wins, and your losses throughout your health journey and I will be there to cheer you on every step of the way!
Your first session with Savannah
Let's get to know each other! I want to know what brings you to Nourish, and what things you may have tried in the past regarding nutrition such as diets, exercise, supplements, etc. We will also talk about your motivation, your short-term and long-term goals, and your lifestyle. The goal is to come up with the best nutrition plan that works for you, not against you!
