Stephanie Shay

About Stephanie

I am a Registered Dietitian, living in Ohio, with 6 years of clinical experience working in a large, urban hospital system, and over 10 years of professional experience in the field of nutrition. My internship was completed with a concentration in Weight Management which has made me especially adept in aiding weight loss goals and pre or post- bariatric surgery goals. I am also very experienced in providing nutrition care to those who are living with chronic health conditions such as heart disease, heart failure, diabetes, kidney disease, obesity, and cancer-related weight loss, as well as enteral and parenteral nutrition.

Approach to care

My approach is personalized. I find success in helping clients identify small, achievable, changes they can build on, to create a new, healthy lifestyle. Methods to reach goals can include using mindfulness, exploring new eating patterns, and learning about nutrition. Together, we will find the best approach to stay motivated to accomplish whatever result is desired!

Your first session with Stephanie

Let's get right to it! Along with introductions, the first session is likely to include a review of lifestyle and diet preferences, a food recall, and a review of goals as well as relevant health history. At the end of the session, the client will already have identified at least one objective to begin working to achieve health goals right away!
