About Suzette R.
Hi there! Iām Suzette, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with over 3 decades of experience. I specialize in weight loss surgery and the bariatric diet, medical weight loss, and non-surgical weight loss. Iām also passionate about insulin resistance and diabetes; I know first-hand what itās like to live with it. Whether you're managing a health condition, striving for weight loss, or simply seeking to feel your best, Iām here to give evidence-based guidance and unwavering support every step of the way.
Approach to care
When you step into our time together, know that you are safe. Thereās no judgment hereāno wagging fingers, no impossible expectations, no guilt. Just support, understanding, and a whole lot of heart. Iām not here to be the food police or to tell you what you can and canāt do. Iām here to listen, to truly hear you, and to walk alongside you as a partner in your journey. Whether you need a cheerleader, a sounding board, or someone to sit with you in the hard moments, Iām in your corner, 100%. This is not about perfectionāitās about progress. And you donāt have to do it alone. Weāre a team, and Iām here to help you untangle whatās holding you back, celebrate your wins (big and small), and remind you of your strength on the days you forget. No matter where you are right now, Iāll meet you there. And step by step, weāll move forwardātogether. Youāve got this. And Iāve got you. š
Your first session with Suzette R.
Imagine sitting down with a close friendāsomeone who truly sees you, listens intently, and understands your unique journey with food. Thatās exactly how I approach nutrition coaching. I donāt believe in one-size-fits-all meal plans or generic cookie-cutter advice. Instead, I take the time to explore what makes you YOUāyour lifestyle, habits, struggles, and aspirationsāso that together, we can create a personalized approach that feels natural and sustainable for you. This isnāt just another appointment; itās the beginning of something transformative. Our first session is about more than just discussing foodāitās about connection. Itās an open, judgment-free conversation where you can share your experiences, challenges, and goals. Youāll talk, and Iāll listenāreally, really listenābecause understanding your story is the key to creating a path that truly works for you.
