Sydney McCune

About Sydney

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) with a PhD in Nutrition. With experience in both clinical nutrition and food service management, I am passionate about translating the latest scientific findings into practical, personalized nutrition strategies. My approach is compassionate and client-centered, empowering individuals and families to achieve their health goals through sustainable, science-backed dietary changes. Whether you're navigating a medical condition or optimizing your diet for long-term wellness, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Approach to care

My approach to care is rooted in a weight-inclusive, Health at Every Size® (HAES®) framework, recognizing that health is not determined by weight alone but by a variety of individualized factors. I prioritize evidence-based, compassionate nutrition counseling tailored to each person’s unique needs, lifestyle, and health goals. Rather than focusing on restrictive diets, I emphasize sustainable, realistic changes that support long-term well-being. By combining the latest research with a client-centered approach, I empower individuals to cultivate a positive relationship with food and their bodies while making meaningful, lasting improvements to their health.

Your first session with Sydney

In your first nutrition counseling session, we’ll take the time to understand your health history, lifestyle, and nutrition goals. I take a weight-inclusive, HAES® approach, focusing on overall well-being rather than weight as the sole indicator of health. We’ll explore your eating habits, medical history, and any challenges you face, ensuring that recommendations are tailored to your unique needs. Using an evidence-based, non-diet approach, I’ll provide practical, sustainable strategies that fit your lifestyle. Together, we’ll set realistic goals and outline next steps to support your long-term health. This session is a collaborative, judgment-free space where you can feel empowered to make meaningful changes at your own pace.
