Tanja Glosson

About Tanja

Hello! My name is Tanja (Tan-ya) and I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) with experience in a rehabilitation setting as a clinical dietitian. I’m a native of Finland and got re-rooted into the American Midwest about 30 years ago. I was brought up with home cooking and family gatherings that were always centered around delicious foods. My career path in nutrition was inspired during my stay-at-home mom years, when I was faced with health battles. I have absolutely enjoyed every moment of this career! Food plays a central role in everyone’s life and getting to talk about it daily with others is a joy!

Approach to care

My approach to care is very patient focused. My goal is to support and guide every patient where they are in their journey to better and improve health. As a professional, I know from experience that creating a safe space to share and grow is foundational for success. So, getting to know each other is important. Together with each patient I work to create practical dietary changes by setting realistic goals which encourage healthy habits that fit into your unique needs and a busy daily life.

Your first session with Tanja

I'm excited to meet you! During your first session, we get to know each other. We will also discuss why you came, your health history, your food-roots and current food story, and what success looks like to you. Together we will set goals and create a plan that works for you, making it easier to start your journey toward better health.
