About William

I'm Will, a Registered Dietitian and "clinical strategist" for your health. My background is rooted in the life sciences, with degrees in Biology and Psychology, and a Master of Public Health in Nutrition from the top-ranked UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health. My career path has been unique, ranging from neuroscience research laboratories and local food production to developing products for a gluten-free commercial bakery. This experience gives me a "farm-to-cell" perspective: I understand the biochemistry of your diagnosis, but I also understand the reality of the food system. Whether you need help managing a chronic condition like diabetes or simply need to navigate the grocery store with confidence, I help you translate clinical data into real-world nutrition.

Approach to care

I view myself as a research-backed partner in your health. Effective nutrition isn't about following the latest trend; it is about finding what works for your specific physiology. I prioritize stability over quick fixes. My goal is to help you achieve "behavioral wins"—sustainable, strategic changes that improve your lab results and your energy levels without causing burnout. I also believe in total transparency and clinical rigor. If we encounter a complex question during our work together, I don’t guess—I dig into the latest evidence to ensure the answers you get are reliable and scientifically sound.

Your first session with William

Our first session is a Comprehensive Foundational Assessment. We will take the time to thoroughly review your medical history, recent lab work (if available), and your current relationship with food. My goal is to understand the full picture of your health, not just a snapshot of what you ate yesterday. Together, we will identify the specific biological factors driving your condition and pinpoint where your current nutrition might be misaligned with your health goals. You will leave this session with a clear explanation of why we are making changes, and an initial, sustainable plan. My priority is to make nutrition simple but scientifically sound, so you walk away feeling less overwhelmed and more in control.
