Reaching the Core for

NUTRITIONAL CHANGE

Welcome!

Whether you are a patient looking to improve nutrition or a provider looking to refer patients, we’d like to thank you for visiting our website!

We are a team of Registered Dietitians who is dedicated to providing the highest level of nutrition counseling and education. Together we can help you not only achieve short-term outcomes, but long-term nutritional changes too!

About Us

We get to know you.

We believe in building positive relationships with our patients over time. Each assessment allows us to get to know you better, learn more about your disease risk, and individualize a nutrition prescription that you can follow.

We provide you science-based nutrition information.

We take the science of nutrition and translate it into bite-size pieces that are easy for our patients to digest. These pieces will demonstrate how altering your food choices and changing your eating behavior will lessen your disease risk.

We offer you encouragement and support.

We believe in following-up with our patients about their nutritional status and nutrition prescription outcomes. Each reassessment enables us to identify problems and offer solutions that may further help you achieve nutritional changes.

Whether you want a calorie-controlled diet, diabetic meal plan, food allergy guidance, weight-loss surgery recommendations, or anything in between, we can provide you with the science-based information you need. We appreciate your trust in our services and look forward to working with you soon!

I reached out to Lisa Roberts, MS, RD who provided me with a very well thought-out and easy diet plan to lower blood pressure. Through her advice, expertise, and guidance, I have reduced my medications’ dosage. Lisa was easy to listen to and made me feel comfortable-I continue to recommend her to friends who need a dietitian.”
