About Emily

The Registered Dietitian Behind Thriving Body Nutrition

Emily discovered her passion for nutrition through her own health journey. Like many Americans, Emily was exposed to fad-diet culture that focuses on restriction rather than nutrition. But, these methods never led to lasting results and always made her feel worse. So, she decided to embark on learning the science behind how the human body interacts with food and use this knowledge to make lifestyle changes that focus on inclusion of nutrients in the proper amounts, rather than on restriction.

After obtaining a Masters of Science degree in Human Dietetics, completing her dietetic internship, and passing the Commission on Dietetic Registration exam, Emily began her work as a clinical dietitian in acute care, outpatient, and long-term care/skilled rehab settings. She had the privilege of working beside and learning from dietitians and doctors who specialized in diabetes care, oncology, dialysis, weight management, and so much more. She provided nutrition counseling to patients from all walks of life and levels of health including patients at all stages of kidney disease, heart disease, pre-diabetes/diabetes, eating disorders, cancer, infertility/PCOS, weight management in all age groups, and athletes ranging from high school and college level through elite special operations soldiers

After several years, Emily noticed some of the limitations of clinical settings, where patient care is often stifled by what insurance will cover. She began to visualize how patient care could improve with packages that included cutting edge genetic testing, robust meal planning, and packages that allow more frequent follow-up and support to clients. Thus, Thriving Body Nutrition was born.
