Amanda Kennedy, RD

Hello everyone! My name is Amanda, and I am a registered dietitian nutritionist and certified lactation consultant. It wasn’t until after my diagnosis of Type II Diabetes in high school that the idea of nutrition could potentially compete as a possible career choice for me. I enrolled in the dietetic program at the University of Georgia and was accepted into the Double Dawg pathway. I completed both my bachelor’s of family and consumer sciences in Dietetics and my master’s of science in Community Nutrition within 5 years. Following my bachelor’s, I accepted my first job with the WIC program where I later was accepted into their dietetic internship and eventually received my RDN and LDN credentials. 

​

During my time as a public health dietitian, I was also able to become a certified lactation consultant and fall in love with counseling on breastfeeding, pregnancy, and pediatrics. I am currently also working as an outpatient dietitian in a hospital setting where I enjoy counseling patients on all types of diabetes and cardiac conditions, bariatric surgery, weight loss, and more. With my background, I am open to helping anyone and everyone on their health journey meeting them where they are at and making one small change at a time until their health goals are met.
