Amy Moore, RD

I became a Registered Dietitian in 2012 after a lifelong journey with struggling to understand diet, weight, and wellness in a family that did not place importance on those values. I wanted to help others who were struggling through the maze of misinformation so they could avoid the dieting mistakes I made, as well as the emotional distress it can bring. 

​

I believe a focus on health and fitness is far more beneficial than one on being a certain size, and I found that eating for health was much easier and more rewarding than eating for a bikini body. I also know that there are a lot of misconceptions about weight in our society, and I know that "fat and fit" is a very real thing often overlooked by doctors. 

​

I spent 5 years as a dialysis dietitian, which I consider my true love in healthcare. I understand the complexities of the diet and the bone mineral imbalances that result. I was a strong advocate for IDPN and saw impressive results in albumin levels for patients on it. 

​

I have also worked in long-term care facilities as a contract dietitian and diet tech, and have some experience working in the tribal system in Arizona. 

​

Most recently, I have been on tirzepatide and was amazed by its ability to take off the steroid weight I had put on following a bad car accident. I support the decision to use them or not, but have come to accept them as a valuable weight-loss tool.
