Background
I'm David Egerdahl, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) with more than 15 years of experience in nutrition. My background includes clinical nutrition and long-term care, where I've worked with individuals with diverse health conditions and nutritional needs. This experience has taught me the importance of individualized, evidence-based nutrition care that considers the whole person, not just their diagnosis or dietary requirements.
My approach extends beyond telling people what to eat. I've become increasingly interested in why knowing what to do doesn't always translate into consistent behavior. Nutrition advice can be helpful, but putting it into practice is often challenging when life gets busy, stress builds, or routines change.
I believe effective nutrition care combines sound science with practical strategies that work in everyday life. Whether your goals involve weight management, blood sugar control, kidney health, improving dietary quality, or supporting fitness and body composition, I'll help you identify the changes most likely to make a meaningful difference.
My philosophy is simple: you don't need a perfect diet or an overwhelming list of rules. You need an individualized approach that fits your health needs, preferences, and lifestyle. My goal is to help you build sustainable habits, feel more confident in your food choices, and make progress that lasts beyond our appointments.

Approach
My approach combines evidence-based nutrition with practical behavior change. We'll start by understanding your health, goals, lifestyle, and challenges, then develop a personalized plan that fits your needs. Rather than trying to change everything at once, we'll focus on realistic, meaningful steps, build sustainable habits, and adjust as needed. My goal is to help you improve your health, feel confident in your choices, and make lasting changes that work in real life.
