Diane Kraft, RD

Hello, I’m Diane Kraft, a dedicated nutrition educator with a deep passion for great-tasting food and the power of practical habit changes in achieving lasting health improvements. My experience includes over a decade of experience in acute and out-patient nutrition care, and I specialize in:

Gastrointestinal health and malnutrition

Rheumatology and osteoporosis, and

Weight management, diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia

My ideal client is someone eager to understand how dietary modifications work to improve symptoms—because when you understand the "mechanism of action," nutrition becomes a powerful tool.

My Expertise

Clinical Nutrition Assessment: I hold advanced training in pediatric and adult weight management and malnutrition. My credentials include a Doctorate in Clinical Nutrition (University of North Florida), a Master’s in Clinical Nutrition (NYU), and a Bachelor’s in Nutrition (Penn State). As a licensed, registered dietitian/nutritionist, I have counseled hundreds of GI, kidney, liver, diabetes, and weight management patients. My recommendations are evidence-based, scientifically sound, and tailored to fit your lifestyle and resources.

Nutrition Education: I meet you where you are in your health journey, adapting my guidance to match your learning style. Whether it’s simplifying complex dietary regimens—like renal diets or carbohydrate counting—or making healthy cooking, grocery shopping, and eating on the go easier, I will help provide you with knowledge and skills to set and reach goals.

Knowledge of Dietary Supplements: As a former clinical research manager at a leading dietary supplement company, I bring expert knowledge on supplement use—helping you prevent or correct deficiencies, prevent imbalances, and avoid ineffective or excessive supplementation.

A Food-As Medicine Approach: As the author of The A-Z Guide to Food As Medicine, I recognize the profound impact that foods and dietary patterns have on nutritional health. By strategically leveraging nutrition, we can support both mental and physical performance, promoting overall well-being and resilience.

Let’s work together to build lasting, effective nutrition habits that empower your health!
