Hello, I’m Diane Kraft—an experienced nutrition educator passionate about food and the transformative power of practical habit change. With over a decade in both acute care (liver, kidney, GI) and outpatient settings (weight management, rheumatology, inflammation, diabetes), I meet you where you are on your health pathway—with the goal of helping you understand how dietary choices influence disease, symptoms, and overall well-being—because when you grasp the “mechanism of action,” nutrition becomes a powerful, personalized tool.
My Expertise
Clinical Nutrition Assessment I hold 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 with advanced training in pediatric and adult weight management, I provide comprehensive assessments of your nutritional health, including detailed reviews of diagnoses, medications, lab values, and diet history, followed by tailored medical nutrition therapy and practical resources to support your goals.
Nutrition Education I adapt education and recommendations to your learning style, readiness, and resources. Whether it’s demystifying renal diets, carbohydrate counting, or simply making shopping, cooking, and eating on-the-go more manageable, we’ll create realistic, results-driven strategies that work for your life.
Dietary Supplement Expertise As a former clinical research manager at a leading supplement company, I offer scientifically sound advice for safe, effective supplementation—if needed—to prevent or treat nutrient imbalances or deficiencies.
A Food-as-Medicine Approach As the author of The A–Z Guide to Food As Medicine series, I recognize how profoundly specific foods, nutrients, and dietary patterns can affect health. Together, we can harness the benefits of mindful eating whether you're navigating a health condition or striving for optimal well-being.
"Food is medicine, and as a dedicated clinical nutritionist with a doctorate in clinical nutrition, I am passionate about assisting adults and children to improve their nutritional health through expert guidance rooted in science, practicality, and the joy of great-tasting food."
