Elizabeth Shidler, RD

Hello and welcome! My name is Elizabeth Shidler, MS, RD, LD. I have been a registered dietitian for seven years, with an additional two years of supervised practicum experience in nutrition and dietetics. Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of settings, including long-term care, dialysis, weight management, and telehealth nutrition, with a growing focus on gastrointestinal health, insulin resistance, metabolic health, and women’s health.

​

My passion for nutrition is also deeply personal. I began my own weight and health journey at a young age, attending WeightWatchers starting at 12 years old. After years of experiencing dieting, weight fluctuations, food noise, and the frustration of feeling like I had to work harder than everyone else to manage my weight, I knew I wanted to become a dietitian and help others who felt the same way.

​

Over the years, my interest in integrative and functional nutrition grew as I learned more about how nutrition, hormones, metabolism, gut health, sleep, stress, and lifestyle can all influence how we feel. I earned my Master of Science in Integrative and Functional Medicine from John Patrick University of Health and Applied Sciences, which expanded the way I approach nutrition and helped me look beyond simply telling someone what to eat.

​

My own health journey has also shaped the way I practice. I understand how frustrating it can be when strategies that once worked suddenly stop working or when you feel like you're doing everything "right" without seeing the results you expected. That experience allows me to meet my clients with empathy rather than judgment and help them find an approach that works for their individual body, lifestyle, and goals.

​

Originally from Minnesota, I received my bachelor's degree in Dietetics from the University of North Dakota before trading the cold winters for sunny Florida. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, baking, traveling, spending time at the beach, trying new restaurants, and spending time with my dogs.
