Erin Kennedy Hartensveld, RD
Background
Wellness starts with food that works for you.
About Me:
Hi, I’m Erin! I’ve been a dietitian for more than 25 years, and my mission is simple: help people live healthier, happier lives through food that truly works for them. I earned my Master’s degree in Nutritional Sciences from SDSU and am a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES).
I know how confusing nutrition advice can be. That’s why I take a personalized, realistic approach—so you can feel confident, not overwhelmed. Whether you’re managing kidney disease, diabetes, gut health issues, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol, I’ll create a plan that fits your lifestyle, preferences, and goals.
My Philosophy:
Food should support your life—not control it. I believe in empowerment, guidance, and practical solutions that make sense for real life. My clients know me for my empathy, creative problem-solving, and ability to make nutrition feel approachable and doable.

Approach
"My approach is rooted in empathy, evidence-based care, and the belief that nutrition should support your life—not control it. I take time to understand your goals, preferences, and daily routines to create a plan that works for you—not a one-size-fits-all solution. Clients often tell me they feel heard, supported, and empowered. That’s my goal: to make nutrition approachable, flexible, and realistic. I focus on guidance, empowerment, and sustainable change, not quick fixes."
