Jane Sylvestre, RD

My name is  Dr. Jane Sylvestre, a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) with over 30 years of experience helping people build healthier relationships with food and their bodies. In our sessions together, you can expect to walk away with practical tools for success, whether that’s meal planning strategies, cooking skills, or setting achievable goals with clear steps. My objective is to help you build confidence and feel empowered on your journey.

I specialize in weight management, including support for individuals using diet alone, weight loss medications or bariatric surgery. I also have experience working with clients with eating disorders. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of guiding patients through meaningful, sustainable change and celebrating their victories along the way.

My credentials include a Doctorate in Clinical Nutrition (DCN) and board certification as a Specialist in Obesity and Weight Management (CSOWM). I’m also a licensed dietitian nutritionist (LDN) and an RDN. Throughout my career, I’ve been honored with several awards, including Outstanding Dietitian of the Year from the Maine Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (2024), the Excellence in Practice Award from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (2019), and the Excellence in Nutrition Award from the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (2018).

On a personal note, I’m a marathon runner and even had the joy of running one alongside a patient who had lost over 100 pounds, a truly inspiring experience. At home, I’m a recent empty nester, married to my husband Matthew for 29 years, and mom to two college graduates. My little Shih Tzu and Siberian cat keep me busy and entertained.

I became a dietitian because I wanted to help people improve their health and discover just how good it feels to eat well. Building my private practice has allowed me to combine my professional expertise with my passion for supporting people in living healthier, fuller lives.
