Janette Cooke, RD

As a bilingual dietitian, I offer a unique perspective on personal, medical, and religious diets. With over 20 years of experience working with individuals of diverse ages, professions, and lifestyles, I believe in fostering a collaborative partnership in the client-dietitian relationship. You bring your goals, and I bring the knowledge and expertise to help you achieve them. My academic background complements my extensive professional experience. I hold a PhD in Health Psychology, which equips me with a comprehensive understanding of how biology, psychology, and social influences impact health. Additionally, my MS in Counseling Psychology enables me to recognize that each individual and family journey is unique and cannot be forced into a standardized approach. I leverage my additional MS in Philosophy and BS in Nutrition to effectively interpret research studies and apply their findings to the diet plans we develop together. I have studied abroad in South America, and I have worked with Spanish speaking populations. I have also worked with refugees from various countries who need additional support identifying local food from previously available cultural foods. I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of individuals, including athletes, military personnel, retirees, young mothers, children, youth, and men. With a strong focus on family values, I believe in involving the entire family in the process of making lifestyle changes, whenever possible. This approach not only facilitates lasting changes but also creates a supportive environment for long-term success. While I am knowledgeable about fad diets and current popular trends, my focus is on finding the best solution that meets each individual's unique needs. When working with clients, they can expect that I will set small, attainable goals that pave the way for lasting and sustainable changes.
