Jenna Miles, RD

Hi; I'm Jenna! I'm a Registered Dietitian with nearly two decades of experience in both clinical and community settings. I have a strong foundation in evidence-based Medical Nutrition Therapy for a full spectrum of diagnoses across the life span. In 2024, I completed all continuing education credits toward a Certificate of Training in Obesity for Pediatrics and Adults. 

​

But I also bring vast experience in culturally-competent nutrition assessment and counseling. I have nine years of experience working with people from across the socioeconomic spectrum, from CEOs to unhoused people. In my previous job, roughly 80 percent of my patients were people of color and/or identified as LGBTQIA+. 

​

All of these experiences required extensive familiarity with and use of motivational interviewing, behavior change theory, and stages of change. In addition, over the course of my career, I have cultivated a beginning-to-intermediate level of Spanish proficiency. 

​

As a dietitian with ADHD in a larger body, I offer a unique perspective to many of my patients, not to mention plenty of empathy. I know you're more than just what you eat or how much you weigh. You're a whole, unique individual, with many facets to your life that play into those things! That's why I offer a whole-person approach to nutrition counseling. I’m confident I can show you that it is, in fact, possible to achieve health at any size through healthy eating and lifestyle practices.

​

We'll get started with a full nutrition assessment, where I'll get to know you as a whole person, and not just how you eat or how much you weigh! From there, I'll work with you to form a nutrition action plan that feels truly doable to you, personally. YOU will be at the center of every step, and I promise to respect your needs and preferences along the way! 

​

On a personal note, I was raised in Texas and occasionally still say "y'all," despite living in California since 2008. When I'm not dietitian-ing, I stay busy by writing, cooking, and unintentionally embarrassing my adolescent daughters.
