John Nielsen, RD

I am a passionate Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) dedicated to empowering individuals to reach their health goals through evidence-based, personalized nutrition guidance. My credentials include a bachelor's degree in nutrition from Iowa State University, completion of over 1,000 hours of supervised practice in diverse clinical and community settings, and successful passage of the national registration exam administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration. I maintain my credentials through ongoing professional education, staying current with the latest research to provide the highest standard of care. I have 5 years of experience practicing as a Registered Dietitian.

When working with me, you can expect a collaborative approach focused on your unique needs. We start with a thorough assessment of your health history, lifestyle, eating patterns, and goals—whether that's sustainable weight loss, managing chronic conditions, improving energy, or building healthier habits. I create customized plans with practical meal ideas, education on balanced nutrition, and strategies for long-term success, emphasizing enjoyable, realistic changes over restrictive diets. Ongoing sessions provide accountability, adjustments, and motivation to help you thrive.

Get to know me: I believe that food is a gift and I'm truly excited about food as fuel for life. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and 2 children and serving my church. These personal interests keep me grounded and remind me that nutrition is about balance and joy, not perfection. My drive stems from seeing clients transform—not just physically, but in confidence and well-being—knowing that small, sustainable shifts can lead to profound, lasting health improvements. I'm here to support you every step of the way!
