Kathryn Derrick, RD

My name is Katie Derrick and I am a registered and licensed dietitian with over 20 years of experience practicing from a true whole-health perspective.  I am deeply committed to meeting people exactly where they are in their health journey-creating realistic, affordable, and sustainable plans that empower long-term lifestyle change rather than quick fixes. I am graduate of the University of Georgia and specialize in a wide range of clinical and functional nutrition areas, including renal disease, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, pre- and post-operative bariatrics, weight management, GLP-1 medication support, and complex gastrointestinal issues.  I work with patients across the lifespan-pediatrics, adults, and geriatrics-bringing compassion, clarity, and practicality to every encounter.  My whole-health philosophy is also reflected at home-my husband is a chiropractor who shares the same integrative approach, and together we raise two beautiful, energetic children who keep life full of movement and joy.  Outside of my practice, I love to cook and developing new recipes with my kids, staying active through exercise, hiking and playing pickleball.  I believe that effective nutrition care should always be simple, realistic, and accessible, and I take pride in helping each patient feel seen, supported, and confident in their ability to take the next step-no matter where they're starting.
