Hi! My name is Maddi; I am a Registered Dietitian (RD, LDN) and Integrative Nutrition Health Coach in hormonal health from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition! As we work together, I will listen to you first and foremost. Then, we will dive into the issues at hand – exploring beyond food and nutrition by taking a holistic and all-encompassing approach to health. I will help you understand the topics of discussion by educating you and I will hold you accountable throughout the process of working together! I am personable and love to hold a meaningful conversation; I will never condemn you for your food choices – I have nothing but grace to offer you. I want you to know that I am with you and I am for you!
That being said, I believe food is our medicine and optimal health begins at the cellular level. Health is vastly more than calories in and calories out – hormones, gut microbiome, stress, sleep, family history, activity level, and, of course, diet, all play integral and interconnected roles to either heal or harm the body. I aim to look holistically at each patient, striving to understand the root of the issues at hand (this is something Western medicine does not do).
I became a Registered Dietitian because I struggled immensely with my relationship with food for over a decade. It affected my relationships and ability to “live my life”. I was a slave to the food scale, counting calories, measuring, and restricting my intake. Food was on my mind and my mind was on food. Constantly. I truly understand the struggle. Thankfully, my faith in Christ brought healing to my heart and restoration to my relationship with food. And, the truth is, food is nourishing and healing! I have experienced, firsthand, how real, wholesome food transformed my health – first healing my gut microbiome, then my hormones, blood sugar, mood, and sleep. Food is a gift not to be taken for granted. And remember, our bodies have been designed to heal themselves!
In my free time I enjoy exercising, going on long walks, reading faith based books, writing, and homemaking. I live on the Eastern shore in Maryland with my husband and newborn baby. Being a Registered Dietitian is a blessing because nutrition is my passion and I have the daily privilege to encourage, educate, and help people lead healthier lives.
If you are interested in taking supplements, I highly recommend a few that contain 100% natural ingredients that ACTIVATE your body to heal on its own. No fillers, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors. You do not have to use these supplements to meet with me, but I strongly believe in their efficacy and reliability! We can discuss further if interested!
