Background

Hi, I’m Megan, a Registered Dietitian (MS, RD) and Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialist (CDCES). I help individuals improve blood sugar regulation from a variety of underlying causes like: PCOS, Type 2 Diabetes, or Insulin resistance related to obesity.  I am experienced in helping people achieve sustainable weight loss, including those using GLP-1 medications. 

I’ve successfully coached members through weight losses ranging from 10 to over 200 pounds using a non-restrictive, realistic approach designed to be compassionate, sustainable, and tailored to your unique lifestyle. 

Whether you are managing insulin resistance, looking to lower your A1C, or achieve weight loss; I can help you navigate the complexities of food and blood glucose without the stress of restrictive dieting. This is achieve through evidenced-based Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) from years of academics and research.

My approach to care is uniquely hybrid: I believe that achieving success must go hand-in-hand with a compassionate and holistic understanding of your lifestyle. In our sessions, we will focus on carbohydrate management, medication support and building healthy habits. My goal is to empower you with the tools to take control of your health, one meal at a time and at your own pace. I can combine a variety of dietary approaches—from low-carbohydrate and Mediterranean to plant-based—and adjust goal metrics to fit realistically into your life.

My philosophy is simple: long-term results don’t come from cutting out entire food groups or following rigid plans. They come from balanced blood sugar, adequate nourishment, and strategies tailored to your preferences, lifestyle, and medical needs. Everything I teach is meant to be implemented in real life and maintained long after the scale changes.

I provide clear-cut strategies needed for those who want to focus on the numbers and action plans, but I am equally dedicated to supporting the emotional impact of health complications. We will work together to manage the 'diabetes burnout' and mental fatigue that often come with a chronic diagnosis. I aim to provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment, while helping you to maintain a positive relationship with food and yourself.

For members joining through our partners like Beyond Type 1 or Withings, I specialize in integrating your device data (such as continuous glucose monitor (CGM) trends and activity levels) into personalized meal strategies. I am deeply committed to helping those with Type 2 Diabetes find a balanced relationship with food while improving metabolic health.

I look forward to meeting you and creating a customized approach with you!
