Background
Hi, I’m Megan Smith, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with over 10 years of experience in diverse areas of nutrition care. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Dietetics from James Madison University and have since worked across clinical, outpatient, and private practice settings. My mission is to help you feel your best—inside and out—through practical, personalized nutrition rooted in evidence-based care.
In our sessions, you can expect to feel safe, supported, and motivated. I create a nonjudgmental space where your goals matter and your voice is heard. Together, we’ll build realistic, sustainable habits that reflect your life, preferences, and long-term vision. Whether you're looking to optimize your health, prevent chronic illness, or navigate nutrition during complex medical conditions, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
I specialize in working with adults managing chronic kidney disease (CKD), hypertension, congestive heart failure (CHF), prediabetes, and those using GLP-1 medications. I also deeply enjoy working with high-functioning individuals—entrepreneurs, busy professionals, and wellness-seekers—who want to stay energized, healthy, and aligned for the long haul. My approach is plant-forward, mindful, and holistic, with a strong focus on behavior change, whole food nutrition, and longevity.
On a more personal note, I was born and raised in Northern Virginia and still call this area home. I grew up playing sports and fell in love with wellness, beauty, and nutrition as a teen—reading magazines like Women’s Health and Self cover to cover. My passion deepened when my dad was diagnosed with melanoma that later spread to his brain. That experience shaped my belief that nourishing the body is not just about looking good—it’s about protecting your future.
Today, my core values are health, vitality, and longevity. I truly LOVE what I do and consider it an honor to partner with people on their health journey. If you’re ready to feel empowered, understood, and inspired in your relationship with food, I’d love to work with you.
