Melanie Berdyck, RD
Background
Thank you for taking the time to learn about me! My name is Melanie Berdyck, and I am a registered dietitian with 16 years of experience. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Dietetics from Eastern Michigan University and a Master's in Applied Nutrition from the University of New England.
I hold certifications as a Specialist in Obesity and Weight Management and as a Diabetes Care and Education Specialist. I am also passionate about fitness and staying active. I am a Certified Personal Trainer through the American College of Sports Medicine and a Group Fitness Instructor through the American Council on Exercise.
My goal as a dietitian is to provide practical support, meet you where you are, and celebrate your big and small accomplishments. There are no restrictions or guilt; I aim to be supportive and encouraging! We are all human, and our successes may vary from day to day, and that’s perfectly okay!
My wellness philosophy is that small changes can have tremendous results. Everyone is at a different point in their journey. Some people can make multiple adjustments, while others might feel that one change is more than enough. We are all human and have our favorite foods, triggers, and preferences. No matter where you are in your wellness journey, I'm here to support and celebrate small achievements!

Approach
"What drew me to the field of dietetics was witnessing the personal journey of a close family member and the significant impact that small lifestyle changes, such as increased movement and behavior modifications, had on my loved ones, including myself. I understand how tempting treats can be, and it can be easier to be motivated to get moving on certain days. I'm with you! I'm here to support you along your journey and ready to celebrate accomplishments, big or small! "
