I'm Natalie Johnson, founder of Iron Roots Nutrition, LLC and a Texas native who was inspired to study nutrition after adopting a plant-based lifestyle over 15 years ago. I've always loved physical activity—whether it was gymnastics, figure skating, hiking, soccer, tennis, or weightlifting—and I'm driven by challenge. Becoming a Registered Dietitian was a sustainable way for me to live and help others experience the benefits of plant-based nutrition in a way that fits their life.
I earned my BS in Nutrition from UT Austin (hook 'em horns!) and completed my supervised practice at Meredith College in Raleigh, NC. I became an RD in 2021 and focus on sports nutrition and plant-based lifestyles, helping active individuals optimize performance and recovery.
Through Iron Roots Nutrition, LLC, I support clients in aligning their nutrition with their values and goals—whether they’re looking to improve athletic performance, enhance recovery, or explore the benefits of plant-based eating.
In my spare time, I enjoy being in nature, immersing myself in music, traveling, eating spicy food, and exploring new cultures through cuisine. I'm always seeking adventure—whether through travel, food, or meaningful conversations—and I bring that same curiosity and energy into helping clients explore new ways to thrive.
"I help active, plant-curious clients build strength and confidence through practical, personalized nutrition. My approach is collaborative, empowering, and rooted in science—but also realistic and flexible. I bring warmth, curiosity, and a light-hearted touch to every session, and I support progress at your pace while helping you overcome real-life barriers with sustainable strategies."
