Background

Meet Ruthanne, RD

With over 30 years of experience as a registered dietitian, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside clients in every stage of life—supporting athletes in sports nutrition, guiding patients with renal concerns, and, most of all, helping individuals transform their lives through bariatric care and long-term weight loss success.

When we work together, you can expect compassionate, individualized support. My sessions are about more than just meal plans—they’re about equipping you with tools, strategies, and encouragement so you can feel confident, empowered, and capable of lasting change. I believe in building relationships that help my clients not just meet goals, but thrive in every part of their lives.

Much of my career has been dedicated to bariatrics and weight management, including years of leading weight loss support groups where I witnessed the incredible courage and perseverance of clients committed to change. These experiences shaped the way I practice today: with patience, empathy, and a deep respect for each client’s unique journey.

I first became a dietitian because I believe it’s my God-given mission to help people become the healthiest and most confident version of themselves. Nothing brings me more joy than working one-on-one and seeing clients grow, flourish, and embrace their lives with renewed strength and confidence.

Outside of work, I’ve always loved giving back—my time as a Peace Corps volunteer was one of the most formative experiences of my life. These days, my weekends are filled with family, especially cheering on my grandsons at their flag football games. Those moments remind me of the importance of health, vitality, and being present for the ones we love.

Jane completely changed how I think about food. She’s patient, knowledgeable, and explains things in a way that actually makes sense.
