Background
I’m Shandi Trout, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) currently working toward my doctorate in clinical nutrition. With 12 years of experience as a chef, I bring a unique perspective to my nutrition practice, now focusing on dietetics with a special emphasis on gut health. My journey has led me through diverse experiences, including working in hospitals, long-term care, and with women, infants, and children. I’m deeply passionate about taking a natural, holistic approach to health and wellness, tailoring my recommendations to meet the unique needs of each individual.
Having been on my own health journey, I understand how frustrating it can be. I want to be your support, and I don’t believe one solution works for everyone. My approach is to tailor my recommendations to your needs and goals, helping match your lifestyle to what will help you feel your best. My goal is to empower you with the knowledge and tools to take control of your health in a sustainable way. Whether you're looking to improve gut health, manage a specific condition, or simply lead a healthier life, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan that feels right for you.
I am married to an amazing school principal and have five beautiful daughters, each of whom came to us at different times in my life: one biological, one adopted, and three exchange daughters from around the world. I love to travel, explore new cities, and embrace the beauty of each season. I enjoy theater, music, and trying new things. Above all, I believe in listening to you, understanding how you are feeling, and using that information to uncover and address the root cause of your health concerns.
