Susan Thiell, RD

I bring experience in a wide range of settings, from managing complex nutrition support like tube feeding to working with athletes who want to fuel for performance and recovery. Because I personally eat gluten-free, I understand the challenges of navigating that world and can help you find options that are both safe and enjoyable. I have a B.S in chemistry and marine biology as well as an M.S. in nutrition and dietetics. Nutrition support is a passion of mine, and I hold the advanced CNSC certification. 

When we work together, you’ll get more than a meal plan—you’ll get strategies designed to fit your real life. I’ll meet you where you are, listen closely to your needs, and create a sustainable path forward that makes food feel less stressful and more supportive. Patients often tell me they appreciate my approachable, down-to-earth style and the clarity I bring to an often confusing topic. I completed a one-year culinary training program and can troubleshoot meal prep or other kitchen headaches while teaching you how to fuel properly. 

Outside of work, I love to cook and garden, lift weights, and ride bikes with my daughter. I share my home with two cats, and I bring a bit of international perspective from the years I spent living in Germany. I also speak French, which sometimes comes in handy in connecting with diverse patients. 

Whether you’re here to manage a health condition, improve your energy, or simply feel more confident in your food choices, I’ll partner with you every step of the way—providing clear, practical, and science-based guidance you can trust.
