Health Professionals near Alexander County, NC

Hi, I'm Megan! I am a double Board Certified Registered Dietitian and Specialist in Renal Nutrition. I specialize in kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, weight loss, maternal nutrition, and general nutrition.

Acupuncture is for someone who is open to receiving treatment and is committed to their personal health and growth. It is important that a person who receives acupuncture is willing to put the time and effort into healing his or her body through alternative medicine. Acupuncture has amazing healing properties and takes equal efforts on both the acupuncturist’s and the client’s part to maximize treatment success. I treat a wide variety of health issues such as pain, anxiety, infertility, food sensitivities, and seasonal allergies. I also specialize in pediatric health issues for infants to adolescents.

My goal is to meet people where they are, and aid them in building a sustainable relationship with food and movement. I educate on how improving their nutrition can improve their mental and emotional health along with their physical well-being. I focus on "Improvement, not perfection!" As a certified group fitness instructor for over 22 years, I am able to help clients design a movement plan that works for them. While using a H.A.E.S, and intuitive eating approach, they are able to enjoy the journey of improvibg their relationship with food and movement.

Does any of this sound like you? You desperately want to lose weight and feel good in your body. You know you need to make nutrition and lifestyle changes, but you feel overwhelmed. You've tried so many times before, you wonder if change is even possible for you. You feel like every time you make “good” choices, it only lasts a few days before your cravings lead you back to your usual habits, and you wish you could be in control around food. You’re confused and frustrated by conflicting information and wonder what you should be eating. You know you need a plan that you can stick to, a plan that is both effective AND enjoyable.

Healing Nutrition provides a positive and sustainable relationship with food and your body. Whether you are seeking weight management, blood sugar control, discovering the root cause of GI distress, addressing food sensitivities, or meal planning, my passion is helping you achieve your wellness goals and to feel your best.

I work with those who are struggling with disordered eating patterns, eating disorders, who have poor relationships with food and body, and who are looking for a client centered, holistic approach to food while ditching diet culture and black and white thinking. I hope to help folks find sustainable approaches to food and movement and empower them to take care of their bodies, no matter the size or shape. I hope to shift your thinking from short term approaches to approaches that will last a lifetime.

Through my practice, Food Full Circle, I strive to help you heal your relationship with food and nourish your body through weight-neutral, personalized nutrition counseling. Taking a holistic (whole-person/whole-picture) approach is crucial for meeting health & wellness goals. I incorporate mindfulness principles as well as integrative & functional nutrition in order to help people from all walks of life optimize their health. This is nutrition for every BODY, full-circle. If you find yourself constantly thinking about food, always counting calories, or shaming yourself when you eat certain foods, I'd love to help!
