I have extensive experience monitoring lab work, working with physicians to adjust medications to best accommodate diet and lifestyle, and adapting a personalized diet or meal plan to meet your goals.
I help women struggling with poor energy, digestive issues and frustrating weight gain make targeted nutrition and lifestyle changes to balance hormones, improve gut health and restore their control and confidence. Unlike other providers who use restrictive diets to treat your symptoms, I use a whole body approach reinforced by functional nutrition labs to address the root of the problem and design a specific plan based on your results.

I combine physical nutrition markers like lab work, reported summaries of symptoms and behaviors, individualized meal plans, and educational nutrition tools with mental health strategies based in CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) skills and mindfulness to meet a client where they're at and move them through that point to their goal.
I’m Carly - a RD-N specializing in eating disorders, disordered eating, mental health, & body image. My clients and I work 1:1 at the outpatient level to support their individual health concerns. Not all of my clients have diagnosed eating disorders - some of them have developed habits over the years that they'd like to change, need accountability for their health and wellness goals, or thanks in part to media representations about how we "should" look or "should" eat or "should" exercise, they just got confused along the way of how to relate to their own body. We fix that here.

Meal Plan Nutritionists and Dietitians

What does menu planning involve?

Menu planning is a strategy used by many dietitians to help clients map out their intake for future meals, often with the goal of improving the quality of the client's diet and/or meeting certain nutritional requirements. Depending on the needs of the client, dietitians may prescribe specific foods for clients or suggest serving suggestions for foods, such as encouraging clients to consume a designated amount of protein or vegetables.

How can a dietitian help with menu planning?

A dietitian can help with menu planning by developing a tailored food plan that aligns with a client’s nutritional preferences and goals. The process typically starts with a nutritional assessment to determine the client’s baseline needs based on factors such as age, activity level, and medical conditions. This assessment is particularly useful for clients who are new to tracking their nutrient intake. Dietitians also provide guidance on portion control and optimizing nutrient intake to ensure a balanced diet. Additionally, if the dietitian specializes in a specific area, such as vegetarian diets or nutrition for athletes, they can offer expert advice to create menus that meet those particular needs while maintaining variety and overall nutritional balance.

Who can benefit from menu planning?

Many people can benefit from planning, as it can be both a time-saving and money-saving option that can also promote physical health. When meals are planned out ahead of time, individuals may be less likely to consume unhealthy alternatives or default to getting takeout food, which may be high in calories and sodium. Individuals with specific diet-related chronic conditions may particularly benefit from menu planning for accountability purposes and to ensure that their diet is supportive of their nutrition-related health goals, such as hypertension management or blood sugar regulation.
