About Me
For the past 8 years, I have worked as a Registered Dietitian in a variety of settings. I was a personal trainer and love to run and do anything outdoors. Eating well gives me the energy to maintain my active lifestyle. Though I initially got into Nutrition to learn how to fuel my body, my focus shifted as my health declined. I was diagnosed with Celiac disease, Lyme disease, SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth), and hypothyroidism. However, because of my own battle, I've learned what a huge role nutrition plays in treatment/recovery! I love working with clients who have these conditions because I've learned first-hand what works and understand the frustration of not knowing what to eat. I also have experience working with G.I. disorders, Eating Disorders, Diabetes management and weight management. Let me help take away the fear and bring enjoyment back to eating as you recover your health.

Expert nutritionists and dietitians are ready to support your every need

Our  team of nutritionists are skilled in numerous specialties. Whether your needs revolve
around sports, weight loss, a chronic illness, or navigating a pregnancy, our professionals are
prepared to provide the right nutritional guidance.
Stress & Sleep
Understanding the intricate relationship between sleep, stress, and weight is crucial for effective weight management, and seeking the expertise of a nutritionist or dietitian specializing in weight loss can be highly beneficial. Inadequate sleep and chronic stress can disrupt hormonal balance, leading to increased levels of cortisol—a stress hormone associated with weight gain. A specialized nutritionist can assess an individual's sleep patterns, stress levels, and overall lifestyle to create a personalized dietary plan that supports quality sleep and stress management.
Behavioral Psychology
The role of behavioral psychology in weight loss is paramount, as it influences habits, food choices, and overall adherence to dietary plans. Seeking the guidance of a nutritionist or dietitian who specializes in weight loss and behavioral techniques can be immensely beneficial. These professionals integrate psychological insights into their approach, helping individuals identify and address emotional triggers, stress-related eating patterns, and other behavioral factors that impact weight. A specialized nutritionist can collaborate with clients to set realistic goals, develop sustainable habits, and cultivate a positive relationship with food.
Lifestyle Mapping
Lifestyle mapping, as an approach to weight loss, involves a thorough examination of an individual's daily routines, habits, and environmental factors to create a personalized plan that aligns with their unique lifestyle. Collaborating with a nutritionist or dietitian experienced in this approach proves invaluable for those aiming to lose weight. A nutritionist can identify potential obstacles to healthy eating and physical activity by analyzing an individual's work schedule, social commitments, and personal preferences.
Personalized Goals
Personalized goals provide clear direction, making the weight loss journey more manageable and realistic. A nutritionist can assess an individual's unique dietary requirements, lifestyle factors, and any underlying health conditions, crafting a plan that is both effective and sustainable. This personalized approach maximizes adherence, motivation, and overall success in achieving weight loss goals, emphasizing the importance of individualized care in the pursuit of a healthier and happier life.
Metabolic Health
Understanding metabolic health is pivotal for effective weight management, and enlisting the guidance of a nutritionist or dietitian can be instrumental in unraveling the complexities of one's metabolism. A specialist in metabolic health can assess individual metabolic rates, hormonal balance, and nutrient utilization, providing valuable insights into how the body processes and stores energy. By tailoring dietary plans to align with the unique aspects of one's metabolism, the nutritionist can optimize nutrient intake, meal timing, and food choices to enhance metabolic efficiency.
Hormonal Imbalances
Hormonal imbalance can significantly impact an individual's ability to lose weight, influencing factors such as metabolism, appetite, and fat storage. Hormones such as insulin, cortisol, and thyroid hormones play key roles in regulating weight, and an imbalance can lead to stubborn weight gain or hinder weight loss efforts. Working with a nutritionist or dietitian who specializes in hormonal health can help with mitigating these challenges by designing a personalized dietary plan to address your unique needs and potential imbalances.
Long Term Support
While short-term interventions may yield initial results, sustained success often requires ongoing guidance and adjustments to address evolving needs and challenges. A nutritionist can provide consistent support, helping individuals navigate dietary changes, overcome obstacles, and maintain motivation over an extended period. Through regular check-ins, dietary assessments, and personalized adjustments, a nutrition expert can tailor strategies to the individual's evolving lifestyle and preferences.
Much More!
Effectively managing your weight involves navigating through numerous factors such as metabolism, hormonal balance, dietary preferences, and lifestyle habits. A weight loss nutritionist understands the intricacies of metabolism, hormonal influences, and the psychological aspects of eating, and can provide targeted guidance on nutrition, portion control, and behavior modification. Collaborating with a weight loss nutritionist or dietitian sets individuals up for success by providing a roadmap that addresses the diverse elements influencing their ability to manage weight effectively.

Benefits of working with a nutritionist vs. going it alone

If you're still unsure whether you could use the help of a nutritionist or not, keep these benefits in mind.

When searching for a registered dietitian, you want to be looking for the best dietitian for you. Here are some of the most important factors to consider during your search.

Greater accountability

When you attempt weight loss or other nutrition-related goals alone, it can be difficult staying dedicated or motivated. When you partner with one of our talented dietitians, however, you have an added layer of accountability. Through their support, guidance, and cheerleading, the right nutritionist can help you stay on track to more confidently reach your goals.

Advice from an expert

When you work with our dietitians, you cut through uncertainty by giving yourself access to the most expert nutrition information possible. Because we accept only 3% of all dietitians who apply to our network, we ensure that every dietitian represents the best that the industry has to offer.

Knowledge that lasts a lifetime

No matter what your reasons for seeking support may be, we offer nutrition education and guidance to last a lifetime. Rather than looking to keep you dependent on our services for years or decades, our dietitians work tirelessly to improve your knowledge and give you the independence you need to become the expert on your own health.

Start with a short holistic health assessment

Free matching service that finds you the right dietitian:

Instead of assigning you to a dietitian at random, we consider every factor of your circumstances, goals, and needs to ensure the perfect match every time. By taking the time to find the right partner from day one, you can rest assured that you'll see real, lasting progress.

Virtual consultations with your expert, at your pace:

Unlike in-person meetings, virtual nutrition counseling sessions allow you to avoid traffic, crowded waiting rooms, or scheduling issues that are all too common with Tampa-based healthcare facilities.

Personalized nutrition and lifestyle plans:

When you trust us with your nutrition goals, our dietitians work to educate you about your symptoms and how to manage them through food. Because they focus on long-term, sustainable results, the meal plans, habit-building, and nutritional advice you receive during each session will follow and support you long after you finish working with Top Nutrition Coaching.

Unlimited messaging and support:

You no longer need to carry the struggle of maintaining healthy eating alone. If you need to reach your dietitian, you can do so with unlimited messaging whenever you need it.

Availability

Unlike in-person providers, you can reach out to your online dietitian whenever you need their support or expertise. In addition to your twelve virtual sessions, our dietitians and customer support team are available 24/7 to help with any questions or concerns you may have. This availability can make the difference between achieving your nutrition-related goals or struggling to find progress.

Qualifications

When you choose the right company, you gain access to a wide selection of expert dietitians. At Top Nutrition Coaching, we maintain a rigorous recruiting process that does all of the research for you. We thoroughly screen each candidate based on their qualifications, eliminating any candidates that don’t meet our specific standards of care. Specifically, each of our dietitians has a degree in nutrition or dietetics, has undergone the required supervised practice program, and typically has countless other certifications and training to help prepare them to serve you. If you choose to work with a nutritionist in your area, you will likely need to do your own research to ensure that whatever dietitian you choose meets your standards.

Reputation

When deciding to trust a company with your health, you want one with a proven track record of helping people achieve better outcomes. With so much online misinformation and confusion about health, it's crucial that you can rely on the information you’re getting and trust that it’s relevant to your health journey and will help you reach and maintain your best level of health. Because of these factors, you should always work with a company that is transparent in the experiences of its customers by sharing customer ratings and reviews on its website.

Experience

Unlike apps or other programs that apply a one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition, our dietitians are experts at developing personalized treatment plans. Whether you want help with managing a specific illness or general health, these plans are carefully crafted to meet your needs. Personalized plans only work, however, when made by an experienced professional. That's why each of our nutritionists must demonstrate a level of experience that involves elements of creativity and resourcefulness to meet each individual where they are.

Get over the Tampa hurdles and get back to health

If you've lived in Tampa, Florida, for any amount of time, you know that our city has its fair share of advantages and disadvantages. When it comes to finding a dietitian, these qualities can have an enormous impact on your success.

Lack of Health Equity

Tampa is a diverse city in many different ways, but unfortunately, it severely lacks health equity. This means that many residents struggle to find equal access to healthcare or health-focused practices.

Certain factors like transportation, neighborhood location, income, and education all play a factor in whether Tampa Bay residents can get adequate healthcare. Fortunately, online dietitian services overcome many of these issues in order to give Tampa residents access to quality nutrition knowledge and wellness plans.

Food desert

A food desert exists in places where it is difficult for residents to find affordable or good-quality fresh food. Since 2020, food deserts have impacted Tampa, Florida, residents in a way that is detrimental to their health. Even worse, many experts expect this trend to continue or worsen in the future.

A nutritionist can help you navigate Tampa’s food deserts, giving you expert advice and meal plans to help you find success in even the most challenging of circumstances.

Poor Transportation Structure

In addition to the lack of health equity and the food deserts in Tampa, a poor transportation structure can also negatively impact a person’s health. Five years into the Sentinel Communities Surveillance Project, Tampa has made some improvements in promoting healthy living for some Tampa residents.

That said, there are still some areas of Tampa that make it very difficult for residents to have access to good nutrition and food. Specifically, lack of adequate public transportation can present challenges for people looking to find better grocery options, attend in-person dietitian meetings, or visit fitness facilities outside their neighborhoods.

Frequently asked questions

What makes an expert nutritionist?

A registered dietitian nutritionist has extensive knowledge of nutrition and how the body interacts with different nutritional sources. Typically, these food and nutrition experts are highly-trained and well-educated professionals with comprehensive knowledge of up-to-date medical studies and information.

How much does a nutritionist cost in Tampa?

There is no set price for working with a nutritionist, regardless of location, and the cost of working with nutritionists in Tampa will vary based on a nutritionist’s expertise and years of experience. The cost could also change depending on your needs, whether they accept insurance, and whether you're part of any corporate wellness programs.

What does a two-week risk-free trial mean?

A two-week risk-free trial means that you have two weeks to work with us to decide if it’s right for you. If, after those two weeks have passed, you decide that the service isn’t for you, you will receive a 100% refund.

What does the matching specialist help with?

A matching specialist combines information from your initial quiz and your intake call, then compares that information to 27 different variables to get a better understanding of your health and objectives. They’ll use this information to match you with a compatible nutritionist that will help you meet your overall goals.

What if I don't like the recommendations a matching specialist provides?

If you're anything less than completely satisfied with your dietitian, simply let our matching specialists know, and they'll get to work finding a better fit. In these cases, they'll ask you to share some information so they can refine their search to fit your needs.

About the first-gen futures scholarship

Scholarship award available for both college and high school students
Being the first in your family to attend college is an inspiring feat, often with its own unique challenges. First-generation students may not have the same guidance in navigating parts of the higher education system as other students, such as the application process, obtaining financial aid, and even what to expect in college itself.

Financial constraints can also be a significant roadblock for such students, which may limit their choices, force them to balance jobs, family responsibilities, and school work all at once, and make the college experience much more stressful.

Despite these struggles, first-generation college students have proven time and again to be extremely resilient, determined, and hard-working. They embody a spirit of ambition and perseverance as they work toward creating the future they want for themselves and their families.

The First-Gen Futures Scholarship aims to recognize and support exceptional students who are overcoming the barriers of being the first in their families to attend college. By providing financial assistance to deserving individuals, we seek to alleviate some financial stress so that these students can focus more on their studies.
