ABOUT ME
Experienced. Credentialed. Supportive.
My name is Brittany, and I am a Registered Dietitian. Originally from sunny California now residing in Denver, Colorado. I am passionate about food and nutrition and love to help others live a healthier and happier life. I enjoy cooking, creating recipes, eating delicious and nutritious meals, food photography, and spending time with my family. I have spent many years working in hospitals helping people manage their health with proper medical nutrition therapy. Now I enjoy working more closely with my clients to help them fulfill their nutritional goals.
EDUCATION AND BACKGROUND
I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) credentialed through the Commission on Dietetic Registration by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
I have a Bachelors of Science Degree in Clinical Nutrition from the University of California, Davis and completed my dietetic internship at New York Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan, the teaching hospitals of Cornell and Columbia, which I later worked at.
I started my career as a clinical dietitian and transitioned into private practice in 2016 to work more closely with my clients.
What is the difference between a Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist?
The term "nutritionist" is not legally regulated and anyone can call themselves a nutritionist regardless of their education level or expertise. A Registered Dietitian or Registered Dietitian Nutritionist has completed extensive training and education in the field of nutrition. Including holding a bachelors degree in nutrition, completing an extensive supervised internship at a healthcare facility and completing a rigorous examination to become credentialed.

I am a Board Certified Specialist in Renal Nutrition (CSR), from the Commission on Dietetic Registration. I have a strong interest in kidney disorders and nutrition management. Kidney disease has many obstacles and good nutrition is crucial for its prevention, management and treatment.
I have published several articles in the Journal of Renal Nutrition, have helped with chapter revisions in kidney nutrition textbooks, and I am a national speaker on kidney nutrition. I am also the current Chair for the National Kidney Foundation Council on Renal Nutrition, Spring Planning Committee as well as a work group leader for The Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics Renal Practice Group & The National Kidney Foundation Council on Renal Nutrition for the National Renal Diet.
