Alyssa Broadwater - Nutritionist

About Alyssa

After working in the nutrition space as a private practice dietitian for several years, I started to realize how much the conventional recommendations leave us hanging when it some to fertility, prenatal, and postpartum nutrition. This is arguably the time in life when nutrition matters most but few providers talk much about nutrition at all. At most, you may received a handout on what foods to avoid. But that leaves you not knowing what to actually eat. Because our current recommendations on prenatal nutrition are lacking, I went head first into the literature to learn more about this topic. Unfortunately, it’s not one we learned much about in my nutrition classes! I realized I loved working with this population and wanted to help women and couples on their journey to having a healthy baby. In addition to pregnancy related nutrition, I also specialize in eating disorders so I want to make food non stressful and pleasurable again. Food shouldn’t be a chore. Food is not just fuel, it is our way to show love, to connect with others, to change our quality of life, and to impact the future health of our children (and even grandchildren). I am passionate about helping people sift through the plethora of nutrition information that can be found on the internet to refocus on what is most specific to them and their circumstance. I strive to continually learn and better my practice in order to bring the best advice possible to my clients.

Initial Nutrition Counseling Appointment

Your first appointment is 75 minutes. One-on-one appointments are available in person or online. Each sessions is based on providing you with personalized nutrition counseling to reach your goals. After talking about what you want out of our sessions together, we’ll go over any medical history, medications, and look at your current eating habits. I’ll take a diet history (what you eat) as well as looking at how you eat. And then we’ll come up with a plan to help you reach your goals, answer your questions and make sure you’ve got everything you need to work on until our next session. I may suggest functional nutrition testing that helps us get to the root cause of your problems instead of playing whack-a-mole with symptoms and makes sure your nutrition plan is as individualized as possible If insurance is being used, the initial appointment may be limited to 1 hour due to the rules of certain insurance companies

$120 USD · Flat rate

Follow-up Nutrition Counseling Appointment

45 minutes At your follow up visit we check in on how you’re going with the advice given in the previous session. This helps me tailor the recommendations to what’s working (or not) for you as an individual. Everyone’s different! Follow up appointments can help us address any issues that change or come up during your pregnancy, make adjustments, and help you have a healthy and enjoyable pregnancy.
