Holly Delong, RD

Hello! My name is Holly, and I would love to work with you. I became a dietitian after my own difficult journey with weight, poor gut health, anxiety, depression, frequent infections, and hair loss. I was diagnosed with PCOS, hypothyroidism, interstitial cystitis, and clinical depression.  After going from doctor to doctor and being given no real answers, but plenty of prescriptions, I decided there needed to be a better way. Through working with a functional medicine dietitian, I was able to uncover the root causes of my issues and support my body to heal itself. I went from feeling barely alive to truly thriving. I felt and looked better in my late 30s then I did in my early 20s! I couldn’t believe my transformation. I thought I was doomed for a life of medication side effects and feeling terrible. By using food as medicine and targeted tests, I was able to reverse every single one of my problems and come off all medications. Suddenly, my diagnoses that felt like a life sentence, meant nothing. This experience changed my life and I knew I needed to help others discover the power of functional medicine. I decided to become a dietitian and start my own private practice where I could help people who experience the same disappointment with conventional solutions. Since becoming a dietitian, I have realized my dream - to help others heal themselves and find peace with food. I am fortunate to see remarkable transformations every day. I have helped people who couldn’t lose weight for years, finally do so. I have seen people who couldn’t eat anything without symptoms go on to live symptom free with no dietary restrictions. I have seen women struggling with depression and anxiety, find freedom and joy. I feel truly grateful to be a witness to these changes and feel passionate about improving healthcare in this country. I specialize in gut health, nutritional psychiatry, autoimmune conditions, and metabolic health (weight, PCOS, cholesterol, blood sugar). I have a knack for investigating all the factors that affect our health and designing a plan that is doable, sustainable, and transformational. I have a background in Psychology and am passionate about the mind-body connection. My approach is truly holistic and integrates many different modalities. I have certifications and/or advanced training in intuitive eating, FODMAP diet, SIBO, and mental health. My goal is to guide you in successfully making change and feeling good about it. I have extensive knowledge and experience using specialized supplements and nutraceuticals to utilize natural medicine to its fullest power. In today’s world, taking care of oneself can feel confusing, overwhelming, and nearly impossible. I aim to show you it doesn't have to be this way! If you are feeling stress around your health and diet, let me show you that healing your body can be one of the most enjoyable things you will ever do.
