Jake Joa, RD
Background
My name is Jacob and I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) with a Masters in Nutrition and Wellness. I have a background in acute and long-term clinical settings. Additionally, I have experience in nutrition counseling, weight loss, nephrology, diabetes, food allergies, athletics and adult/geriatric nutrition. My focus is to provide evidence-based nutrition counseling to assist those seeking to improve their health.
My interest in nutrition began to grow when I became a college athlete. Wanting to increase my performance, I turned my love for athletics to a passion for nutrition. I realized that nutrition not only greatly impacted my performance as an athlete, but impacted my life as a whole. Improving my life through nutritional means has had lasting positive benefits. I now aim to take what I have learned and experienced, to teach and help others. Through sustainable lifestyle changes, behavioral adjustments and balancing physical activity, we can move towards a healthier life physically, mentally and spiritually.

Approach
"My approach as an RD, is to tackle issues WITH my clients. I want to collaborate with my clients to solve problems, help change behaviors and establish goals. Through extensive communication, compassion, personalized approaches and individualized sessions, we will work together. There is no "one diet fits all." Each person should be treated as an individual and each client has their own hurdles. My goal is to assist those in need to the best of my ability. We are a team!"
