James Burns, RD

My name is James and I am a Registered Dietitian. Originally an English teacher, I received my M.S. in Nutrition 2021 after I decided I wanted to use my passion for nutrition to help others. Since then, I have worked primarily with Division 1 Collegiate Athletes. I also have experience in nutrition counseling, weight loss, diabetes, athletics and adult/geriatric nutrition. As a teenager I struggled with my weight, and so I have the utmost empathy for the mental strain this can place on a person. My focus is to provide evidence-based nutrition counseling to assist those seeking to improve their health. My philosophy is that by connecting with my clients on a more personal level, I can provide a higher level of care by working with them in ways that are built around their own realistic habits and goals. My goal with every client is to get them one step closer to their goals every time we meet.

In my spare time I am a parent to two dogs and two cats, and enjoy hiking, cycling, distance running, and playing guitar.
