Karin Smith, RD

Hello! My name is Karin Smith. I’m a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist and a Certified Lactation Specialist. I am also a mom and passionate about helping you find joy in eating while meeting your nutrient needs. I am a plant-based eater and I believe eating more plants is the way to health, but I won’t force them down your throat. My hobbies include gardening, hiking, and spending time with my family and friends. 

​

I worked as a dietitian for 3 years serving pregnant and postpartum moms, infants, and children who join the WIC program. I love to serve families and help them navigate food choices that will lead to life-long health. 

​

If you are struggling with breastfeeding, please discuss with me.  I can also help you navigate the world of formulas and narrow down which ones to discuss with your doctor. 

​

If you are planning for introducing foods to your infant and you are struggling to sort through all the information out there, please book an appointment with me. 

​

If you are struggling to make meals for picky eaters, I can help you come up with a plan.  

​

During my dietetic internship I spent time working with Full Plate Living, a weight-loss program focusing on plant foods. If you are vegan or vegetarian, or want to become one, I can assist you in creating a balanced meal plan for your health goal. Please tell me it is your goal to eat more plant-based so that we can focus our visit on that. 

​

One of my favorite volunteer activities is leading health programs in my church. I love the one about beating diabetes. It is fun to see people discover and take healthy steps to manage and even lower their A1C. 

​

As someone who has lived abroad, I try to bring cultural sensitivity into my work. Just tell me what you like to eat so I can get to know your unique food culture. 

​

I won’t talk about faith unless you bring it up, but I am here if you do. Please feel free to share anything with me that has to deal with your journey with food. 

​

I believe eating good is one of the keys to feeling good. It made a difference in my life and I want to share that with you too.
