Hello and thank you for viewing my profile. My name is Matt, and I have been in the field of dietetics for 8 years. I became interested in nutrition after gaining over 50lbs while working at a restaurant. After trying and failing almost every diet out there, I decided to take a personal nutrition course and fell in love with it. All the while I developed a passion for fitness. I used what I learned to help myself cut weight and compete in grappling competitions and MMA events. I feel like that is a story for another time though. My own weight loss struggles have helped me gain insight to be a successful coach to others in achieving their own goals.
I have practiced dietetics in multiple states and have met many interesting people along the way. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to nutrition counseling. Eating is very personal to all of us. It is ingrained in our personality early on and is incredibly difficult to change. The fact that you are looking for a dietitian is a big step, and I applaud you for taking the initiative.
In the last 6 years, I have worked primarily in dialysis. Helping individuals who have kidney disease, heart disease, hypertension and diabetes. I remain passionate about weight loss, fitness and helping others achieve their goals. I’m eager to learn what drives you and how I can help assist you in your journey.
On a more personal note, I have 6 children under the age of 8. I don’t have many hobbies as you can imagine. I like to exercise and be outside as much as I can. I know firsthand how life sometimes happens, and we all do our best. I look forward to meeting you and working with you to achieve your goals and become the healthiest version of yourself. Thank you for the consideration.
