Hi, my name is Zach! I grew up in a small-town and it’s because of these small-town values that I decided that I wanted to do something where I could help others. I graduated from East Carolina University with a Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and Dietetics and a Master’s degree in Nutrition Science. I am a Registered Dietitian and Licensed Dietitian and I have been a dietitian for 2.5 years. My work experience includes working at a local outpatient clinic that provided specialized care for patients with various concerns including general weight loss, diabetes, gastrointestinal health, and bariatric surgery to name a few.
Because of my outgoing personality, I realized very early on that I wanted to work in some sort of out-patient setting where I would be able to develop a relationship with my clients. From our sessions, you can expect several things: someone who truly cares about you, someone who will listen to your concerns, and someone who is a partner along your journey to better overall health and a better overall life. As a dietitian, I seek to help clients realize that good quality nutrition is the best medicine and a healthy lifestyle is attainable for all.
As your dietitian, we will establish that there is no such thing as an “easy fix” to healthier eating and that making changes is all about progress, not perfection. You can expect to learn about the difference between “diets” and healthier eating, the various food groups, and the importance of eating properly to fuel our bodies, to just name a few. We will examine your current eating habits and make appropriate changes to improve your health and achieve your goals.
Outside of work you can find me spending time with my wife, son, and our two dogs. I enjoy all things sports and am an avid fan of the Green Bay Packers and the ECU Pirates.
