I am proficient in individualizing Nutrition Interventions and Personal Exploration to achieve Optimum Health using Food as Medicine in a Patient Centered Core. My top areas of expertise are eating disorders, gut health, mind-body nutrition, and culinary artistry.
At the onset of my clinical practice, I sought out professional training and experts who specialized in Eating Disorders and broadened my skills while pursuing a private practice in this field. In 2015, I initiated an intensive course of study and training that certified me as an Integrative and Functional Certified Practitioner (IFNCP). Now, after over 35 years of professional practice, I am still excited about understanding how the Body, Mind and Spirit work collectively. My practice uses a Whole Body approach and I have many tools in my toolbox that enable my unique clients to find their way to optimum Well-Being.
Hi! My passion for nutrition started at fifteen while working at a health food store. My eyes were opened to how food has such an impact on our bodies. Seeing people improve their lives and overall happiness is a driving force for me.

Hello, I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist who became interested in functional medicine during my undergraduate years at UNC Pembroke as a Biology major. I was amazed at how important of a role nutrition plays alongside lifestyle factors to prevent or manage chronic diseases and conditions. Feeling compelled to study medicine in my parent’s footsteps, I was not satisfied with how little nutrition education I would receive in a conventional medical school. This led me to my journey to become a dietitian.
I received my Master’s Degree in Nutrition from the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s coordinated dietetic program with a concentration in Lifestyle Management and Disease Prevention. Fun fact: I completed the majority of my dietetic internships at Empowered Nutrition with my amazing preceptor, Erin!
My strengths as a dietitian include an enthusiasm and passion for nutrition, empathy, humor, and cultural competence.
Hello, I am a military veteran and Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. I have over 14 years of healthcare experience, which started with helping military aircrew and special forces optimize their performance through nutrition.
Throughout my own health journey, I’ve felt frustrated and neglected by the traditional medical community. So, I transitioned to the world of integrative and functional nutrition. I have since helped thousands of patients experience the relief of finding the root cause of their illnesses, and resolving them with individual nutrition plans.
Seeing my patients’ success made me passionate about functional medicine. However, I was still frustrated by the lack of access and high cost. As a result, I pursued my license to become an Integrative and Functional Certified Nutritional Practitioner. Later, I co-created one of the nation’s first insurance-based functional medicine clinics.
Hi! I’m Jessica Dart, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). Looking back, my life has always revolved around food. Growing up, my dad owned a restaurant, and I spent 10 years in the industry myself - managing restaurants and leading teams at The Walt Disney Company. While I loved the fast-paced world of hospitality, I became fascinated by the deeper impact of food, how it fuels our bodies, influences our health, and shapes our well-being. That passion led me to functional medicine and a career dedicated to helping others understand the connection between nutrition and health.
I specialize in pediatric nutrition, gut health, and women’s wellness, focusing on gastrointestinal conditions. As a pediatric dietitian, I love helping babies and young children thrive during their most crucial stages of development. By taking a functional nutrition approach, I look beyond symptoms to uncover root causes, empowering families with sustainable strategies for long-term wellness.
