Christine Russell

Christine has over 30 years of professional experience in dietetics, primarily in the areas of eating disorders, disordered eating, emotional eating, weight loss/gain/stabilization, bariatric surgery, weight loss medications, and diabetes. She recently became a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES) and has also obtained a Certificate in Adult Weight Management from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Her passion lies in helping others make peace with food so they may finally enjoy a life free from food control, guilt, and shame.

Christine is committed to providing a supportive, solution-oriented, empowering approach; meeting patients where they are in their health journey. She prides herself on applying a non-diet approach using intuitive eating principles. Christine likes to bring a sense of fun, humor, and warmth into her sessions as she works on peeling back years of unsubstantiated nutrition “facts” and body size “ideals”.

During your first session, Christine’s goal is to get to know you better. She'll ask many questions regarding your medical history, nutrition habits, and goals. Christine will drill down, asking deeper questions to help uncover behaviors and thoughts you may not discovered on your own. From there, a comprehensive plan tailored to your individual needs will be developed.
