Whitney is a nutrition expert. Hi, that's me!

I have been in clinical practice for 6 years, averaging care for 40-50 patients per week.

I hold a Masters in Clinical Nutrition from UTSW, with a supporting undergraduate in pre-med & physiology from SMU. I was awarded physiology department Woman of the Year. 

Although I spend 4 days a week as a dietitian and diabetic educator for a top endocrinology group in Dallas, I also run Whitness Nutrition as a full-service nutrition private practice that focuses on holistic nutritional counseling, corporate nutrition and educational support for all health, gender and age profiles.

Whitness Nutrition, that focuses on real-food rooted nutrition with an emphasis on balance, grace & evidence-based facts. Whitness Nutrition delivers personal, one-on-one attention to every patient to develop customized programs based on specific barriers, lifestyle and goals.

Whitness Nutrition incorporates both intuitive eating and functional nutrition in virtual 1:1 sessions with patients. Education always comes first; we cover the basic principles of intuitive eating to move away from titling foods "good" and "bad". We address nutritional deficiencies and their root cause, by taking a deep dive into “feeling better”.  We avoid overarching recommendations like “lose weight” and, “be healthy”. We create strategic action-based interventions to improve energy, mood, fatigue, insulin resistance and hormonal imbalances.

All guidance is based on my persistent commitment to nutritional knowledge and research; a rapidly growing and improving field. Whitness Nutrition focuses on evidence-based research, backed by board-certified licensure and national accreditation. My work experience in medical institutions provides a unique edge with her access to cutting edge research and constant continuing education.

A Personal Note

I found my overwhelming passion for nutrition over the last decade through the decade-long journey of my own nutrition struggles; from disordered eating and the female athlete triad, to nutrition deficiencies, a Celiac diagnosis, food allergies, colitis and the constant stress of American’s “Eat this, Not That!” food industry. It became apparent that, through these struggles, I could educate and inspire the lives of others through both experience and now, expertise.

When I'm not at work (which, as a type A, Enneagram 3, that's often), you'll find me sipping on a cold brew with my bible study girls, or on a run with my husband + puppy Jax. My hobbies include extravagant allergen-free baking, serving at Shoreline City church, reading, joyful movement: boutique fitness and last-minute travel.
