Top Nutrition Coaching - Dietitian Biography I Annette Snyder

Approach to care

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with over 19 years of nutrition counseling experience. I have a master’s degree in human nutrition and am a Board Certified Specialist in Obestiy & Weight Management (CSOWM), though I also utilize the Intuitive Eating approach where needed. I specialize in working with clients who have a history of chronic dieting and are seeking to make lasting habit changes or repair their relationship with food, as well as those seeking help for gut issues, heart health, diabetes and pre-diabetes, and menopause. My extended family has dealt with an extensive number of digestive issues, from Crohn’s disease to ulcerative colitis to eosinophilic esophagitis to IBS. Seeing them struggle and knowing that nutrition can help improve their lives, and the lives of clients dealing with similar issues, is what drives me to push harder. I have heard so many stories of people feeling unheard at the doctor’s office; granted, medical providers have limited time with patients. I make it clear to my clients: I have the time and I will listen. No one should need to suffer and feel like they’re dealing with their health challenges on their own.

Hobbies

I'm a fan of having time to myself--it's how I recharge. I enjoy listening to podcasts about history and science, watching 'old' movies (especially from the 90s), walking outside, doting on our pets, relaxing in my backyard hammock, and baking bread from scratch.

More About This Dietitian

I aim to provide a welcoming, non-judgmental environment, and assume nothing about eating habits or food history until I’ve heard your story. I believe there are no “good” vs “bad” foods; food has no agenda. I believe it’s important to provide the ‘why’ behind common nutrition issues and how food choices affect them. We set realistic, sustainable, achievable goals along the way, according to what you are ready for. Nutrition should not be a mystery, and I am here to help unpack it with you.

"This Dietitian helped me get my life back”

Gia M.

I worked with Annette after I was not able to recover from food poisoning. Annette was a tremendous wealth of invaluable knowledge and she helped me understand what foods would trigger stomach issues. She was also able to advise me on how best to actually heal. Before I met Annette, I was quite sick, having lost 40 lbs in about 3 months after getting food poisoning and i was left unable to eat most foods. While doctors prescribed medication, they did not have the capability to advise on nutrition like Annette did. I started seeing improvement with Annette In about 2 weeks after enduring months of agony, tests and different doctors. Annette really knows what she is talking about and I reccomend her wholeheartedly.

annette has been so wonderful to work with. she helps to educate me on a day to day basis about any dietary concerns or symptom management questions that i have. she reassures my worries throughout the process, and helps me feel supported when i reach out. she takes the time to read my journal entries, and follows up on their content during my sessions or in the comments. she's mindful about the process and takes things slowly, which i feel has been effective so far. she's helping me make gradual change and investigate the root of the problems that i have. having only worked with GI doctors before and never a dietician, i have really felt seen and heard throughout this process, and appreciate the accessibility when it comes to reaching out to Annette on a day to day basis.

Rachel

Working with Annette feels like having a true friend on my wellness journey. She has taught me a great deal and I appreciate everything I've learned from her, but more than that I leave every interaction with her feeling supported and powerful.
