Carolyn Anderson, RD, CDCES
Diabetes, kidney health, and heart health
Get to know Carolyn
- Outside of work: exploring new trails with her husband and little girl, traveling (international or a quick weekend away), playing tennis, and trying local foods wherever she goes
- Morning drink: not coffee! A smoothie with strawberries, banana, spinach, protein powder, and Greek yogurt. Her advice: never put an apple in a smoothie. It’s a texture thing.
- Current food obsession: fresh bagels and berries
- If she were a vegetable: broccoli, because they look like tiny trees and she loves being in the forest
- Surprising fact: People often think she’s reserved, but she loves an adrenaline rush. She’s been skydiving, cliff jumping, and has swum with sharks without a cage.
Carolyn helps people with diabetes, kidney disease, and heart conditions turn nutrition advice into habits that fit real life.
Carolyn became a dietitian after noticing how much food affected the way she felt day to day. She’s fascinated by how everyday food choices can help manage chronic illness and improve lab values, and she brings that curiosity to every session as a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist.
What she loves most about 1:1 counseling is time. Unlike a hospital or clinic setting, her sessions never feel rushed. She can ask about your week, your challenges, and your wins, and figure out what truly motivates you. Carolyn was drawn to Dietitian Group for its non-diet approach and because talking with the team and clients feels like talking with family.
Working with Carolyn starts with small, simple goals that build momentum and confidence. She connects nutrition education to the real situations you’re facing, celebrates every win, and helps you find what works for your lifestyle so it’s easier to stick with. By the end, you’ll feel confident making food choices that support your health, and you’ll know enough not to fall for the nutrition advice you see on social media.
Her style is simple: listen first, then problem-solve together. She wants every client to feel like they have a friend they can talk to about anything nutrition-related. No question is too silly or too simple.
“It’s okay to eat carbohydrates if you have diabetes. Please eat carbohydrates. Your body needs them for energy, and they’re delicious!”
