Weight Management Dietitians

Whatever your reason for seeking weight management support, Doherty Nutrition is happy you found us. Our highly trained Registered Dietitian Nutritionists specialize in sustainable and realistic weight management goals, both at our brick-and-mortar locations in Texas and Illinois and through online telehealth in many other states.

Should You Get Nutrition Counseling for Weight Management?

Even though research shows that over two-thirds of Americans will pursue a diet, more than 95% of them fail or experience weight gain equal to or more than their starting weight. This isn’t because of a lack of willpower or some other personal failure — it is because most diets focus on losing weight instead of sustainable habits that promote their health goals.

When you work with a registered dietitian for weight management, you’ll learn about nutrition, mindfulness and other healthy behaviors that contribute to your betterment in the long term. At Doherty Nutrition, we empower people to take control of their health and achieve sustainable, lifelong changes that promote overall well-being.

Our Philosophy

At Doherty Nutrition, we believe that “health” looks different for everyone, and we celebrate those differences with our guiding principles.

Evidence-based practice

Rather than imposing rigid rules or pushing you toward unrealistic expectations, we use evidence-based practices and our expertise to collaboratively create a wellness plan that works for you.

Health at Every Size® (HAES)

We embrace the set point weight model, which recognizes that each person's body has its own natural weight range.

Holistic perspective

By incorporating practices such as nutrition education, mindful, intuitive eating, physical movement, and mental health care, we help shift away from the restrictive mindsets that drive us to diet — and focus simply on living better.

Tailored to you

We value your input and are committed to supporting your personal health journey, helping you to achieve your goal and become the best version of yourself.

How Can Our Registered Dietitians Help With Weight Management?

To help you reach your goals in a realistic, sustainable, and enjoyable way, our dietitians take a personalized approach. They consider a range of key factors that impact weight management, using science-based strategies and medical nutrition therapy tailored to your unique needs and lifestyle. Here are the key considerations they focus on:

Weight fluctuations are a natural part of life, shaped by factors like nutrition, sleep, medications, genetics, and culture. These changes can sometimes make us feel either out of control or compelled to control every aspect of our lives. Finding balance amidst these factors is key, and seeking insight from a professional can help you regain perspective, especially when you’re feeling overwhelmed.
