About

Cindy Crowninshield, RD, LDN

My ideal patient is someone who wants to learn about clean eating and healthy ingredients to put into AND onto their body and how just one ingredient can promote health or disease. For example, spinach or chicken may be toxic to my patient but healthy to someone else. Through customized nutrition treatment plans, genetic testing, application of Chinese medicine (when clinically appropriate), and meal planning my patients learn how to eat compatible, real foods for their body to eliminate the source of symptoms and health issues.

I help patients with GI disorders, food allergies/sensitivities/intolerances, inflammatory diseases, autoimmune disorders, and weight management. A good day for my patient would be surviving the day without pain, dizziness, digestive issues, or bathroom issues.

I became a dietitian because for 40+ years, I have dealt with symptoms and health issues that are directly tied to food. By eating compatible foods for my body, I learned how to eliminate the source of my symptoms and health issues. I teach patients how to manage or eliminate their issues simply and realistically.
