Your Geriatric Nutritionist.

Welcome to The Geriatric Dietitian! We’re so glad you are here.

The Geriatric Dietitian is your go-to-resource for nutrition that supports health, independence, and confidence in aging. Whether you are an older adult, caregiver, family member, or healthcare provider, this website is full of information to help you.

At The Geriatric Dietitian, we believe that every older adult deserves to live with health, dignity, and joy. Nutrition is powerful- it can preserve independence, prevent decline, and bring comfort at every stage of aging. But food is never just about nutrients. It’s about love, connection, and the freedom to enjoy life’s moments without unnecessary restriction.

We empower older adults (and their caregivers) with knowledge, confidence, and choice- because food should support, not control. We believe in independence: helping people stay strong, mobile, and capable of living life on their own terms.

And we honor the whole person- body, mind, and spirit- and recognize the value of collaboration. True care comes when the whole healthcare team and families work together to support older adults in every dimension of health.

Above all, we lead with love and compassion. We celebrate the enjoyment of food, the dignity of every individual, and the grace of aging well. This is more than nutrition- it’s a movement to uplift, empower, and care for older adults in the way they deserve.
