Christie Hunter, RD

Growing up watching her mom work as a nurse, Christie always knew she wanted to help people live healthier lives. Her mission with Christie, RD is to empower clients to make changes in order to feel better, with more energy and focus — without taking the pleasure out of food. She encourages clients, "Putting nutrition as the focus can mean making small changes that can equal big results like more energy, lower blood pressure, and improved blood glucose."

Never judgmental, she knows how to keep clients motivated and excited about their progress. And Christie “walks the walk,” finding ways to make healthy living fun and simple.

Creative

There’s no one-size-fits-all nutrition solution. Our bodies are all different, and the demands we place on them vary widely. Christie takes the time to understand your unique situation and goals so she can design a nutrition plan that not only meets your health needs, but is realistic for you to follow.

Real

Christie understands the demands of a busy life that balances work, time with kids, and healthy meals together as a family. She likes to get her family involved with cooking and planning meals. In her free time, Christie enjoys being physically active in a group setting, whether that’s doing a bootcamp class in a gym or walking the neighborhood with her friends and dog.

Christie provides realistic nutrition goals specific to the client’s food preferences and lifestyle. She is friendly, motivating, and encourages exercise. Christie visits one of our large corporate sites and has reversed negative tendencies at that location. It is a pleasure to have her as a colleague!

Christie and her team are always professional, caring, reliable, and knowledgeable. The wellness programs are outstanding and motivating. I know they care deeply about their clients, and they are great to collaborate with.

Julie Dillon, Registered Dietitian

When I met Christie, my goal was to improve my health and make good nutritional changes that would fit into real, day-to-day life. With her good humor and kind honesty, Christie met me where I was and gave me practical, incremental adjustments that were easy to incorporate. She explained why certain changes were important and offered choices instead of rigid rules. Because of her advice, direction and encouragement, I went from someone who avoided all vegetables to someone who voluntarily chooses kale and cauliflower. Her guidance has helped change my perspective and decision-making around my nutrition.

E.T.

Christie Hunter is an outstanding nutritionist. She's professional, knowledgeable and caring. When I interact with her, I always learn something useful about proper nutrition and exercise, not to mention neat recipes and cooking tips. What I like most about Christie is her caring, non-judgmental attitude. When I fall short, she's quick to encourage, not criticize. Before Christie I'd never worked with a nutritionist; however, thanks to her I'm more cognizant of what I'm putting into my body. I would recommend Christie, without hesitation, to anyone looking to improve his or her eating habits and overall health. I feel blessed to have her as my nutritionist.
