Hi y’all! I’m Leann John, a registered dietitian nutritionist with more than 20 years of experience. I love helping people uncover the “why” behind their health through food, lifestyle, and genetics. My approach is grounded in functional and integrative nutrition and guided by the belief that every symptom tells a story worth listening to.

This approach moves clients from simply surviving to truly thriving — with personalized nutrition, targeted micronutrient support, and lifestyle adjustments that work with their biology rather than against it. The result is a realistic, sustainable plan that restores balance and confidence, without restriction or overwhelm.

I work with clients navigating hormone and metabolic challenges, thyroid and gut disorders, autoimmune conditions, fatigue, and emotional eating by exploring lab data, lived experience, and daily habits. Each session is a partnership: a space for curiosity, understanding, and clear next steps that support healing at the root.

My journey into nutrition began early, inspired by my family’s complex health history and a deep desire to change our story through food. That same curiosity continues to guide my work today — helping others uncover their body’s unique blueprint for wellness and create meaningful, lasting change.

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me listening to mystery podcasts, experimenting in the kitchen, or spending time with my family in sunny Florida.

I am in-network with several insurances and also accept cash payments.
