My name is Natasha Foreman and I'm a Registered Dietitian based out of Dallas Texas. I obtained my bachelor's degree from Prairie View A&M University and have been a dietitian 9 years working in acute care hospitals, long term acute care hospitals, rehabs, skilled nursing facilities, and nursing homes. During my experience I learned with any nutrition plan or intervention it must be catered to a patient's demographics and cultural preferences. I pride myself on being a black dietitian who seeks to educate on culturally specific foods while also providing evidenced based practice to make long term lifestyle changes. I'm also extremely passionate about community nutrition and eradicating food deserts, which prompted me to obtain my master's degree in public health in 2023. I sit on the board of non profits with missions to create community gardens in underserved communities. My approach is culturally specific and inclusive, while still using evidenced based practices to inspire life-style changes. Natasha Foreman provides consultations primarily in English.

- Registered Dietitians (RDs or RDNs) have completed a rigorous academic program, including a supervised practice, and passed a national exam.
