Molly RD

Hi Y in Central Maryland members and guests. I am thrilled to be here for you! I have been a registered dietitian for 18 years and counting. I earned my Bachelor’s of Science in Dietetics from University of Delaware (2001) and a Master’s in Human Nutrition from University of Alabama (2021). I have spent most of my career using nutrition as medicine in Maryland hospitals focusing on obesity, cancer, and trauma/rehab, but my passion is fitness, wellness and family health. Aside from nearly 20 years in the field, I am a working-mom of 3 (Girls ages 20, 13, and 2) a wife, and daughter to aging parents. I have education and experience in nutrition but I face all the same challenges that you do.


I am here to provide you with evidence based information about nutrition and to coach you to the healthy life you and your family deserve. If you are working to maximize fitness, raise a healthy family, support a teen athlete, feed a picky toddler, or maintain quality of life for aging family members, I am here to help you.

To start, I will be posting weekly on important topics and answering questions on a monthly basis. Stay tuned for many more exciting opportunities to come.
