During a nutrition counseling session, a dietitian will review your medical history, and medications, and assess your current eating habits to provide personalized guidance for your nutrition goals.
They provide evidence-based advice and ongoing support to help you make sustainable changes, ensuring you achieve your health goals effectively and comfortably. These sessions are not conducted any differently whether provided in-person or virtually.
Welcome! We are registered dietitians specializing in clinical nutrition and nutrition counseling for all ages.
In addition to our clinical expertise, we are unique in our approach as we counsel our patients utilizing client-centered care using the most effective counselling and coaching strategies.
We also empathize with the challenges that families face (caring for children or elderly adults, busy schedules, etc), and work with you to provide practical solutions to achieve healthier eating habits.
Chelsea Crawford is a Registered Dietitian and proud owner of Fuel For Life, LLC. She started her career in a Children’s hospital managing tube feedings, pre-diabetes, diabetes, picky eating and rare genetic disorders.

Chelsea is well-versed in nutrition for both the pediatric and adult population. Most of her clients seek her out for healthy weight loss, chronic disease management, and support with their child’s nutrition.
Her philosophy: “All foods fit-even when your goal is weight loss but this does mean we have to find the right balance of nutrient dense foods in the diet too. Anyone can love a meal packed with veggies as much pizza, tacos, and a burger- it’s all about how they’re prepared and what they are paired with.”
Fun Fact: Chelsea loves traveling where she spends her time enjoying beautiful landscapes and seeing wild animals in their own environment.
Double Fun Fact: Chelsea also recently opened Lago Vista Fitness Co. Lago Vista Fitness Co. offers group fitness classes for both beginners and experienced fitness enthusiast
Simone Weingarten is certified as an Eating Disorder Specialist with the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals. She helps people learn what works for their bodies to be healthy and confident, as well as learning that nutrition is more than just basic food skills – it can be incorporated into medical nutrition therapy, performance, and lifestyle.
Before Simone got into the field of dietetics, she struggled with the diet culture belief that being “skinny” would lead to happiness. When that didn’t work out, Simone knew her goals needed to change. She wanted to be STRONG, FIT, HEALTHY, and HAPPY! She did research on nutrition and exercise which helped change her life for the better! She helped family and friends learn why fad diets didn’t work, became a certified personal trainer, and created and managed her own fitness business, Simone Ashley Fitness. This was also when Simone started her journey to becoming a Registered Dietitian!
Simone states, “I’m an ’anti-diet and intuitive eating dietitian because I personally struggled as an athlete with eating disorders and diet culture! I missed out on many things because of dieting, and this inspires me every day to show others they don’t have to miss out on things in life either!”
