About Nourishing You
who we are
My Story
Meet Melissa Pipkin, RDN
“I have over two decades of experience as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist in a variety of health care settings, I love helping people find a happy and healthy relationship with food. Nourishing YOU Nutrition was founded so that I can use a holistic approach to nutrition education. When you work with me, I don’t just take into account your diet—I look at all the components that comprise your life: sleep, stress, exercise, environment, lifestyle, health, etc. Looking at these factors allows me to best figure out what exactly is going on and from there develop a personalized nutrition plan that is completely tailored to your specific needs.”
Melissa understands that access to healthy and nutritious foods is a privilege to many. This past year was especially challenging. Many more families and children experienced food insecurity and hunger. Melissa is committed to doing what she can to make a positive impact by volunteering at a local food bank on a weekly basis and giving 10% of her net profits to Kids Aid each quarter.
I Work With You to Create a Custom Nutrition Plan, Menus, and More!

My Process
I assess where you are now.
What are you eating? What are you NOT eating? Your – activity level, hydration, medications, sleep, stress, supplements, budget/access to food, goals and more – it’s about YOU!
I figure out what your body needs.
You need more than a list of “eat this, not that”. One size does not fit all – let’s figure out what you need.
I share the roadmap with you.
We work together to develop an approachable, realistic and delicious plan.
We make choices together, track and adjust the plan to meet your better health goals!
I meet you where you are and we make adjustments together ,step by step, to get you to your better health goal.
