Meet The RDN

Hello, I'm Caitilin Perez, a seasoned Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, credentialed through the Commission on Dietetic Registration, with more than a decade of experience in the dynamic world of dietetics.

My journey to this field was forged through my own personal health struggles since the age of 14, being diagnosed with hypothyroidism, polycystic ovary syndrome, and thyroid cancer.  My passion for guiding individuals toward healthier, happier lives led me on an educational journey that started at Radford University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics.

My commitment to promoting well-being continued with a focused dietetic internship through Wellness Workdays, where I completed over 1,000 hours of experiential learning. This invaluable experience set the stage for my academic pursuits, culminating in a Master's degree in Food and Nutrition from Bowling Green State University.
