Registered Dietitians in
Phoenix, Arizona: Nutrition and Wellness from A to Z
“Wellness is an active process through which people become aware of, and make choices toward, a more successful existence.”
— National Wellness Institute
We offer in-person and virtual appointments.
General Nutrition & Wellness
Health is an important component to living a longer and happier life. Whether you want to learn to incorporate nutritious foods, understand how certain foods react in your body, or want to eat more plant based, adopt a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, we can teach you how.
GI Issues and Disease
Gastrointestinal problems such as IBS, Colitis, Crohn’s disease, GERD, bloating, constipation and diarrhea can make the task of daily life difficult. These issues cause malnutrition, daily discomfort, embarrassment and make it difficult to leave the house. Nutrition is a key component to managing these issues.
Diabetes
Diabetes is a disease that affects the production or efficiency of insulin in the body. Unmanaged diabetes creates damage to blood vessels and leads to complications such as blindness, amputations, strokes and heart attacks. By managing your diabetes with diet, exercise and sometimes medication, the damage on the vessels is minimized.
Kidney Disease
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) causes damage to the health of your kidneys, usually over time. When your kidneys are not in good health, it is time to change what you eat and drink so your body will work well and you will feel better.
AZ Dietitians:
Nutrition from A to Z
At AZ Dietitians, we believe that there should be balance in all things. The way we eat should not be different. Food is an important part of our culture and learning to navigate healthy eating can be difficult. We at AZ Dietitians can help you learn how to find balance between the two by utilizing evidenced based research to recommend a treatment just right for you. Because there is not a one size fits all approach, we take into account your lifestyle, labs, food preferences, health risk factors, and other factors. We know change is hard and we can give you the tools and support you need to be successful.

Success Stories
from wellness achievers
“I’ve been working with Wendy for about 9 months. In that relatively short period of time I’ve gone from 14 to 10% body fat, I’m sleeping better, and I feel great. I’m much more educated in regards to the dietary choices I make, which is critical to long term weight management success.
Wendy has a very common sense approach which works well for me. Between her guidance, an app on my phone and solid counseling I was able to change my habits and meet my goals. Wendy is knowledgeable, approachable, and encouraging. She doesn’t shy away from honest feedback which I really like. I need to know where I’m making mistakes so I can stop making them.
I also really like the fact that the long term goal is for the individual to change their eating habits and then become self-sufficient. If, as a patient, you do your part you won’t need counseling and diet tracking apps for life. If you do your part you can manifest real change in 6-12 months.
I highly recommend Wendy and AZ Dietitians. I had a great experience with her and I’m sure you will as well. Thanks Wendy!”
“I started working with Wendy when I was having a few health issues and wanting to lose the extra weight I had been carrying around. Best decision I made for myself. With weekly check-ins and helping me with what foods were best for me, I started to feel like myself again and lost weight in the process. I felt comfortable and knew that my concerns were taken into account and that Wendy truly cared about me. She listens and makes you feel like you are her top priority. I would recommend her to anyone in a heart beat. She changed my life and how I think about my health now.”
“Wendy is one of the most compassionate and friendly people that I have ever met. I met with her after being diagnosed with diabetes. She took all of my concerns and questions in stride, and provided me so much information in my first visit that I took with me and really took to heart. She was so genuinely excited for me when my weight started to drop and I was also genuinely excited to see that someone was so concerned for my well being overall, not just one aspect of it. I would highly recommend Wendy, as not only is she knowledgeable and will provide you correct information on how to manage your diagnosis, but it’s also nice almost having a “coach” on your side cheering on your success. Thank you so much Wendy!”
