FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Kate Giles, MS, RD, LDN
Licensed Dietitian
She/Her
“It’s my goal to empower clients to make meaningful changes that are realistic and sustainable to their unique lifestyle.”
Before Metrowest Nutrition, Kate worked in social investment research. But like many of our dietitians, Kate knew she was supposed to do something bigger. So she left her successful career to pursue nutrition counseling. Kate completed her master’s and dietetic internship through the Coordinated Program in Dietetics at Framingham State University.
After graduation, Kate gained an incredible amount of knowledge at Lowell General Hospital as an inpatient, outpatient and community dietitian. During her time there, Kate got experience in sports nutrition, digestive disorders and working with clients struggling with weight and body image concerns. Kate also spent nearly three years as an administrative and course coordinator at the anti-hunger nonprofit organization ‘Cooking Matters Massachusetts,’ where she implemented and led nutrition and cooking education classes.
In each of these roles, Kate has been fortunate enough to work with clients from diverse socioeconomic, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, which has shaped her conviction that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition counseling.
