Hello! I'm Madelyn, a registered dietitian with a passion for travel, food, & nature. While I've never been great at sharing my life online, I'm excited to step out of my comfort zone & embrace the positive side of socials!

I’m originally from Northern Virginia, where I grew up before moving for my undergraduate studies at Mississippi State University (HAIL STATE!).

I went into the nutrition major only knowing my love & appreciation of food, but having no idea how rare & precious that is. Nutrition is a trendy topic & with all the madness & misinformation online, I felt faced with the undeniable need advocate for the beauty of what food & our bodies do for us! This inspired my personal statement for applying to graduate schools, knowing I wanted to work with eating disorders at some point in my career.

I pursued my master's in nutrition through Appalachian State University, where I got to explore the Blue Ridge mountains, make wonderful connections, & realize how much I truly thrive in warm weather (bless vitamin D!). Fast forward to moving to Wilmington, NC where I essentially got my dream job - specializing in eating disorders! This experience deepened my commitment to promoting food freedom and health literacy, and I am currently working towards my Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) credential.

This journey has brought me to Salty Roots Nutrition, where I aim to provide nutrition therapy virtually while in Puerto Rico! While I’m in the process of relocating, you can follow my adventures through Instagram @saltyrootsnutrition, where I'll share insights on nutrition education, sustainable living, intuitive eating, and soon farming alongside my beloved soul dog, Millie!

Aside from food, I enjoy tending to plants, expressing myself through watercolor & sketching, powerlifting, & striving for a zero-waste lifestyle.

Story Behind the Name

I chose Salty Roots Nutrition for the name of my practice to encompass my story, personality, & mission.

It is important for you to know how much I love puns, dad jokes, & any kind of play on words so,

naturally, there are multiple meanings.

Salty

Flavor! No matter how much I love food as it, we always have to add some flavor to the mix to really bring out different tastes with the bonus of adding more nourishment

Location! The sandy beaches & salty waters are my home as I started out my dietitian journey in Wilmington, NC & now moving to Puerto Rico.

Roots

Root vegetables! I will always advocate & highlight the importance of carbohydrates in daily intake. Plus, there are so many more root than the classic potato or carrot to try.

Focus! Nutrition is a preventative treatment & an important lifestyle factor to focus on in finding the root problem to health concerns.
