Katie Lightfield, MS, RD, LD, is a Registered and Licensed Dietitian who helps clients build healthier relationships with food and create nutrition strategies that fit real life. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and Food Science from the University of Houston and her master’s degree in Human Nutrition from Texas State University, where she also completed a comprehensive dietetic internship across clinical, community, and foodservice settings.

Katie has experience in medical weight loss, weight management, GLP-1 therapy, emotional eating, and bariatric nutrition, including both pre- and post-operative care. She also works with nutrition needs related to conditions such as diabetes, insulin resistance, and heart disease.

‍

Her philosophy is individualized and practical. Katie recognizes that each client’s health history, preferences, lifestyle, and goals are different, so she partners with clients to create achievable plans that can develop into lasting habits. She does not believe sustainable health requires constant deprivation. Instead, she helps clients make smaller, meaningful changes that support both physical health and a greater sense of confidence and control.
