Andrea Hiatt, MS, RD

Andrea Hiatt is a Licensed and Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist working with patients and corporate wellness clients online via telehealth.  

Andrea earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees and completed her dietetic internship at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Her career started in the hospital, where she worked with complex nutrition patients, particularly assisting them in transitioning to a regular diet after being on tube feedings or parenteral nutrition. She then took on a role at a long-term care facility, managing both patient nutrition care and food service operations. Realizing her passion for nutrition counseling and building long-term patient relationships, Andrea moved to outpatient nutrition counseling, specializing in bariatric surgery, diabetes management, and obesity care. She also taught dietetic students, further extending her impact in the field. These diverse experiences have equipped her with the skills and confidence to support a wide range of patients and empower them to make informed nutrition decisions. 

Growing up in a large Italian family centered around food, Andrea witnessed firsthand the significant impact of food choices on health. With many family members facing diet-related conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, she became a dietitian to help her family—and others—balance what is important to them with their health. 

As a Registered Dietitian, Andrea is passionate about supporting patients in all areas of nutrition to enhance overall health and wellness. She believes that even small dietary and lifestyle changes can profoundly impact achieving health goals. Andrea is committed to helping patients build a positive relationship with food by challenging unhealthy diet culture beliefs and fostering long-term health improvements. Her areas of particular interest include weight management (having earned her Certificate in Training in Obesity in Pediatrics and Adults in 2024), bariatric surgery, diabetes management, and gut health, particularly in addressing digestive conditions such as IBS.
