Andrea Hiatt, MS, RD

Andrea Hiatt, MS, RD, LDN is a Licensed and Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist who provides individualized nutrition counseling online via telehealth. She specializes in digestive conditions and gut health, including IBS, SIBO, Candida, and IBD, as well as weight management for individuals with a history of bariatric surgery or those using GLP-1 medications. Andrea also supports patients navigating histamine intolerances, allergies, MCAS, and EDS, and helps them build a positive relationship with food through a weight-neutral approach.

She earned her Bachelor of Science in Human Nutrition and Dietetics and her Master of Science with a Dietetic Internship Concentration from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Andrea began her career in the hospital setting, working with complex nutrition patients transitioning from tube feedings or parenteral nutrition to oral diets. She later managed patient nutrition and food service in long-term care before moving into outpatient counseling, specializing in bariatric surgery, diabetes, and obesity care. In addition, Andrea has taught dietetic students, expanding her impact through mentorship and education. 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.

At Summerfield Custom Wellness, Andrea has expanded her expertise in gastrointestinal health and complex conditions, such as MCAS, while working with patients with diverse needs. She values the collaborative, inclusive environment, which allows her to learn from colleagues in other specialties and to develop new, creative approaches to patient care. Andrea also enjoys engaging patients in meaningful conversations about health topics, including book and podcast discussions that foster curiosity and connection.

Her approach to care is rooted in empathy, patience, and practical progress. Andrea believes in helping patients make small, attainable goals that build confidence and motivation over time. She takes the time to truly get to know her patients—understanding their experiences, challenges, and goals—to support their overall wellness, not just their nutrition. Her mission is to help people feel empowered, informed, and balanced in both their relationship with food and their health.
