Carrie O’Kelley, RDN, LDN is a Licensed and Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist who provides individualized nutrition counseling online via telehealth. She specializes in disease prevention, weight management, meal planning, and helping individuals improve their overall health through sustainable lifestyle changes.

Carrie earned her Bachelor of Science in Food and Nutrition from The University of Alabama and began her nutrition career at New Hanover Regional Medical Center. There, she worked with patients across a variety of disease states, providing education and guidance to help improve health outcomes and quality of life. She also collaborated closely with interdisciplinary healthcare teams to support malnourished patients and assess the needs of individuals requiring specialized nutrition support.

Carrie’s path to becoming a dietitian was deeply personal. After both of her parents were diagnosed with diabetes, she became passionate about understanding the role nutrition plays in preventing and managing chronic disease. During her time in the hospital setting, she discovered a calling for helping individuals make meaningful changes before health concerns become more serious—a passion that continues to guide her work today.

Since 2014, Carrie has counseled patients with a wide range of nutrition needs, helping them improve both their physical and emotional well-being, strengthen their relationship with food, and create lasting lifestyle changes. She is especially passionate about empowering individuals to incorporate healthy eating habits in a way that feels natural, realistic, and sustainable for long-term success.

Carrie is known for her patient-centered approach and her ability to see the whole person—not just their nutrition concerns. She takes into account each individual’s health history, values, preferences, and lifestyle to create personalized strategies that fit their unique needs. Carrie believes nutrition should be practical, enjoyable, and sustainable, and she strives to help patients build confidence in their choices while discovering what it means to truly nourish themselves for life.
