Meet Megan
Megan is a south Louisiana native, born and raised in Harvey, on the Westbank (A.K.A. the best bank!) of New Orleans. Growing up, she was always involved in sports- starting with dancing at the young age of 2, but quickly finding her love for swimming and volleyball. She moved to Baton Rouge in 2006 to attend LSU, where she continued to stay active by playing recreational beach volleyball and running her first half marathon. It’s not a surprise that both of her degrees are related to health and wellness— she graduated in 2010 with a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and then in 2014 she earned her second bachelor’s degree in Nutritional Sciences. After completing her dietetic internship through Southern University, Megan started her first “big girl” job in clinical nutrition at one of the larger hospitals in the Baton Rouge area. However, she soon found herself wanting to build relationships with patients and transitioned to working in dialysis, where she has been for the past 9 years. While Megan has a wealth of knowledge in chronic kidney disease, she has a passion for diabetes and is currently preparing to sit to become a Certified Diabetes Educator. She also has experience working with weight loss, cardiac disease, and gastroenterology.
When Megan is not counseling patients on how to create a balanced lifestyle or studying, she is spending time with her husband, Scott, and kids, John Wyatt and Sadie, trying to fit in that work out, get dinner on the table, cheering on the Tigers - especially LSU women’s basketball- lets GEAUX!, using her creative side with various projects, and sitting poolside. She truly understands that it takes a village and is ready to be part of yours to help you become successful in meeting your health goals!

Meet Jessica
Jessica is a down the bayou girl! She grew up in the rich, Cajun culture of Houma, well south of Houma, but we don’t have time for a geography lesson. When she was young, Jessica dreamed of working with animals - becoming a veterinarian, marine biologist, etc. She moved to Baton Rouge for college in 2007 and has lived there ever since. Jessica obtained a degree from LSU in Animal Sciences in 2011. She learned everything from livestock management to breeding/genetics, meat/dairy/poultry production, and even food quality/safety. It was after taking an animal nutrition course that Jessica realized her true calling was a food-related career, and she began pursuing a degree in Nutrition Sciences; this is where she met Megan! Jessica graduated in 2014 with her second degree and attended a dietetic internship at Southern University. Throughout her career, Jessica has worked at local hospitals, as an in-patient clinical dietitian. She transitioned to outpatient nutrition in 2017 with one of the largest dialysis companies. She has experience in cardiac, gastrointestinal, and alternative feeding (parenteral nutrition/tube feeding), but her focus is renal/kidney disease. Feeling a sense of deja vu? Yes, their stories are similar; Megan and Jessica are not only colleagues, but have known each other for years, and are great friends! While helping her patients thrive on dialysis, Jessica is studying and plans to become a board-certified renal dietitian soon!
Working in healthcare keeps one very busy, but in her spare time Jessica enjoys fishing, whipping up some authentic Louisiana dishes, watching the LSU Tigers and New Orleans Saints, camping along the gulf coast with her parents, attending concerts with her friends, catching beads at Mardi Gras, attempting to get in a little self-care (massages, fitness/sports, naps), spending time with her husband, Mo, and most of all, raising her son, Carson!
