Meg Moreta has been the primary dietitian for my patients for the last 20 years. I can’t begin to express how knowledgeable and effective she is. I trust her advice completely, whether it is the recommendations she gives to someone who needs to lose weight or to someone who needs to learn the details of complex carbohydrate counting in combination with a gluten-free diet. I have been part of the committee that writes the Annual ADA Standards of Care and have had the privilege to work with the leaders in the field of diabetes and nutrition. Meg is every bit as good as they are and has always kept up with the newest recommendations and research. For patients with the simplest to the most complex nutritional needs, Meg has always found a way to help. She teaches me all the time. Meg is as good as it gets, and I unequivocally recommend her. She is also a wonderful person for whom I have the utmost admiration and respect."

“I wish I had asked Meg for help on what to eat years ago! Meg truly cares about people and is motived by helping us learn how food fuels us for life – both mentally and physically. She offers suggestions and guidelines that fit into your lifestyle and has helped me learn to make simple swaps to achieve a balanced diet. My favorite advice was to eat foods with no more than five ingredients – clean eating defined! Meg is the most down to earth, supportive, and wonderful coach you could ever find. She helped me replace my inner voice about “good” or “bad” foods by giving me the knowledge and confidence that I am making healthy choices. “
