Meet Peyton

Peyton is the founder of Pey Health Nutrition and partners with Berry Street to provide the best telehealth-based nutrition services to her patients. Her area of expertise is Culinary Nutrition, helping patients find food freedom and break the cycle of fad dieting.

Peyton has had quite the nutrition journey dating back to high school. She fell in love with cooking and was always seeking out nutrient-dense ingredient swaps in recipes; zucchini in chocolate cupcakes, cottage cheese blended in sauces, & more! This passion led her to attend Johnson & Wales University, where she graduated with a degree in Culinary Nutrition.

From there, she began her career as a Weight Loss Counselor in Chicago, IL. Although she loved building lifelong relationships with her clients, she soon realized the program was causing more harm than good to clients. This prompted her to return to school to obtain her Certificate in Nutrition & Dietetics from Dominican University to become a Registered Dietitian!

During this era, she worked under a fabulous Dietitian at an eating disorder clinic. This is where Peyton learned about HAES, “Health At Every Size”, which focuses on individuals treating their bodies with kindness. Peyton endorses this approach to this day!

Once she graduated from her certificate program, she went on to complete her dietetic internship in Tallahassee, FL, which had an emphasis in school nutrition. Peyton was also a Chef for an after-school cooking program focusing on vegetarian-based recipes!

After passing her Board Dietitian Exam, she returned home to work as an Inpatient Clinical Dietitian at a hospital in Wisconsin. She provided medical nutrition support in the ICU along with providing nutrition education on Heart Failure, Diabetes, Irritable Bowel Disorder, Cancer, and more!

Now, Peyton is returning to her passion of working 1:1 with patients to break the fad diet cycle by taking on a culinary approach with customized recipes and meal plans!
