Taylor Vashro, MS, RD

• Registered Dietitian

Taylor graduated from Virginia Tech (go Hokies!) with her undergraduate and Master's degrees in Human Nutrition, Foods and Exercise. She went on to complete a year-long dietetic internship program at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center in Peoria, IL where she gained a variety of experiences with adult and pediatric medical nutrition therapy in both the inpatient and outpatient settings.

Taylor is passionate about helping clients feel their best with individualized nutrition counseling supported by up-to-date, evidence-based nutrition research. She seeks to transform her client's perspective of food from "just another diet" to health-focused eating within a sustainable and enjoyable lifestyle. Taylor does this by utilizing tenets of motivational interviewing and intuitive eating in her nutrition counseling practice. Taylor provides one-on-one nutrition counseling for general nutrition/wellness, adult weight management, diabetes, heart health, hypertension, anti-inflammatory nutrition, sports nutrition, vegetarian nutrition, and pregnancy/ postpartum nutrition.

Outside of nutrition, Taylor loves a variety of exercises including running, kickboxing, cycling, and hiking. She also has a passion for international travel, eating delicious food, and reading for fun.
