About – Sophie Dolan Nutrition

Hi, I’m Sophie!

Thank you for stopping by Sophie Dolan Nutrition. I am so happy you are here.

I am a registered dietitian nutritionist and here to help you with all things nutrition related. I grew up in Birmingham, AL then moved to Boston, MA for 6 years before returning back to Birmingham. During my time in Boston, I worked at Boston Children’s Hospital where I served patients and families with gastrointestinal issues and weight management concerns.

I am half Greek and grew up in a food-loving family. Food is the cornerstone of how we experience and celebrate life together. Nothing makes me happier than sharing a meal with a table full of family and friends.

My friends and family always count on me to make a salad for the group and before you roll your eyes, hear me out! I am not talking a boring, “leave me starving” type of salad. I am talking about a big, hearty, colorful, “I’m going to need seconds” kind of salad.

I enjoy cooking but more so, I love to eat delicious & healthful foods. I wholeheartedly believe that all foods can fit into a healthful diet that will serve you well. Everything I offer is extremely individualized to meet your needs. My goal is to help you improve your quality of life while also improving your health!

Meeting with Sophie, a Registered Dietitian, has been a game-changer in my journey towards better health and nutrition. Initially, I was hesitant about seeking professional guidance regarding nutrition, but Sophie's expertise and approach quickly put me at ease. From our first consultation, Sophie demonstrated a remarkable ability to explain nutritional concepts clearly and understandably. She took the time to listen attentively to my concerns and goals, tailoring her advice to fit my specific needs. What truly set Sophie apart was her dedication to ensuring I felt confident and empowered in making healthier choices. One of my most valuable experiences with Sophie was when she accompanied me to the grocery store. Her guidance transformed what used to be an overwhelming experience into a positive and educational one. Sophie's insights into helping me select the right groceries and produce significantly lowered my shopping anxiety. Thanks to Sophie, I now feel equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to make sustainable changes towards a healthier lifestyle. I recommend Sophie to anyone seeking expert guidance and support on their journey to better nutrition and overall wellness. She is not just a dietitian but a reliable source of encouragement in helping you achieve your health goals!

Sophie is a real gem. She is so knowledgeable and passionate about her work. She makes it seem easy and deconstructs the goal into baby steps that anyone can achieve if they are focused and committed. She is friendly and non-judgmental, and customizes her plan to fit what is realistic to YOU, not what other people have had success with doing. I appreciate that so much about her. She gives you the information and steps you need to succeed and then it is up to you to simply follow her instruction.

Sophie is so knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She helped me understand what I should eat and what I should avoid but was not preachy or judgmental in any way. As we talked, she took notes and made suggestions of foods I enjoyed that would help improve my health. She always had an alternative when I hit a stumbling block. I enjoyed meeting with Sophie and highly recommend her! She takes insurance (mine was BCBS), so I have recommended her to may of my teacher friends!

I was in desperate need of nutrition counseling following surgery and chemo. My oncology group and GI group had nobody to refer me to. I found Sophie, and she immediately made an appointment with me. I found her to be very well informed, and she advised me on how I could improve my nutritional intake and caloric intake. I implemented her suggestions and am doing so much better now. I think you will be as pleased as I am, if you will reach out to Sophie.

I love working with Sophie! She is super knowledgeable. She meets you where you are and patiently explains all aspects of nutrition to you according to your needs and goals. She creates a supportive and non-judgmental environment in her practice and anyone would benefit from seeing her. She also takes insurance, which is amazing!
