About Me

Hello! I am Marcia Cote, your registered dietitian with over 20 years of experience. There is no better feeling than knowing that someone feels better as a result of the advice you gave them. I feel that way almost every day, and it drives me to want to know more. Nutrition is complicated; there is so much information and misinformation out there. How do you know what is true? Since we are finally coming to the understanding that nutrition is medicine, doesn’t it make sense to find a nutritionist certified in functional medicine?  

As a registered dietitian with over 20 years of experience, I have seen many patients in the hospital, clinic, and private practice.  With the realization that a disproportionate number of patients have diabetes or pre-diabetes, I took an interest in how to treat and prevent diabetes.  As it turns out, the presence of elevated insulin and blood sugar also precipitates several other chronic diseases.  We have discovered that adjusting the diet to manage blood sugar levels can also have a very positive effect on other conditions such as overweight, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, mental illness, cognitive decline, infertility, and so many more.  In addition to chronic disease management, I can help to manage and heal GI issues, thyroid conditions, food intolerance (leaky gut), and other conditions many times thought to be unrelated to diet.
