Therese Nadler is a functional and integrative registered dietitian (RDN) specializing in metabolic health, inflammation, and performance longevity across the lifespan. She works with adults and children to identify and correct the root causes of gut dysfunction, immune imbalance, and metabolic instability.
With training from Columbia University and experience leading performance-focused nutrition programs for Fortune 500 executives, Therese brings both clinical depth and strategic precision to her work. She is particularly known for helping children with feeding challenges, digestive disorders, anxiety, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorder build a stronger nutritional foundation, while guiding adults to optimize metabolism, energy, muscle, and long-term resilience.
Her approach is plant-forward, minimally processed, and rooted in advanced lab insights — delivering practical, personalized strategies that create measurable results.
What does a functional and integrative dietitian do?
A functional and integrative Registered Dietitian (RDN) takes a root-cause approach to nutrition, looking beyond symptoms to understand how food, digestion, blood sugar, nutrient status, and lifestyle affect health. This approach supports children, adolescents, families, and adults, using personalized, evidence-based strategies to improve energy, digestion, focus, behavior, and long-term wellness.
Who do you work with?
I work with children, adolescents, and adults, including busy professionals and families seeking practical, functional nutrition support. My background includes many years supporting adults through corporate wellness programs with Fortune 500 companies, as well as working with children and families navigating picky eating, digestive issues, growth concerns, autism, ADHD, and overall wellness.
Do you work with families virtually?
Yes. While I am based in Maryland I offer virtual nutrition counseling, which allows me to work with individuals and families regardless of location. Virtual care is often more effective for busy, dual-working households and professionals, offering flexibility, consistency, and real-world support without the stress of scheduling and attending in-person appointments. I also offer a collaborative care model for physicians and therapists.
