Abby Douglas, RDN, LD
Synergy Health and Wellness is lucky to have Abby as a part of our team.
As our lead dietitian, she is a well rounded practitioner and provides expert support to our clients and team members.
Philosophy
I have always had an interest in the medical field but also love cooking, recipe modification, and food science. Becoming a dietitian has brought those two passions together. In my work, I enjoy helping individuals with kidney diseases, gastrointestinal concerns, and those who want to improve their overall health and vitality. My goal is to empower individuals to thrive in the body they are in without shame or judgment and work to reduce symptoms from chronic illness through whole food nutrition.
Education & Background
I studied human nutrition and dietetics at Kansas State University. After graduating and earning the credential of Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, I worked as a kidney and liver transplant dietitian in a large Kansas City hospital prior to moving to Bend. I am particularly interested in supporting clients with renal and gastrointestinal disorders, among our other client populations.
RanDee, Kacey, and I are most-recently working on certification to assist clients with starting insulin-pump therapy. We are excited to add this to our accredited diabetes program offerings, as we continue to try to provide the most innovative diabetes care.
I was born and raised in the Kansas City area and moved to Bend in 2015. I feel so grateful to live and work in this incredible community with endless outdoor adventure opportunities. In my free time, you are likely to find me hiking and backpacking the Cascades with my husband and trusty adventure dog!
