Lindsay Stenovec, MS, RD, CEDRD-S, CLEC
OWNER & PRINCIPAL REGISTERED DIETITIAN
Hello! I’m Lindsay Stenovec and I’m the Principal Registered Dietitian and owner of Nutrition Instincts® San Diego Nutrition Therapy. My team and I provide nutrition counseling in the areas of eating disorders, intuitive eating, prenatal and postpartum wellness, diabetes, family feeding coaching and integrative and functional nutrition. We run a weight inclusive practice in alignment with Health at Every Size® principles. As Certified Eating Disorder Registered Dietitians (CEDRD) and Intuitive Eating Counselor I strive to provide San Diego residents with evidence-informed, weight inclusive care for those suffering from eating disorders and various levels of disordered eating due to dieting. In 2015, I founded an online nutrition resource and coaching program for moms, which includes a body positive podcast, Embodied and Well Mom Show, and a wellness membership that cultivates body confidence, self-care and a healthy relationship with food for moms and families. I received my undergraduate Bachelor of Science degree in Nutritional Science at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, completed my dietetic internship at California State University, Long Beach and completed my Master’s in Science degree in Nutritional Science at San Diego State University.
I speak regularly to professionals and parents on the topics of eating disorders, intuitive eating, child feeding, maternal self-care, pregnancy and eating disorders, and postpartum wellness. As an approved supervisor (CEDRD-S) with the International Association for Eating Disorder Professionals (iaedp), I offer professional supervision to Registered Dietitians and perinatal professionals.
My previous roles that continue to inform my current work included providing medical nutrition therapy for gestational diabetes, consulting for the government Head Start Preschool Program, teaching as an adjunct professor at a community college and being the lead dietitian for a PHP and IOP adult and adolescent eating disorder program. I provide trauma-informed care and have counseling training in motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy – which are therapy modalities I apply while remaining within a dietitian’s scope of practice. I thoroughly enjoy living in San Diego with my husband and 2 wonderful sons.

Madeleine White, RDN, CDCES (aka Maddie)
ASSOCIATE REGISTERED DIETITIAN
Hey there! I’m Maddie White, an eating disorder and clinical dietitian passionate about helping others restore relationships with food, body, and mind. As a Health At Every Size® provider, I strive to provide inclusive, compassionate care to each and every client – regardless of weight, shape, color, size, orientation, disability, or disease. I believe Intuitive Eating holds a space for everyone. By taking an individual approach with each client, together we learn the best way to navigate your journey to food and body freedom.
I attended San Diego State University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Foods and Nutrition. I went on to complete the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics Internship with Iowa State University, where I continued my experience in eating disorders as well as clinical nutrition. In between, I spent a year living in Rome, Italy. It was here where I began to see how clearly our American culture distorts our relationships with food and body. Upon my return, I began working with the American Diabetes Association, where I managed youth programming for San Diegans living with type 1 diabetes in addition to bringing awareness to those living with all types of diabetes through policy activism and community education and outreach. After transitioning to work in a San Diego eating disorder facility, I realized how fulfilling it was to be a part of someone’s recovery. Spending time with clients of all ages, I adopted skills in adult-centered learning, multiple therapy modalities, and communication with pediatrics and adolescents. While a little unconventional, these experiences have made me the dietitian I am today..
Aside from my time with Nutrition Instincts and the eating disorder community, I work at a local San Diego Acute Care Hospital incorporating Nutrition Instincts’ values in the clinical setting. In my free time I love to travel and explore San Diego because as a local, I STILL haven’t seen it all.

Andrea Kent, MPH, RDN, CNSC
ASSOCIATE REGISTERED DIETITIAN
Hello! I’m Andrea Kent, a registered dietitian that loves providing nutrition counseling to my clients that bridges the gap between evidence-based research and making peace with food and their bodies. With the inundation of nutrition messages, I love supporting my clients navigate what works for them as individuals, while making sure to separate fact from fiction.
I am grateful to have worn many hats as a Registered Dietitian. I have a strong clinical background, completing my dietetic internship at Stanford Healthcare. I have also worked in both the inpatient and outpatient setting providing medical nutrition therapy to a range of patients, from pediatrics to oncology. In addition, I spent many years working in nutrition research at Stanford Prevention Research Center. From these experiences, I have come to value how extremely personal nutrition and eating is to all of us.
In addition, I also spent time designing a nutrition program and providing nutrition counseling for adolescents with eating disorders in the Bay Area. Here I was able to help my clients find their own recovery via an Intuitive Eating and HAES lens. As a self-appointed lifelong student, I am continually adding to my skillset as a nutrition counselor to help support clients in finding recovery.
I received my undergraduate Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Research at UC Santa Barbara, completed my didactic program of dietetics internship at California State University, Long Beach, my dietetic internship at Stanford Healthcare through San Francisco State University and completed my Masters of Public Health degree at UC Berkeley.
I am currently working towards becoming an Intuitive Eating Counselor and fulfilling hours to become a CEDRD. In addition to my time at Nutrition Instincts, I also work in providing nutrition counseling in a corporate setting, working with high-level individuals to incorporate intuitive eating principles to find balance with nutrition and support their busy lives. With all of life’s stressors, I am to support all of my clients in making nutrition something that supports their lives, vs. another stressor.
After living up and down the coast of California, I am thrilled to have settled in San Diego with my husband and 1-year old son.

TIFFANY KELLY
VIRTUAL ASSISTANT
Hello! I am Tiffany Kelly and I am a virtual assistant for Nutrition Instincts. I began my assistant career at the age of 17 by becoming an office assistant for a commercial refrigeration company that my father owns. After working with my father’s company for eight years, I decided I wanted to go back to school and complete my undergraduate degree. As of December 2015, I completed my Bachelors of Arts in Psychology from California Baptist University, in Southern California. Throughout my time in school, I continued to work as an assistant. However, due to my heavy class load, the assisting became more virtual. After graduation, I began seeking other jobs for virtual assistants because I preferred being able to schedule my own hours. In May of 2016, Lindsay found me and I have been apart of the team ever since. This job allows me to have more time for fun with my nieces and nephew, whom I watch every Wednesday. I am also able to serve at my local church on a weekly bases. I eventually plan to return to school to complete my Masters in Social Work, but for now I am enjoying working in this field and gaining more experience.
