About Vine Ripe Nutrition

Asheville Registered Dietitian Nutritionist

Hi, I’m Denise, an Asheville registered dietitian nutritionist.  And like you, I have a complicated relationship with food and nutrition. As I moved into middle age, I suddenly realized  “Hey! I am not getting any younger”! So, I understand first hand, how important my lifestyle is to feeling great, staying healthy and doing all the things I want to do!

I completed my BS in Food and Nutrition from University of Missouri. After that, I finished my dietetic internship & MS in Nutrition and Dietetics from Saint Louis University. My graduate research on school nutrition policies was published in a scientific journal. And it was inspired by my son during his school years.

I moved to Western North Carolina in 2006 and started my private practice, Vine Ripe Nutrition. As a nutrition expert, I partner with clients to help them make food choices to improve their physical and mental well-being.  In addition, I help them identify and remove their challenges to achieve success. There is no better reward than seeing clients feel their best, reach their goals and feel more comfortable with about their relationship with food!
