🌿 About Nutrolution

We help people figure out what’s actually going on in their body.

Instead of guessing or following generic nutrition plans, we take the time to look at the full picture—food intake, symptoms, lifestyle, health history, and when helpful, lab work. We connect patterns that are often overlooked and identify what may be contributing to fatigue, inflammation, digestive issues, metabolic concerns, hormone imbalance, or difficulty reaching health goals.

Our approach blends nutrition science, functional assessment, and clinical intuition shaped by years of experience. From there, we work with you to build a plan that fits your life—not a rigid set of rules.

We help clients:

  • Understand how food is affecting their body

  • Use food as medicine in a realistic, sustainable way

  • Develop targeted supplement routines when appropriate

  • Learn how to read their body’s signals with more confidence

Education is central to our work. We don’t just tell you what to eat—we help you understand why, so you can make informed decisions long after our work together.

We provide individual and group Medical Nutrition Therapy, Nutrition Counseling, and Nutrition Education—offered nationwide via telehealth and in person across North Carolina. We currently accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicare, Aetna, United Healthcare, and the State Health Plan of North Carolina, and are continuing to expand our insurance partnerships to make healing more accessible.

 

Our Mission

 Our mission is to help people rebuild trust in their bodies through personalized, science-based nutrition care.

We believe health improves when people understand the root causes of imbalance and are given practical tools—not fear, restriction, or overwhelm. Our goal is to provide thoughtful guidance, clear education, and steady support so clients can make lasting changes that actually work in real life.

 


Our Vision

We envision a healthcare model where nutrition is not an afterthought—but a foundation.

A model where people feel heard, educated, and empowered. Where food is used intentionally to support healing, prevention, and long-term wellbeing. And where individuals are equipped with knowledge they can carry forward, rather than relying on temporary fixes or constant external direction.

 


 

👩⚕️ Meet the Nutrolution Team

Rachael Richardson, RD, LDN

Founder, Integrative/ Functional Dietitian

I’m Rachel Richardson, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, and I’ve spent my career helping people make sense of confusing health symptoms and conflicting nutrition advice.

My approach is both clinical and deeply human. I rely on evidence-based nutrition science, functional assessment, and years of hands-on experience working with individuals across a wide range of health concerns. I also value intuition—developed through listening closely, recognizing patterns, and understanding that no two bodies respond exactly the same way.

I work best with people who want to understand why their body is struggling, not just follow another plan. My role is to guide, educate, and help translate complex information into clear, actionable steps—so you feel supported, not overwhelmed.
