Using science to reach optimal performance. Personalized nutrition therapy with Brian Heep, covered by insurance and available in 13 states.
Benefits are checked for you after you book. Medicare and Medicaid: unable to accept. Details below.
Whether you manage a chronic condition, take a GLP-1 medication, or want sustainable weight loss, your plan fits your labs, your goals, and your life.
Nutrition built around your medication: eating enough protein, staying hydrated, easing side effects, and keeping your results over the long term.
Blood sugar management that works with your medication and your schedule.
Nutrition for fatty liver (NAFLD), kidney disease (CKD), and high blood pressure.
Eating patterns that support your heart, blood pressure, and cholesterol.
Nutrition support for insulin resistance, weight, and symptoms.
No judgment and no generic protocols. A plan you can keep doing.
No diagnosis needed. Build a steady foundation for how you eat.
Real life doesn't pause for a new meal plan. Some weeks you have the energy to change a lot, and some weeks you don't. I don't hand out rigid protocols or long lists of rules. I learn what your days look like and we build from there.
One client recently told me I'm unlike any other health professional they've worked with: no hard rules, just someone who understands and meets them where they are.
What's one single thing we can work on changing?
You leave your first visit, and every visit after, with one clear step you can realistically take. Small changes you can keep add up faster than big changes you can't.

Personalized nutrition therapy shaped around your conditions, your labs, and your life.
I'm Brian Heep, a Registered Dietitian with a dual Master's degree in Nutrition & Human Performance and Clinical Dietetics from Logan University.
Before becoming an RD, I spent years in collegiate and professional football, working in coaching, recruiting, and operations at the University of Louisville, Western Kentucky, Texas State, and Purdue University, with additional contributions to the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, and Tennessee Titans during training camp. That background shaped how I approach clinical nutrition: with rigor, precision, and respect for what the body can do.
Today I work with people managing chronic conditions, navigating GLP-1 medications, and working toward sustainable weight loss, across 13 states by telehealth and in person in Louisville, KY. No judgment. No generic protocols. Just science that fits your life.
“Brian really took the time to understand my issues and goals. I hit my weight loss goal and I'm now happy and healthier.”
“He asked all the right questions and didn't judge me on anything. He has the guide to get you to your goals.”
“Brian is very knowledgeable and he simplifies everything.”
I build cycle menus for recovery programs, group homes, and assisted living. The food is familiar, the recipes fit your equipment, and the numbers fit your budget.
Scheduled, collaborative visits, never surprise inspections. I walk your kitchen with your team and cover food storage and temperatures, dishwashing, staff hygiene, and the environment and pest control.
You receive a written report with a corrective action plan, and we debrief together. One-on-one clinical nutrition support for residents is available as an add-on.
Every project starts with a short conversation about your program. I follow up with a proposal that includes options.
