I am a registered dietitian born in Austin and raised in Round Rock, TX. I graduated with a B.S. in nutrition from The University of Texas at Austin and completed my masters in nutrition from Texas Woman's University with a focus in eating disorders. I enjoy working with all ages including children, adolescents, young adults, and adults along with couples, families, and sports teams. I believe every single person has the ingredients to develop a healthy relationship with food, exercise, and their bodies, but sometimes need guidance and support to discover that ability within. I take a non-diet approach to nutrition and weight management and help my clients reduce the power they give to food that determines whether their day is "good" or "bad". Freedom from yo-yo dieting is possible and it's time we throw out the long list of food and exercise "rules" that run our day-to-day choices and lives.

Before transitioning to private practice in 2012, I worked for almost three years as the full-time dietitian at a treatment center for eating disorders. There I was able to expand my training and develop a therapeutic approach to nutrition where I empower my clients to re-connect their minds and bodies to meet their physiological and emotional needs free from guilt and without being restrictive. I use an evidence-based approach to help my clients see they can eat in a balanced way while still enjoying their favorite foods regularly.

As a former athlete, I understand the importance of fueling for sports performance and love working with athletes to help them take their training to the next level. I also work with several club and school sports teams to provide educational talks for in-season and off-season training. Please contact me for more information on how we can work together to help your entire team excel!

LINDA STEINHARDT, MS, RD, LD

I am a registered dietitian, born and raised in Cedar Park, TX. I completed my B.S. in nutrition and dietetic internship at The University of Texas at Austin.

My passion lies in helping people develop positive and lasting relationships with food, body, and movement. I believe that often times, this involves unlearning diet culture messages that are common in our society and working through the process of relearning how to tune into and honor our own body’s wants and needs.

I also enjoy working with athletes and active people of all ages, understanding the unique pressures related to food and body that often arise in sport. I take a non-diet approach, using evidence-based Intuitive Eating and sports nutrition principles as the foundation of care to help people navigate these challenges. I believe that food is more than fuel, and that working collaboratively to honor the whole person is important. Ultimately, I aim to help clients build interoceptive awareness and resistance to diet culture so that they can make decisions based on their own goals and values.

Prior to joining KP Nutrition Therapy, I worked as a Sports Dietitian Fellow at UNC Chapel Hill, working with elite athletes who had eating disorders, disordered eating, low energy availability and/or who wanted to learn more about how to fuel their performances. There, I supported athletes in redeveloping their relationship with food, body, sport, etc. as we untangled how various factors may have been intertwined and influenced beliefs and behaviors around food. I also had the pleasure of working with teams, athletic trainers, therapists, and other members of the athletic performance team to help create positive team cultures around food and body.

I appreciate the important role that nutrition plays in health, celebration, athletic performance, creating community, and so much more. I’m thankful every day that my career allows me to help people build the relationship with food that feels best for them, without a side of diet culture. I’m thrilled to be a part of the KP Nutrition Therapy team, and look forward to helping people cultivate positive and lasting relationships with food, body, and movement.
