Cassandra Olsen, MS, RD, LD - Registered Licensed Dietitian at HCA Tomball
Fueling Families Nutrition, LLC
Hey y’all! I am Cassandra (but go by Casey)! I am a registered dietitian, licensed in Texas, who is passionate about breaking diet culture and helping you sort through all the conflicting information you see on TikTok!
I got my start in nutrition working with athletes in Denver, Colorado but discovered I loved helping the community around me working to achieve sustainable nutrition and health goals. I was tired of the snow so I packed up my life and moved to Houston, Texas!
I worked for several years in clinical/hospital settings while I grew my private practice and made the transition to private practice full time in 2022. I work with all disease states, but specialize in nutrition counseling for behavior change, bariatric weight loss surgery, long covid/MCAS and hormone management. In my spare time, I enjoy playing volleyball, traveling the world to taste cultural cuisines and provide nutrition related services to underdeveloped communities.
I believe in an anti-diet approach, guiding you to discover what works specifically for your preferences, budget, and lifestyle to maintain results long term. There is no magic pill, perfect food or ‘quick fix’ when it comes to health. This is way of living that works for you and I am here to support, educate and cheer you on as you achieve all your health, weight, and fitness goals!
