Dietitian McKayla Mazziotti - Sports Dietitian & Eating Disorder Expert
McKayla harbors a passion for sports nutrition and helping athletes create a positive relationship with food and fueling for their activity. Before joining the team at Dallas Nutritional Counseling she worked as a Sports Dietitian at the collegiate level at the University of North Texas. McKayla quickly realized how sports nutrition and eating disorders/disordered eating intersect and utilized a non-diet and intuitive eating approach to help athletes repair their relationship with food and fueling. While working at UNT, McKayla continued to pursued outpatient and private practice work with eating disorders and disordered eating as she continues to work towards her CEDS (Certified Eating Disorder Specialist) through iadep (The International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals).
McKayla has experience with a variety of different diagnoses including Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge-eating disorder and Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID.) She specializes in working with teens, emerging adults and young adults and their families. She enjoys working with clients and their families to support finding fulfilling ways of movement in tandem with healing relationships with food. McKayla is a weight-inclusive practitioner, and embodies an “all foods fit” and non-diet mentality.
