Welcome! I'm Blair,
the registered dietitian behind Bites With Blair. I'm here to help you sort out nutrition fact from fiction in a world of so much misinformation.
I've worked in a variety of settings as a dietitian, including hospitals, ICUs, community centers, stand-alone ERs, and private practice.
I'm passionate about chronic disease prevention and overall wellness through a plant-forward, protein-rich diet. I've helped thousands of patients and clients improve their lab work and manage chronic illnesses.
When I'm not working, I love cooking, gardening, organizing, working out, and spending time with my kids.
Blair's Philosophy
Health is the overall bird's eye view of your diet and lifestyle -- including sleep, stress management, self care, and relationships.
We can still eat chips and cookies, y'all! Everything is a balance.
Eating more plant-based foods does not need to be difficult, expensive, or bland. I am here to show you that being healthy can be easy, cheap, and enjoyable.
Education and Experience
I obtained my Bachelors of Science degree in Nutrition and Dietetics with Honors from The University of Texas at Austin. Then I went on to obtain my Masters of Science in Human Sciences from Texas A&M University - Kingsville, where I also completed the dietetic internship to become a Registered and Licensed Dietitian in Texas.
After several years working in clinical dietetics, I became a Certified Nutrition Support Clinician to be proficient in ordering and recommending enteral and parenteral nutrition support to patients in the ICU and acute-care hospital setting. I've worked with thousands of patients to help manage acute and chronic illnesses including diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, malnutrition, and critical illness.
I started Bites With Blair as a hobby Instagram account back in 2016 while in college and eventually transitioned it to a blog and private practice focused on plant-based nutrition, chronic disease management, and overall wellness in 2020. I've been featured in several well-known publications including VegNews, EatingWell, Eat This Not That, Health, Yahoo Lifestyle, She Finds, and US News & World Report. Aside from working on my blog and private practice, I also currently contract with emergency rooms in Texas to provide nutrition services to acute-care patients.
I'm a vegan registered dietitian, home gardener (aiming to be fully self-sufficient one day!), NPC Fit Model competitor, and mom of littles. I'm also a member of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and Vegetarian Nutrition DPG. I'm currently serving as Assistant Co-Editor of the Vegetarian Nutrition Newsletter for VNDPG. I've contributed to adding vegan and vegetarian sample menus throughout the Nutrition Care Manual and peer-reviewed Vegetarian Athlete and Binge Eating case studies for the Sports Nutrition Care Manual.
