Let’s Meet Erin!
Erin Sal is a Registered Dietitian & Diabetes Nutrition & Lifestyle Coach.
Erin earned her bachelor’s degree from Purdue University in 2018 and then completed her dietetic internship at Central Michigan University in 2020. Erin has since been working as a Registered Dietitian in a variety of different healthcare settings including a Level 1 Trauma Center where she worked on a variety of different hospital units including diabetes, cardiac, stroke, surgical, and intensive care units.
More recently Erin has been working at an inpatient physical rehabilitation hospital. Throughout her career, Erin has seen firsthand what complications can come about from lacking diabetes care.
This has led Erin to create her own virtual private practice where she works with clients with Type 2 Diabetes, whether newly diagnosed, long-time diagnosed, or those with pre-diabetes. Working with clients with diabetes has been a life-long passion of Erin’s and is the reason she became a Dietitian.
She enjoys educating clients on how they can lower their blood sugar & stop struggling with their weight - all while consuming their favorite foods. When she isn’t educating clients on nutrition, you can find Erin cooking up a wholesome meal in the kitchen, sweating it out at hot yoga, or playing with her Goldendoodle Labradoodle fur baby, Marlee Mae.”
