About Me:

Welcome! My name is Maggie Huey, owner and founder of Pep Talk Nutrition LLC. I am ecstatic to have you here. As a Registered Dietitian, I have developed an expertise in pediatric weight management and have developed a passion for helping children, parents, young adults, and entire families find peace with food. During the first 5 years of my career I gained experience in areas ranging from metabolic disease, gastrointestinal diseases, sleep disorders, growth concerns, sensory processing disorders, various interventions for individuals with global delays, and sports nutrition. I hope to translate this experience into personalized one-on-one counseling and group classes in order to serve the Greater Cincinnati community and beyond.

Core Values:

I believe in inclusion over exclusion. Food is fuel for our body which means calories are energy and should not be viewed as the enemy. Focusing on giving your body what it needs, rather than what to avoid, can completely reform your relationship with food. Every individual lives in a unique body that differs from their peers, friends, and even family members. And every individual’s nutrition and lifestyle plan needs to be just as unique. As we work together I will always honor that you are the expert on your body, while I serve as the expert on food and nutrition sciences. Together, we can work to find the plan most suitable for you. Whether your goal be weight loss, blood glucose control, muscle mass accumulation, or improved energy, I am confident we can develop an effective partnership through nutrition counseling.

Beyond the Profession:

In addition to a Registered Dietitian and small business owner, I am also a mom and wife. While I currently reside in Jacksonville, Florida, much of my free time is spent traveling to visit family in Tennessee and Ohio. When spending time locally, I love exploring areas to eat, drink, and get outside with my husband, son, and our hound dogs, Phoebe and Franklin. After a day spent walking local parks, visiting the beach, or crafting, I love curling up with our kitty Ferguson or relaxing to an audio book on the porch with the pups.
