Margot Korb, MS, RD, LD

Registered Dietitian | Licensed Dietitian | Creator of The Well-Minded Plate Method

I help people navigate the space between diet culture and “just trust your body”—with nutrition support that actually accounts for mental health, real life, and day-to-day capacity.

Making nutrition work for real life?

That's my superpower.

My Story & My "Why"

I spent over a decade working in clinical settings, including years in mental health and substance use treatment—where I saw firsthand how often standard nutrition advice fails people whose lives are genuinely complicated.

 

Not because they didn’t care.
Not because they didn’t know what to do.

​

But because the approach didn’t account for mental health, energy, routines, or real-life barriers.

I also saw how hard it was to actually do this work well in traditional settings—where appointments are short, support is limited, and access to care is inconsistent.

​

I wanted to spend more time with my patients. To actually understand what was getting in their way.

And to help them build something that would work in their real life.

​

That’s why I started my private practice, The Well-Minded Plate.​

What I Believe About Care:

I believe nutrition care should support the whole person, not just symptoms, numbers, or behaviors.

 

Eating patterns are shaped by mental health, stress, energy, medications, and real-life circumstances. Not just knowledge or motivation.


That means:

  • Care should account for mental health, stress load, energy, and real-life capacity

  • Progress should be measured by sustainability, not perfection

  • Nutrition should feel supportive and stabilizing, not another source of pressure

  • Education should help people make their own decisions, not create dependence

  • Care should respect each person's background, culture, and lived experience

  • Medication side effects that impact appetite, cravings, and energy are real and deserve to be addressed

​

I also believe in clear boundaries and ethical care.

 

My work is nutrition support—not therapy—and I collaborate with other providers when additional support is needed.

This philosophy guides every session, program, and resource I create.
