Teresa is absolutely amazing. I am so confident I’m not between her and the physical therapy folks, I will be better than before my surgery and no time!!
Caroline Pruente, MS, RDN, LDN is a licensed Registered
Dietitian Nutritionist. Raised in Texas and Tennessee, Caroline was
thrilled to move back to Tennessee after earning her Bachelor of
Human Environmental Sciences with an emphasis in Food, Nutrition,
and Dietetics and Masters in Dietetics at the University of
Missouri. She also completed her dietetic internship through
University of Missouri’s Coordinated Program in Dietetics at the
University Hospital in Columbia, Missouri in the Medical and
Surgical ICUs. She gained invaluable clinical experience while
practicing and providing medical nutrition therapy and nutrition
support to mid-Missouri’s most critical patients.
While in Columbia, Caroline completed a two-year internship at the
Mizzou Athletic Training Center. Working one-on-one with D1
athletes from all sports, she provided sports nutrition education,
created meal plans for individual athletes to better meet their
goals, and was responsible for the football team’s post-practice
snack station, ensuring the new SEC team was properly fueled.
From studying recipe development, food sustainability, and
Intuitive Eating in Italy, to working with individuals with eating
disorders in multiple levels of care, Caroline quickly discovered a
passion for helping others develop nourishing, peaceful
relationships with food. Ever since, she has been an advocate for a
non-diet lifestyle, basing health, nutrition, and movement
decisions on one’s intuition for their own body.
Caroline is currently involved in multiple areas of the nutrition
& dietetics field, working as a Clinical Dietitian at Methodist
LeBonheur Healthcare and as a Nutrition Therapist with Memphis
Nutrition Group. In her free time, she enjoys baking cakes, keeping
up with her Instagram @MintToEat, and running through Memphis
trails and parks. She is excited to continue Memphis Nutrition
Group’s partnership with Campbell Clinic by offering onsite
nutrition-related services at Accel Performance and Wellness!
