Jamie Trettel

My name is Jamie Trettel, and I am a clinical dietitian specializing in long-term acute care. Each day, I work with a variety of medical conditions, which makes my role both challenging and rewarding. I have a particular passion for working with the geriatric population, as it allows me to explore the intricate connection between aging and nutrition.

In addition to geriatric care, I also work with athletes, leveraging my clinical expertise to help them optimize their performance. This unique combination of experience allows me to provide tailored nutritional guidance, whether it’s enhancing athletic ability or supporting the health needs of older adults.

When people ask why I chose to focus on geriatric care, my answer is simple: not everyone will experience a medical diagnosis requiring specialized care, but we all share the universal experience of aging.

The Berry Street platform offers an incredible opportunity to expand my reach, showing more individuals how small, practical changes to their diet and lifestyle can prevent premature admissions into long-term care. My ultimate goal is to educate and empower people to take proactive steps toward healthier, more fulfilling lives.
