Nicole Doering

I’m Nikki Doering, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with over 13 years of experience and the owner of Guilt-Free Fork, a private dietetics practice dedicated to helping individuals break free from toxic dieting cycles and develop a healthier, more balanced relationship with food.

I believe in the transformative power of nutrition to nourish both the body and the mind. My approach is rooted in compassion, evidence-based guidance, and personalized care, ensuring each client receives the support they need to thrive. Whether you're looking to improve health biomarkers, enhance gut health, boost energy, balance your mood, or cultivate a positive mindset around food, I’ll be with you every step of the way. Together, we’ll dismantle harmful dieting patterns and work towards a sustainable, fulfilling approach to nutrition that aligns with your unique health journey.

A key offering in my practice is my signature Guilt-Free Fork Support Program. This 12-week program provides personalized support to help you break free from toxic dieting cycles, set achievable health goals, and create a balanced, sustainable approach to nutrition. With one-on-one expert guidance, individualized nutrition planning, and a focus on mindset, you'll learn how to meet your health goals without counting calories or tracking food.

One of the most important lessons I’ve learned throughout my career is the power of support in achieving goals. My personal belief is: “The secret to success is support.”

In addition to my work as a dietitian, I’m also the host of "Hey Girl, Hey", a podcast dedicated to uplifting women's voices and experiences. Through candid conversations, I aim to create a space where women can feel empowered, heard, and inspired to embrace their unique journeys.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, including my wonderful husband and two kids. I’m an avid fan of movies and shows, and I love getting lost in a good book. When I need to unwind, you’ll often find me enjoying the outdoors, I love birdwatching. I also love piecing together a jigsaw puzzle. These activities help me stay balanced and grounded, mirroring my approach to nutrition – taking time for the little things and appreciating the process.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nutrition from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, and completed my dietetic internship at the University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview, in 2011. Over the years, I’ve worked as a Nutrition Counselor and Educator at a nutrition education and wellness company, provided nutrition care to bariatric surgery patients and weight management patients in a teaching hospital system, and managed the nutrition care for elderly and rehab patients in a long-term care facility.
