Bio
I live with my husband and our two boys in the beautiful coastal town of Wilmington, NC. After spending many years in social work and human services, I decided to pursue my passion for health and wellness. I earned my Master of Science degree in dietetics through Eastern Michigan University. I completed my 1,200 hours of supervised practice right here in Wilmington, including rotations at New Hanover Regional Medical Center and Wilmington Health Endocrinology. I earned my registered dietitian credentials through the Committee of Dietetic Registration and am a licensed nutritionist in NC. In addition to private practice, I am currently involved in corporate wellness, and have experience working with clients having various medical conditions, including diabetes, GI disorders, eating disorders, and bariatric surgery.
Melissa Flynn, MS, RD/LDN
Owner, Innovate Nutrition
It is my mission to help others find improved health and wellness through nutrition. Research continues to link nutrition to physical and mental health, emphasizing the importance of good nutrition in both healthy individuals and those affected by chronic health conditions. I believe in using an evidence-based approach to medical nutrition therapy and feel strongly about the need to continuously and critically evaluate current practice standards, as new research becomes available. I have additional special interests in the gut microbiome, immunology and oncology nutrition.
