My name is Camille! I hold a Master’s degree in Nutrition & Dietetics and am currently pursuing licensure as a Registered Dietitian! I recently moved from upstate New York where I lived for my entire life to North Carolina with my husband. We are both incredibly passionate about nutrition and fitness and want to make wellness more accessible while people of all ages are living their day-to-day lives!

I started Camille Van Patten (CVP) Nutrition after some incredible experiences during my dietetic internship working in schools, fitness centers, and outpatient offices building nutrition educational materials, programs, and events. My preceptors and I saw such value in these nutrition initiatives that some even created jobs to fulfill the role I left. That showed me that there is in fact a need for more nutrition education and resources in the community but it doesn’t have to be limited to 1:1 sessions in an office or through a screen. While I love nutrition counseling as well (more to come on that!), I want to make sure the community has access to these resources through more education for students, fitness center members, and tangible items that you can walk out of an outpatient office with.

In the nutrition and wellness space there is so much confusion and misinformation. I want to help clear that up and make nutrition a fun and exciting topic to discuss rather than pushing you to “eat healthy”. The one thing that people tend to assume about nutrition professionals - that I am NOT - is the food police. I am not here to tell people what to eat or not eat. Simply present facts and knowledge so that you and your community can make informed decisions about your health. After all- we all like what we like and want to enjoy life!

In my free time, I love to go for walks, lift weights, and occasionally play golf with my husband however, I much prefer riding in the cart reading a book!
