Meet the Nutritionist at Arc Health Services
My name is Melissa Marlowe. I’m a registered dietitian and I provide 1:1 nutrition counseling in the clinic. I also provide nutrition support to our residential department. I’ve had the privilege of being able to work for the Arc of Monroe for almost 4 years. I primarily work with individuals on weight loss and managing their various medical conditions through lifestyle changes including the incorporation of healthy foods and beverages as well as physical activity.
