Meet our founder

Embrace Whole Health was founded by Cassandra Pedersen, RD, a Functional Registered Dietitian in private practice since 2017. Before she was ever a dietitian, she was the patient nobody could figure out: dismissed, told it was anxiety, and told her labs looked normal.

That’s why we do things differently. If you’ve felt dismissed, overlooked, or misunderstood, you’re in the right place. We look at the whole person and find the root cause together.
