Meet Marissa

Real guidance from a real person who's been doing this for years.

As Regal Weight Loss's chief consultant and a certified nutritionist, Marissa has worked one-on-one with hundreds of clients across the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

Her focus isn't fad diets, restrictive eating plans, or one-size-fits-all rules. It's helping you change the way you eat — sustainably, realistically, and on your terms.

Whether you're managing weight, fighting obesity, or simply tired of guessing what to put on your plate, Marissa builds a plan around your life. Not the other way around.

The approach

Real guidance, not another diet.

Most people don't need more rules. They need someone in their corner who actually pays attention. That's what working with Marissa looks like.

01

One-on-one. Always.

No apps, no templates, no chatbots. Every session is a conversation with Marissa. You're known by name, not by case number.

02

Built around you.

Your food preferences, schedule, health conditions, and goals shape your plan. The plan should fit your life — not the other way around.

03

For the long term.

We focus on habit change, not white-knuckle restriction. The goal is a way of eating you can actually keep — for years, not weeks.

An honest answer

"Nutritionist or dietitian — which do I need?"

It's the most common question we hear. Both work in nutrition, but they have different training paths and different scopes. Here's the honest breakdown.

Registered Dietitian (RD/RDN)
Best for
Eating habits, weight management, lifestyle nutrition, wellness coaching, your relationship with food
Clinical and hospital settings, complex medical conditions managed through nutrition
Style of work
Personalized, conversational, lifestyle-focused, long-term habit change
Clinical, often condition-specific, frequently hospital-based
Typical client
Adults seeking real guidance on eating, weight, energy, and overall health
Patients referred for specific medical needs (e.g. kidney disease, post-surgery)
Where they work
Private practice and wellness offices like ours in Mesquite
Hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities
Short version: If you're looking for help with weight, eating habits, or simply how to feed yourself well — a certified nutritionist like Marissa is exactly the right fit. If you have a serious medical condition that requires clinical nutrition therapy, we'll happily refer you to a Registered Dietitian.

Initial consultation
Marissa has been knowledgeable, easily reached, and very responsive to anything I need. She has been a huge down-to-earth cheerleader. I'm down over 60 pounds in 10 months — my BP, cholesterol, and cardiac function are all back to normal.

What to expect

Your free consultation, step by step.

No pressure. No commitment. Just a real conversation about what you're trying to do and whether we can help.

Step 01

We talk.

A 30-minute conversation about your goals, your history, what's worked, and what hasn't. No forms to fill out.

Step 02

We listen.

No judgment. No lecture. Marissa learns where you are now and where you actually want to go — in your own words.

Step 03

We plan.

If we're a good fit, we'll lay out what working together would look like — costs, frequency, and approach. Up front.

Step 04

You decide.

No pressure. Many people leave with clarity and decide later. That's perfectly fine. The first session is yours, no strings.

Common questions

The things most people ask first.

Is the first consultation really free?
Yes — completely. There's no charge, no obligation, and no pressure to continue afterward. The free consultation exists so you can see whether working with Marissa feels right before committing to anything.
Where is your office?
Our office is in Mesquite, TX. We work with clients across the greater DFW area, including Dallas, Garland, Forney, Sunnyvale, Rockwall, Balch Springs, and surrounding communities. Virtual sessions are also available if that works better for your schedule.
How much does ongoing nutrition counseling cost?
Costs depend on the plan that fits your situation, so we'll share specifics during your free consultation. We'll always be upfront about pricing before you commit to anything — no surprise fees, no fine print.
Do you accept insurance?
We don't process insurance directly, but we can provide receipts (often called superbills) that you may submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. We're happy to walk through this with you during your consultation.
Can we meet virtually instead of in-person?
Yes. Many clients combine in-person and virtual sessions based on their schedule. The conversation, the plan, and the results don't change — just the location.
What's the difference between a certified nutritionist and a registered dietitian?
Both work in nutrition, but they have different training paths and scopes of practice. A certified nutritionist like Marissa focuses on lifestyle, eating habits, weight management, and wellness coaching. A Registered Dietitian (RD/RDN) typically works in clinical or hospital settings managing complex medical conditions through nutrition. For most people seeking guidance on weight, eating habits, and overall health, a certified nutritionist is exactly the right fit.
I've tried diets before and they didn't work. Why would this be different?
Because it isn't a diet. Marissa doesn't hand you a list of forbidden foods and wish you luck. The work is about understanding why you eat the way you eat, and building something sustainable that fits your actual life. That's why clients stay — and why their results last.
