Meet Bret Hermansky

Bret is a born and raised Vermonter and registered dietitian nutritionist with 7 years of experience. She received her Dietetics and Nutrition Food Science degree from the University of Vermont and is the immediate Past President of the Vermont Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

Bret loves seeing her clients make tangible progress and watching their improved health change their lives. For instance, she loves working with people who are at their last straw, ready to be done with dieting and/or obsessing about food in various ways. She loves helping clients realize that 20 years of yo-yo dieting is hard and miserable, and that there is a way out. She relishes, in particular, the small victories — like when someone lets her know that, for the first time, they went out to dinner with their family and ordered what they wanted without guilt and shame! In general, she takes pleasure in helping her clients improve their quality of life through a healthier relationship with food.

Bret likes shopping for food and gifts at the local farmer’s markets and dining at Vermont’s many farm-to-table restaurants. In her spare time, she loves reading and exploring her home state with her husband, including hiking in the Green Mountains, swimming at local swimming holes, and walking with their Great Pyrenees, Meera.
