Empowered Nutrition was founded as a way of bringing healthcare to the next generation of everyday people. Specifically, I’m referring to Functional Medicine, where we achieve incredible outcomes because:
Simply addressing symptoms isn’t enough, so we find root causes of chronic pain, fatigue, weight gain, gut health issues, elevated blood sugar levels and more.
We see you as a whole person. You are not just a fractured set of organs
We create customized plans. Therefore, your nutrition plan is actionable and effective
Your environment is also considered. In addition, this includes your sleep, stress levels, daily movement, toxin exposure, social support, and spirituality
Finally, we support you with responses to questions, ongoing accountability, nutrition education, and community
Finally, evidence-based care is the core of our practice. Therefore, we stay on top of the latest science so that we can bring you the best, most effective, and easy to implement plans.

Our Team of Licensed Dietitian Nutritionists and Administrators
Empowered Nutrition Founder
My name is Erin Skinner, and I’m a military veteran and Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. I have over 14 years of healthcare experience, which started with helping military aircrew and special forces optimize their performance. This also included best nutrition practices.
Throughout my own health journey, I’ve felt frustrated and neglected by the traditional medical community. So, I transitioned to the world of integrative and functional nutrition. I have since helped thousands of patients experience the relief of finding the root cause of their illnesses, and resolving them with individual nutrition plans.
Seeing my patients’ success made me passionate about functional medicine. However, I was still frustrated by the lack of access and high cost. As a result, I pursued my license to become an Integrative and Functional Certified Nutritional Practitioner. Later, I co-created one of the nation’s first insurance-based functional medicine clinics, the Inspire Health Center. This clinic’s success proved to me that functional medicine can be accessed through insurance. Empowered Nutrition is, above all, a continuation of this vision: to make the next generation of healthcare accessible to all.
I also teach nutrition professionals how to develop nutrition plans for patients who suffer from gastrointestinal conditions. As the co-founder of the SIBO Academy, I have become nationally renowned as an expert in gastrointestinal-focused nutrition as a result.
One of my key strengths as a dietitian is keeping close to the latest science. My current pursuit of my Doctor in Clinical Nutrition (DCN) through Rutgers University has helped me with this. Informing others has always been important to me, so I always translate nutrition science into layman terms. I’ve done so in my book, the Bone Broth Miracle Diet, and in the Empowered Nutrition Podcast.
Finally, I love to connect with and encourage others. I am compassionate and always put the experience of my patients first. Years of successfully coaching and counseling patients have led to my current philosophy: the perfect diet only works if it’s delivered in a way that is caring and supportive.
Aside from my nutrition career, I spend my time with my husband and three boys. As a military family, we love to go exploring and create adventures.
Lisa Peacock, BS
My name is Lisa Peacock and I am Empowered Nutrition’s Administrative Director. I am an Air Force veteran, military spouse, and mama to three amazing girls.
I became interested in healthcare management after struggling with the healthcare system while stationed overseas, and then even more so once back stateside. I decided to get my degree in Health Services Management to try and streamline processes and prevent others from experiencing many of the issues I had endured.
I have long had a passion for health and fitness. I am always looking to expand my knowledge on the nutritional impact on overall wellness. When I met Erin and heard of her plan to open Empowered Nutrition, I couldn’t wait to become part of her team!
I have a passion for indoor tropical plants and gardening, distance running, and CrossFit! I am excited to assist our clients pursue their best selves and am here to help however I can!
