About
Erin Botticelli, MS, RD, LDN is the registered dietitian at PLC's Shelton office. She holds a BS in Biology from Salem State University and an MS in Nutrition and Health Promotion from Simmons University, with a Sports Nutrition and Entrepreneurship certificate. Before PLC, she served as Head Dietitian at a medical weight-loss clinic in Foxboro, MA. Her background also includes research work at the Massachusetts General Hospital Neuroendocrine Lab and a parallel private practice in gut health, integrative weight loss, and functional nutrition.
What to Know
Signature approach
Botticelli works weight and metabolic health through behavior change, not short-term restriction. She reads daily routine, eating patterns, goals, digestive context, and functional-nutrition factors together, then builds a plan that can sit beside the PLC exam findings. Her medical-weight-loss-clinic background makes her useful when a patient needs structure around medication, nutrition, and habit change.
What sets them apart
- Medical weight-loss background. Former Head Dietitian experience gives her direct clinical weight-management context.
- Research and nutrition training. Simmons graduate training plus MGH neuroendocrine research add rigor beyond generic wellness coaching.
- Gut and functional-nutrition lens. Her outside practice adds digestive and integrative context to metabolic-health planning.
Before You Book
- Care focus. Sustainable weight management, metabolic health, gut-health questions, and nutrition plans that need behavior-change support.
- Program context. Ask how Shelton nutrition follow-up works after the full-day exam.
- Availability. She also maintains an outside private practice, so confirm PLC schedule if continuity matters.
