Your Nutrition Expert!
Matthew Wilhelm, RD, LDN
Clinical Registered Dietitian
Email: mrwilhelm@apprhs.org
My name is Matthew Wilhelm and I am the Registered Dietitian at the Wellness Center. I am a graduate of Appalachian State University where I was awarded degrees in Health Promotion and Nutrition and Foods with a concentration in dietetics. I furthered my education and experience through the Dietetic Internship at UNC-Greensboro. My career focus has been primarily in weight management and diabetes management but, I enjoy all areas of nutrition. I believe nutrition plays a major role in every aspect of health and I hope to improve health outcomes in the High Country region. My favorite fruit is cantaloupe and my favorite vegetable is broccoli. My enjoyments in life are spending time with my family, hiking, traveling, golfing, and fly-fishing.
We Believe:
All foods can fit. Individual foods are not necessarily good or bad.
It’s the accumulation of good choices over days, weeks, and months that make a healthy diet.
Good nutrition comes from setting goals and making mindful dietary choices.
Our Registered Dietitians have experience with a variety of medical concerns including obesity, diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease. In addition, they have worked with a variety of medical conditions, and with both adults and children. They are registered with the Commission on Dietetic Registration and Licensed with the state of North Carolina to practice Nutrition and Dietetics.
Clients can also rest assured that the information we provide will be evidenced-based and supported by sound research. We also strive to provide nutrition tips that are practical and that most people can reasonably incorporate into a busy lifestyle.

Throughout this class your child will learn basic kitchen safety skills and increase their confidence in helping prepare meals in the kitchen. They will also learn the basics of nutrition focusing on sugar, healthy carbohydrates and protein, and how to build a balanced plate. Your child will leave the class feeling accomplished and excited about cooking healthy meals, snacks and desserts.
“They are great coaches and motivators. I have learned so much about nutrition and fitness. I have been able to adapt my habits and make positive and lasting lifestyle changes. I’m on course to achieving my goal for weight, nutrition, and health–couldn’t achieve it during the 16 weeks I’ve just finished, but my goals are in sight and I will keep working on them (with help from my great coaches!).”
“I really appreciated meeting as “a team” to talk about nutrition and exercise. I appreciated the encouragement and motivation. I appreciated how the “pace” changed across time–we started where I “was” with my eating and fitness and the pace introduced appropriate challenges as the weeks progressed–so, not too much too soon.”
“This is a fantastic program! Heather Casey is the bomb and a life saver! She helped me be successful and I lost over 10lbs and now over 20lbs because of her and Horton’s guidance.”
