A registered dietitian nutritionist and certified diabetes care and education specialist, Schlachter is dedicated to promoting health and wellness through thorough nutrition care. He specializes in medically and psychologically complex nutrition conditions, including diabetes, malnutrition, substance abuse disorder, fibromyalgia, IBS, and eating disorders.
Schlachter’s interest in nutrition had its foundation in his early career as a chef in New York City. Understanding the healing power of food led him to seek credentials as a registered dietitian. He later earned his master’s degree in nutrition from Texas Woman’s University and became a certified diabetes care and education specialist.
As the founder of Houston Family Nutrition (nutrition counseling and services), Schlachter has created a judgment-free space where clients can explore and understand their relationship with food, body, and mind. His practice includes inpatient, outpatient, and critical care at Houston VA Medical Center, the Medical Clinic of Houston, and The Menninger Clinic.
A spokesperson for the Texas Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Foundation, Schlachter is well-grounded in media and a leading expert in his field.
In his free time, he enjoys road trips and adventures with his family.
