My name is Alexandria Hardy and I am the owner of Pennsylvania Nutrition Services (PNS). I’m a registered and licensed dietitian with 15 years of nutrition counseling experience in clinical and community settings. I have my Certificate of Training in Adult Weight Management and I am Peanut Pro Certified through the National Peanut Board.

I’m also a mom and plant-based eater who focuses on prioritizing local and seasonal foods. My nutrition philosophy is simple: food is nourishing and an essential and necessary part of our daily lives. I value variety, simplicity, and color in my shopping cart and think that a balanced meal can look like a frozen pizza paired with a bagged salad.

I work with individuals and families who are interested in weight management or who have chronic conditions like Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. PNS is currently in-network with the following insurance companies: Amerihealth, Aetna, Cigna, Highmark, Independence Blue Cross, Medicare, United Health Care, and UPMC. I can bill for medical nutrition therapy codes and preventative nutrition services. For out of network patients, Pennsylvania Nutrition Services accepts cash, credit and FSA/HSA cards. PNS currently offers daytime, evening, and weekend hours as well as telehealth appointments.

Not interested in nutrition coaching? PNS also offers seminars and content creation! I specialize in breaking down nutrition science into easy to understand text for a general audience.
