Grocery Store Tours in Moore County
Learn How an Integrative & Functional Nutrition Pro Shops YOUR Local Stores!
You Won’t Believe What Opportunities Are Hidden in Plain Sight.
Here at Empowered Nutrition, we’re all about making wellness accessible and achievable. Part of that means teaching you how to shop at normal stores (no fancy or expensive shopping needed)!

When it comes to grocery shopping, we don’t just tell you. We show you! We have two ways that you can actually tour a local grocery store with one of our expert nutrition professionals:
Individual Grocery Store Tours
Join Registered Dietitian Rachel Gary at your most-frequented local grocery store. This session is individualized to you and your preferences. We’ll discuss:
- Making optimal choices for your favorite everyday foods, beverages, and ingredients
- How to really read nutrition labels (like a pro)
- What to look for on ingredient lists (some of these will surprise you!)
- Personal care product swaps – specific to your needs
- Some best options for broadening your horizons on new foods that you haven’t tried before
You’ll have plenty of time for questions throughout. Think of it as a VIP tour through your local shop.
Our 1:1 grocery store session is 60 minutes long and will help you make life-long changes towards optimizing your personal health.
Best of all? It might be covered by your insurance! Grocery store tours may be covered with insurance, and we also offer cash-pay options. Typically, the best time for a grocery store tour is AFTER your initial 1:1 session has taken place (see our process below).
Group Grocery Store Tours
Shopping is always more fun with a group! Join us for a group grocery store tour with Registered Dietitian, Rachel Gary, at a local grocery store in the Moore County area.
Locations will rotate (Southern Pines, Pinehurst, Aberdeen, etc.) and group sessions will be offered seasonally as a complimentary service.
In these fun, interactive tours, we will cover:
- Optimal choices for simple, nourishing meals that won’t break the bank
- What nutrition pros really look for on ingredient lists (you may be surprised what we avoid)
- Personal care products – making the safest + smartest choices
- You may even get to try some samples that the grocery store will provide us.
In this group tour, Rachel will also answer any of your general questions during our time together – this is an interactive event!
Our group grocery store tours are about 60 minutes and will help you make life-long changes towards optimizing your overall health.
While the group grocery store tours are more broad-based, they will also be themed (think different seasons, health goals, and food preferences/needs). So, please make sure that you are on our mailing list (below) and following us on social media to know when and where the next group grocery store tour will be!

Nutrition Professionals You Can Trust
Many claim to be a nutritionist. However, only a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) meets rigorous academic requirements. This includes: Extensive clinical training, a nutrition degree from an accredited university, passing a rigorous board exam, and meeting continuing education requirements. Further, we are Licensed Registered Dietitians (LDNs) in the state of North Carolina. We are credentialed in Integrative and Functional Nutrition. We also stay informed of the guidelines set by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. This allows us to provide our patients with expert nutrition counseling they need for success.
