Hi! My name is Giovana, and I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. I blend my passion for plant-based nutrition, delicious eats, and effective dietary strategies that are as simple as they are impactful. My interest in nutrition sparked from a desire to prevent and treat diseases thus my career began in the hospital setting. During my time there I saw a significant need for preventative, reversal, and post-nutrition counseling.
With a strong background in clinical nutrition, I specialize in tackling conditions like heart disease and providing personalized guidance for managing diabetes. My approach is deeply rooted in personalized care, whether you're looking to boost your energy levels, improve digestion, or achieve weight loss goals. I'm here to make nutrition both accessible and enjoyable for you.
I believe in promoting a balanced approach to food, where no foods are labeled as "good" or "bad." Instead, I encourage you to enjoy your favorite foods while making sustainable adjustments. Understanding the cultural significance of food and its role in identity is essential, and together, we’ll honor your traditions while discovering the foods that best support your health and well-being.
My method goes beyond simple meal planning. I emphasize a program-based approach that includes accountability and support. By focusing on habit changes first, we’ll establish long-lasting practices that nourish your body and soul, moving away from short-lived trends in favor of enduring wellness.
In our work together, I challenge you to engage in un-dieting by unlearning diet culture and reframing your self-talk from restrictive phrases like “I can’t eat that” to empowering statements like “I choose not to eat that right now.” This shift helps take away the power words have over us, fostering a healthier mindset towards food.
Your path to better health is unique, and I'm here to guide you every step of the way. From exploring self-care practices to celebrating your personal relationship with food, we'll create a plan tailored just for you. Let's embark on this journey to wellness together!
