About Alagu Selvi

Alagu Selvi Kadappan MS, RD, LDN Hello! I'm Alagu – it's a pleasure to meet you. I’m passionate about food, nutrition, and the power of small, sustainable changes in diet and physical activity to positively impact health. I currently work as an inpatient dietitian at a hospital in Massachusetts and have previously taught Nutrition at the University level. I have experience working with culturally diverse communities. My areas of specialization include mindful eating, diabetes management, weight management, heart and gut health, and chronic disease prevention - all grounded in an evidence-based approach.

Approach to care

My approach to care is personalized and patient-centered, focusing on your unique health needs, lifestyle, and goals. Using an evidence-based framework, I collaborate with you to co-create nutritional goals, explore and experiment with sustainable changes, and support you through the process. I encourage the use of self-monitoring tools and provide practical guidance on choosing healthier food options and place a strong emphasis on whole foods and balanced meals using the MyPlate method. I also offer support in reading food labels and navigating packaged foods, and making food and lifestyle adjustments that align with your cultural background and preferences. As a compassionate and trustworthy provider, I’m committed to offering personalized care tailored to your needs. Together, we can create meaningful, realistic changes that fit your lifestyle and support your overall well-being.
