Alyssa Morando

About Alyssa

My name is Alyssa and my passion for nutrition and fitness comes from my own lifelong struggle with weight management and a personal journey that led me to lose over 100 pounds. I understand firsthand how challenging, frustrating, and emotional this process can be—and that understanding is what inspired me to become a registered dietitian to help others. Additionally, my extensive experience obtained working clinically allows me to be able to counsel patients with many nutrition related issues beyond weight management.

Approach to care

By combining my personal experience with professional knowledge, I’m able to support others with empathy, realism, and evidence-based guidance. My mission is to help people achieve their goals in a sustainable way, build confidence in themselves, and create a healthier lifestyle they can maintain long term.

Your first session with Alyssa

During your first session, you can expect a supportive, judgment-free experience focused on understanding you as a whole person—not just your weight or fitness level. We’ll talk through your health history, past experiences with weight loss, nutrition, and exercise, as well as your goals, challenges, and lifestyle. This helps ensure everything we do is realistic, safe, and tailored specifically to you. The goal of our first session is to build trust, confidence, and a strong foundation for sustainable progress.
