About Chrissa

My nutrition journey has allowed me to gain control of my health and witness significant improvements in the health of my patients, clients, and students. As a dietitian, my work has included a range of patient needs. My clinical expertise is in treating chronic diseases: cardiovascular disease, diabetes, IBS, PCOS and others. In addition to my work here at Nourish, I am a professor of nutrition and dietetics. I teach soon-to-be dietitians and research the health benefits of strawberries.

Approach to care

First, each person has unique nutrition needs. Individuals understand best their circumstances, health needs, and preferences. The best approach to nutrition care is individual. Second, nutrition interventions are powerful. What you eat has a strong effect on how you feel and how you heal. Third, nutrition interventions affect many aspects of life. Nutrition interventions are ineffective unless families, economics, environment, and lifestyle are considered.
