About Ella

Food is a meaningful part of our lives, deeply connected to culture, emotions, and memory. Because of this, our relationship with food often extends beyond basic physical hunger. At its core, food provides energy and nourishment—and when approached with care, it can also support healing. My name is Ella Gilboa, and I am a NYC-based registered dietitian. I have experience working with individuals across the lifespan, providing nutrition support for a wide range of health conditions. Nutrition can often feel confusing, overwhelming, and full of conflicting messages. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition. Instead, I tailor my work to each client’s unique needs, goals, and cultural background. My passion lies in helping individuals and families navigate nutrition in a way that is personalized, sustainable, and empowering.

Approach to care

Nutrition can often feel confusing, overwhelming, and filled with conflicting messages. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition. Instead, I tailor my work to each client’s unique needs, goals, and cultural background. My approach is rooted in helping clients feel supported, informed, and confident in their food choices. I invite clients to explore a personalized food journey that moves away from restrictive dieting and toward a more sustainable, feel-good approach to health. Together, we focus on building awareness, confidence, and a sense of ease in your body. I prioritize a client-centered approach that empowers you to trust yourself and make informed choices that align with your unique health and nutrition goals.

Your first session with Ella

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other. We’ll explore your health history, food habits, and the reasons you’re seeking support. I aim to understand your experiences with food, your daily life, and what you hope to shift or strengthen. I like to empower my clients to fully understand their bodies—their physiology, diagnoses, and the science behind how things work—so they can approach health with clarity and hope. I also provide practical tools, education, and handouts to help you build skills you can use in everyday life.
