About Hirut

I’m a Registered Dietitian with over a decade of experience in clinical nutrition, specializing in medical nutrition therapy for a broad range of chronic and complex conditions. My expertise includes managing Weight Loss, Diabetes, Hypertension, Hyperlipidemia, Kidney Disease, Autoimmune and Bowel Disorders, SIBO, PCOS, Bariatric care, and Menopause-related nutrition. I have a strong foundation in the use of weight loss medications and guide clients through every phase—from initial preparation to ongoing management and deprescribing when appropriate. I also have experience working with individuals navigating Binge Eating Disorder and deeply understand the emotional layers that often shape eating patterns and body image.

Approach to care

My passion for nutrition extends far beyond numbers and food rules. Having personally faced the emotional and social challenges of morbid obesity, I bring empathy, lived experience, and non-judgmental support to every session. I believe real change begins with understanding the “why” behind our habits and creating a space where healing, not shame, leads the way. Nutrition should be accessible, practical, and personal. That’s why my approach is centered on sustainable lifestyle changes that are realistic and tailored to your unique history, needs, and goals. Whether you're looking to improve your health, manage a diagnosis, or feel more at home in your body, I’m here to walk that journey with you—one step at a time. Let’s build a healthier, more empowered relationship with food—together.

By the end of the session, you can expect: • A clearer understanding of your symptoms • Insight into how your nutrition, labs, and body systems are connected • Personalized next steps • Clarity and confidence to support your long term health
