About Lisa
I come from a very food-focused family. My parents were Italian and food was always central to my life. My dad had diabetes, and my mom was on every diet known to man! Nutrition seemed like the perfect career path. I started work as a hospital/clinical dietitian but also have experience in community and culinary nutrition. I started a private practice to encourage people that "health is in their hands". I am the author of 3 cookbooks and several nutrition- and health-related articles. I specialize in autoimmune diseases, metabolic conditions (diabetes, pre-diabetes, cardiovascular disease, weight management), aging, and women's health.
Approach to care
I like to take a personalized approach to nutrition counseling and want clients to find enjoyable ways to improve their health. I focus on "what can we add to your diet" versus, "what should we take away". I offer sustainable ways to meet your health goals and personalize nutrition information based on culture, food preferences/tolerances, lifestyle, budget, and skill level.
Your first session with Lisa
Your first session will include an extensive interview about your health goals, current diet, lifestyle, sleep, stress, and exercise habits. We'll discuss what's worked for you before and what you'd like to learn in the session. After the session, information will be provided to help facilitate your health and nutrition goals.
