Luana Furtado

About Luana

I'm a Registered Dietitian with a strong background in clinical nutrition and a passion for helping people feel empowered in their health journey. I’ve worked extensively with patients managing chronic kidney disease, diabetes, heart health concerns, and those needing nutrition support. Through virtual care, I’m here to bring you the same level of compassionate, evidence-based support you'd expect in a clinical setting—right from the comfort of your home.

Approach to care

Managing a health condition can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. My approach is grounded in both medical expertise and empathy. I take the time to understand your unique health history, lifestyle, and goals so we can create a plan that works for you. Whether we’re adjusting your diet for kidney function, improving blood sugar control, supporting your heart health, or working through tube feeding needs, I’ll always meet you with respect, flexibility, and zero judgment.

Your first session with Luana

Our first session is all about getting to know you. I’ll ask about your medical history, current eating patterns, lab values (if applicable), and any challenges or concerns you’re facing. Together, we’ll start building a plan that supports your health in realistic, sustainable ways. You’ll leave with clarity, a sense of direction, and a partner in your care moving forward.

Education

Bachelors of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics

Hobbies

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active through exercise and yoga, and I love cooking balanced meals that nourish both body and mind. You’ll often find me relaxing on the beach or spending time with my fur baby, Oshi. I believe that a healthy lifestyle should feel enjoyable, not restrictive.
