About Michael

Hi, my name is Michael Persichilli and I am a registered dietitian with a passion for helping people feel their best through food. My career began in the world of sports nutrition, where I spent five seasons working with professional athletes in Major League Baseball. That experience taught me the importance of personalized, practical nutrition strategies that support both performance and long-term health. Now, as an outpatient dietitian, I bring that same energy to working with individuals from all walks of life. Whether you're managing a medical condition, navigating a new diagnosis, or simply looking to feel more confident in your food choices, I'm here to support and empower you with realistic, sustainable guidance. Let’s work together to find what nourishes you.

Approach to care

My background taught me that nutrition isn't one-size-fits-all — it’s about meeting people where they are and building from there. My approach to care is rooted in empowerment, collaboration, and practicality. I aim to create a supportive space where you can explore your goals without judgment, and I focus on helping you build habits that feel realistic, sustainable, and aligned with your lifestyle and values. Whether you're looking to manage a health condition, improve energy, or simply feel better in your body, I’m here to help you make confident, informed choices — at your pace, on your terms.

Your first session with Michael

Your first appointment is all about you. We’ll take time to talk through your goals, health history, current habits, and any challenges you're facing with food or nutrition. Whether you’re coming in with a diagnosis, a specific goal, or just a desire to feel better, we’ll work together to build a personalized plan that fits your lifestyle. Expect a conversation, not a lecture — I’m here to listen, answer your questions, and help you feel supported every step of the way. You’ll leave with practical steps you can start right away, plus a clear direction for what comes next.
