About Christina
I grew up as a competitive swimmer in a Greek family that cherished cooking and sharing meals. My passion for nutrition was sparked in college as a Division 1 swimmer, where I became fascinated with the science behind fueling my performance. This inspired me to become a dietitian, gaining extensive experience in medical nutrition therapy, particularly in cardiovascular health.
I love helping people realize they can still enjoy their favorite foods while working toward their health goals. The nutrition space can feel overwhelming to navigate, and I am here to guide patients to sustainable changes and lasting success.

A mindful eating moment you had recently: “I feel good about stopping now that I’m comfortably full and satisfied with my meal. I can always have more later if I’m hungry again.”
Nutrition myth or trend you find particularly annoying and would like to set the record straight: “Carbs are bad for you” Carbohydrates are your body’s primary source of energy and fuel. Just like a car needs gas to run, your body needs carbs to keep going strong.
