About Christina

Christina is passionate about helping individuals achieve their health goals through evidence-based, sustainable nutrition recommendations. Growing up, she had a complex relationship with food and body. This led her to improve her understanding of how food and emotions were interrelated. Additionally, her background in sports sparked a lifelong curiosity about performance nutrition and understanding how to use food as fuel. In her work, Christina is passionate about helping patients understand the “why” behind their food habits, and loves seeing the big impact even small changes can make.

Nutrition philosophy in a nutshell: Shift the focus from what foods to cut out to which foods you can add. Focus on pairing protein + fiber together at snacks and meals!

Nutrition myth or trend you find particularly annoying and would like to set the record straight: That all carbohydrates are bad! Carbohydrates are not bad, just misunderstood. The key is making sure you have fiber with your carbohydrates!
