About Mary
Mary began working with a dietitian at a young age and grew up with a first-hand understanding of how food choices impact physical and mental health. While this experience stuck with Mary throughout her teen years, she ended up pursuing a career in Geotechnical Engineering (no big deal). After 6 years in the engineering world, Mary had an epiphany: She wanted to help others the way her dietitian had helped her. That same year, she returned to school for her Master’s in nutrition and the registered dietitian credential. Mary is one of the original members of Culina Health–she’s been here since the team was a group of just 4 dietitians!

What’s one small thing someone can do today to work toward a balanced eating pattern/lifestyle? I often recommend patients start by paying attention to what’s already on their plate. I think when someone knows what their existing meal composition looks like, they can better understand where, and how, to adjust as needed to achieve balance.
Nutrition philosophy in a nutshell: Moderation! No diet is sustainable forever, so for me, optimal nutrition is all about eating with moderation. That goes for indulgent foods and veggies alike. If you eat a combination of foods that make you feel happy, and others that are good for your health, you can achieve a balanced intake that can last forever.
