Priyanka has always loved creating recipes and cooking for others. Due to her journey with emotional eating and weight loss, she was inspired to pursue a career as a registered dietitian nutritionist. From this experience, she can empathize with her patients struggling with healthy eating and empower them to reach their goals using mindfulness techniques to realign their relationship with food. Before joining Culina Health, Priyanka worked in outpatient settings focusing on bariatrics and weight management.
