Meet the dietitian,
Dr. Emily, DCN, RD
I’m Emily - a Registered Dietitian with a doctorate in clinical nutrition passionate about all things gut & digestive health.
The food you eat and your unique gut microbiome are powerful tools to influence health, reduce the effect of gastrointestinal disease, and promote longevity.
Diving into the field of digestive health opened my eyes to the fact that eating isn’t always an enjoyable experience for everyone, depending on the symptoms that followed or anxiety around food choices.
I dedicated my studies to gut health so that you can be nourished by the food you eat, improve your overall wellbeing through your gut microbiome, and feel good doing so!
EDUCATION
Doctorate in Clinical Nutrition, Fairfield University
Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics & Bachelor of Arts in Spanish Language, Buffalo State University
Low FODMAP Diet for IBS Training, Monash University
My passion for food didn't start with my nutrition textbook or even as someone who enjoys spending time in the kitchen. My passion started with realizing how food empowers individuals and brings people together.
However, struggling with gastrointestinal conditions often leads to isolation, frustration, & a tense relationship with food.
As a dietitian, my goal to empower you to feel confident in nourishing your body while minimizing digestive symptoms. That way you can enjoy food by fueling your body, experimenting with new flavors, & spending time with loved ones over a meal without focusing on where the nearest restroom is or how you might feel the next day.
Just like each person has a unique experience with digestive health, there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to nutrition. You and I will take a personalized approach to manage your bloating, diarrhea, or whatever you're dealing with, while still including your favorite foods and taking your lifestyle into consideration.
