Hey There!
I’m Kristina and I’m a Registered Dietitian, Diabetes Educator, foodie, military wife, and mom of two young kiddos. I’m originally from Massachusetts but now go where the Air Force sends us which currently is the Tampa Bay area. I became a dietitian because I love food. Not just “healthy” food, I mean ALL food. I can’t even think of a food I won’t eat. People often assume I have a “perfect” diet because I am a dietitian and I feel like I am letting them down when I tell them I don’t. But that’s the truth. My diet is far from perfect but I’ve found a balance and peace with food and I believe that is really what a healthy diet is about.
I have worked in nutrition counseling for 13+ years and have seen time and time again how much food can get people down. The amount of times I’ve been thanked just for my positivity and encouragement made me realize there is too much negativity when it comes to diet and lifestyle. Change is hard. Change with food and eating behaviors is even harder! There’s so much put out in the media about nutrition that it can feel like you are never doing the right thing. We all need some encouragement and I hope that I will be able to give you that and also help you unpack a little more about your relationship with food.
You’re doing great! Keep up the good work!
