Ellie Aghdassi, Ph.D., RD
As a Registered Dietitian and a lover of all things related to food, my passion for health and fitness has led me understand why food lies at the core of healing and sustaining the healthy life that each of us desire.
My philosophy is based on the concept of food as fuel: eating mindful portions of a well-balanced diet that provides the body with what it needs to function optimally.

By choosing healthy over skinny, you are choosing self-love over self-judgement.
After more than 25 years of experience in nutrition counseling, I discovered what works, what doesn’t, and what it means to live a truly healthy life. I built a foundation of nutrition tools and techniques that have transformed many lives- and which I know will transform yours, too.
