Giordana Koutavas, RD

Hello, I'm Giordana (pronounced: Johr-daa-naa) or simply G. I have been working as a dietitian since 2016. I find joy in conducting personalized counseling sessions to enhance wellness, offer education, & motivate individuals to adopt a healthy lifestyle while reducing the risk of chronic diseases. My personal experience of being diagnosed with Celiac Disease & a food allergy during my college years sparked my passion for helping others. This led me to establish Allergies Shaped My Life Foundation. As a seasoned soccer coach, I enjoy educating athletes on health & nutrition to help players excel. As a prior university scholarship athlete, I understand the demands athletes are under.

​

During our first session, we will talk about your health & wellness journey. This involves inquiring about your medical background, medications, allergies, dieting history, etc. & conducting a 24-hour recall to understand your daily routine. My goal is to grasp where you have been, where you are now, & where you aspire to be. I want to get an understanding of your overall well-being & how I can be of assistance along your health & wellness journey. We will establish both short-term & long-term goals to monitor progress as we embark on this journey together.
