Background

Hi, I’m Gunja Parikh, a Registered Dietitian with over two years of private practice experience, helping clients achieve lasting health through personalized nutrition. Whether you’re managing weight, diabetes, or other metabolic conditions, I’m here to simplify your journey with tailored, evidence-based strategies.

What sets my approach apart is my commitment to honoring your cultural food traditions. I believe that food is more than fuel — it’s joy, connection, and heritage. You don’t have to give up the meals you love to achieve your goals. Together, we’ll create a flexible, sustainable plan that fits your lifestyle while supporting your well-being.

With a Master’s degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from Meredith College and experience across clinical, wellness, community, and long-term care settings, I’ve seen the transformative power of balanced nutrition. I provide compassionate, client-centered care, ensuring you feel empowered every step of the way.

Fluent in English, Gujarati and Hindi, I offer culturally inclusive support to diverse clients. Whether you’re taking the first step toward better health or seeking expert guidance to refine your habits, I’m here to help you succeed.

When I’m not working with clients, I love exploring hiking trails, trying new cuisines, and traveling with my husband. 

Let’s work together to create a personalized nutrition plan that makes you feel your best — no sacrifices, just sustainable results.
