Karina Abadia, RD

Hi! I’m Karina — a Registered Dietitian with an M.S. in Nutrition and a passion for helping people build healthy, sustainable habits from the ground up. I completed my dietetic internship at the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs hospital, providing comprehensive medical nutrition therapy and leading food service training. Currently, I teach Science & Health to middle and high school students, weaving nutrition education into daily lessons and hosting monthly healthy snack demos to inspire young minds.

​

Beyond the classroom, I bring my love for movement to life through volleyball, rock climbing, swimming, and cycling. I believe wellness should be practical, enjoyable, and tailored to real life.

​

I work with individuals who want to lose weight, manage pre-diabetes, or simply feel stronger and more energized. My approach combines education and accountability: expect easy-to-follow handouts, recipes, habit trackers, and short nutrition modules covering essentials like carbs, fats, protein, balanced eating, meal planning tips, sleep, sports nutrition, supplements for mental wellness, probiotics, and endocrine support — and more as your journey evolves.

​

I expect clients to stay engaged: you’ll have “homework” like submitting your weekly meal plan, logging your daily steps, tracking workouts, and checking off habits that support your goals. Together, we’ll focus on building a strong foundation with fiber-rich meals, high-quality protein, and moderate carbs to fuel longevity and an active life.

​

I’m here to make healthy living simple, flexible, and sustainable — and to cheer you on every step of the way. Let’s keep you moving forward, one healthy habit at a time!
