Tricia Barriero, RD

I’m a Registered Dietitian with advanced clinical training in gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, surgical recovery, and high-performance nutrition. With over 20 years of experience in hospital-based critical care and outpatient counseling, I specialize in helping clients navigate complex digestive conditions - from short bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease and IBS to metabolic dysfunction, athletic performance, and functional nutrition—with clarity, compassion, and evidence-based care.

My approach is rooted in collaboration. I believe that the best outcomes emerge when we ask the right questions, tailor strategies to the whole person, and create space to listen. Every patient deserves a plan that is not only medically sound but also practical, personalized, and responsive to the challenges of real life. Whether you're healing from surgery, managing chronic symptoms, or optimizing performance, I help you build sustainable strategies that support recovery, resilience, and long-term wellness.

On a personal note: I’m energized by morning runs, lifting weights and anything outdoors. I’m endlessly curious and love translating science into actionable, sustainable tools for daily living and fueling your body. Above all, I’m driven by the belief that that food is both a foundation and a lever—one that can help restore function, resilience, and confidence in your body.
