I am Marina Savelyeva, a passionate and dedicated Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) with expertise in helping individuals achieve their health and wellness goals. With over 17 years of experience in the field, I have developed a deep understanding of nutrition's impact on our overall well-being.

I believe in a holistic approach to nutrition, considering the food we consume and the individual's lifestyle, preferences, and unique needs. I aim to empower my clients to make informed choices and adopt sustainable dietary habits that promote long-term health.

I stay current with the latest research and nutritional trends, enabling me to provide evidence-based guidance tailored to each person's specific circumstances. Whether someone is seeking advice after surgery, managing a medical condition, or simply aiming for optimal health, I work closely with them to develop personalized plans and supplementation and offer ongoing support and education. 

Early on, I learned how important it is for patients to have excellent follow-up care, nutrition education, and support. 

For the last seven years, I have worked primarily with patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgeries: esophagectomy, gastrectomy, pancreatectomy, cholecystectomy, ostomy, and colectomy. I observed that patients needed clarification about nutrition information. Furthermore, patients often have nowhere to follow up with complicated medical problems and post-surgery. Later, patients are blamed for not following instructions, possibly resulting in complications, poor outcomes, and weight gain/loss.
Many individuals need proper nutrition education before and after surgery and guidelines on managing medical conditions. Upon leaving the health facility, patients received brief nutrition education handouts and teaching, sometimes none. Others received thousands of printed materials that could have been 

more useful. I've also noticed much information-sometimes conflicting- given by medical professionals or online. I am dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of proper nutrition for patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgeries and its positive impact on their overall health and quality of life.
Moreover, I love educating clients about heart-healthy lifestyles, wellness, and preventive nutrition.
In my private practice, I work one-on-one with clients, consult as a home health dietitian, and develop educational material for patients and dietitians. 

I actively engage in community outreach programs, conducting workshops and seminars to raise awareness about the importance of healthy eating. Through my efforts, I aim to inspire others to make positive changes in their lives and improve their overall well-being. I taught a variety of lectures to doctors, nurses, dietitians, physician assistants, and other health care professionals.
