About Preventive Nutrition
We are constantly hearing about the latest superfood, fad diet, and the impact of what we eat on the planet. But what is the evidence supporting all of these claims?
As part of my practice, I share with clients our best current understanding of the impact of diet and other lifestyle behaviors on long term health and the environment. I have compiled this information over the years by thoroughly reviewing the scientific literature, continuously updating it as the latest research sheds new light on how various lifestyle factors affect our healthspan.
My collaborative work with clients allows them to find their own individual path to better health and wellbeing through lifestyle modifications and habit building.

LIFESPAN vs HEALTHSPAN
LIFESPAN is the total number of years we live whereas HEALTHSPAN is how many of those years we remain healthy and free from disease.
Maximizing your HEALTHSPAN
Diet, physical activity, sleep and other lifestyle factors are strongly associated increased chances of living a long healthy life. Starting early is ideal, but it’s never too late to see the benefits.
Testimonials
I wholeheartedly recommend her services. Unlike my past experiences working with dietitians, where I received a few tips and a meal plan and that was it, Adriana empowers you with knowledge and resources. She goes above and beyond to help you understand food on a deeper level, fostering the ability to make informed choices. Additionally, she's one of the few nutritionists I've encountered who actively addresses the environmental impact of our food choices, which is something I truly appreciate

Adriana was great. She helped me optimize my diet further and helped me relieve some GI symptoms I had struggled with for years. Would highly recommend!

I highly recommend Adriana! During our first appointment, she thoroughly and calmly walked through my medical history, labs and needs. She then moved on to offering some general nutrition guidance and very down-to-earth suggestions on how to improve some aspects of my diet. I really liked the fact that she gave me exactly what I needed: simple and straightforward suggestions that do not take a ton of time to prepare. I also did not feel rushed at all, which is rare these days. Looking forward to continuing to improve my general health under Adriana's guidance!

I worked with Adriana trying to improve my diet (and of my family) and to make healthier choices. In addition to educating me on what foods to eat, she worked with me to identify what were the barriers that were in the way of a healthier diet (mostly lack of planning). Together we came up with a plan to make sure I was successful in maintaining my goal of eating healthier. I loved that she not only thought of the diet itself but also about my life and how we could make sure that the plan we put in place was realistic and achievable.

Working with Adriana led to significant health improvements. Initially, my Hemoglobin A1C was in the prediabetes range at 6.2%, a level my PCP dismissed as normal for my age (I'm in my 70s). However, Adriana helped me identify actionable changes in my diet and exercise routine. Thanks to her guidance and encouragement, within a few months and without much effort, my A1C dropped to a healthy 5.7, well within the normal range. Additionally, these changes resulted in a 6% weight loss that I have been able to maintain for over half a year, further supporting healthy blood sugar control.

My sessions with Adriana were extremely helpful in resolving long-standing intestinal transit issues that led to two hospitalizations and a surgical intervention in the past, in addition to hemorrhoids and other problems related to constipation. Adriana helped me put together a diet rich in fibers that are well tolerated by my digestive system. This not only facilitated intestinal transit but also helped me maintain and even lose some weight. I am grateful for Adriana's help and would highly recommend her to others seeking to improve their bowel related problems.
