Welcome to Emma the Dietitian!
Mindful Eating and my Nutrition Philosophy as a RD
I believe that understanding nutrition, improving your relationship with food and increasing interoceptive awareness can lead to reaching and feeling your best in your body!
My name is Emma, a registered dietitian based in Atlanta, Georgia. I studied nutrition in both my undergraduate and graduate degrees. I became a registered dietitian in 2019 after I passed by RD exam and completed my Masters of Science in nutrition in 2021. I decided to start Emma the Dietitian because I saw space missing in my industry. I felt it was either having an "intuitive eating" mindset, allowing all foods to fit and not having any thought regarding weight or body goals OR having a rigid relationship with food, nutrition and exercise. I believe we CAN have a healthy relationship with food while having goals regarding weight. More importantly- I wanted to emphasize (first and foremost) fostering a healthy relationship with food. I believe this is key to having a healthy lifestyle- for life!
My goal, through this blog and my social media pages, is to provide tips on mindful eating and having a healthy relationship with food or exercise, post delicious and nutritious recipes, educate on nutrition information and recommend products that I love that keep me living my best.

I have struggled with having a healthy relationship with food and what that means for my body too!
As you can see from the graphic above, I too have struggled with my relationship with food. On the left was me in high school, where I felt I was on a never ending hamster wheel of new diets that only left me feeling like crap. Not to mention, I feared food and felt out of control with food. On the right was when my relationship with food was healed. I was able to enjoy ANY food without guilt or feeling like I could not control myself. I also understood what movement meant for my body. Most importantly, my mindset had improved with food.
I Studied for Years- So You Don't Have To.
It should not take getting a master's degree in nutrition to feel at peace with food. For those who have been stuck in the diet cycle for years- it can feel like it will never end. However, it CAN end and is possible for you.
