Aruna Peri, MS, RD, CDE

Registered Dietitian, Certified Diabetes Educator

Hi there! I am a Registered Dietitian and a Certified Diabetes Educator by profession with an educational background in nutrition & food process engineering. After completing my Master’s, I started my career working in the Food Industry, developing and improving the quality of a variety of food products. My passion has always been on the integrative and functional aspects of food & nutrition and the positive effect that it has on our overall well-being. With this passion, I embarked on my career in the healthcare sector.

I see the Food Dichotomy (good food vs. bad food) almost every day in my practice. While we must be mindful of this dichotomy, we must remind ourselves that food is beyond nutrition.  I am a big proponent of the holistic approach to food and strive to empower a healthier relationship with food.

Research has shown that the “cookie cutter approach” or “all or none approach” to foods does not help to enhance individuals’ wellness. I will work with you to provide personalized recommendations, and customized meal plans that will meet your nutritional needs, promote satiety and offer a wide variety.

Clinical focus: Vegetarianism, Prevention and Management: Diabetes, Obesity, PCOS, Gastrointestinal Disorders, Personalized Meal Plans, Nutrigenomics
