Hey! My name is Hannah and I am a Registered Dietitian (RD) and Licensed Dietitian (LDN) with a Masters in Food Science and Human Nutrition. 

​

I guess you could say I was born into the field; My mom is a Registered Dietitian too! Growing up, my brother and I always had a balanced diet. Did my mom pack me a peanut butter and Nutella sandwich every day for lunch? Yes. Were there also fruits and veggies in those lunches? Absolutely.  Balance is key, and that is why all foods fit. 

​

In high school, I went through a strange eating period-- My stomach was crampy, I was always bloated, and I had ZERO energy. After a food allergy test and numerous doctor visits, I was prescribed a no gluten, egg, dairy, and peanut diet--or as I called it, a no-fun diet.  

​

This was definitely not the easiest diet to follow (especially living in Tokyo where I couldn't read food labels easily), but I found myself in the kitchen experimenting with Pinterest almost every day after school. It was at this point when I fell in love with cooking and creating healthy, food-restriction friendly recipes and created a blog called Hannah's Gluten-Free Adventure to share my journey with people who were also in the same boat.

​

Although I was able to incorporate all foods back into my diet, the time I spent on a restrictive diet taught me an important lesson, you have to make food taste good. My journey to becoming a Registered Dietitian was powered by my own struggles with food. My goal is to help people develop better eating habits, learn how to make good food (because good food = good mood), and inspire those to live a healthy lifestyle.
