Gina DiFusco, RD, CDN

Gina is a Registered Dietitian currently residing in the greater New York City area. Her interest in nutrition was prompted by a simple pursuit: to discover what it feels like to live a long, healthy, energetic life. She pursued a degree in Exercise Physiology from Florida State University (go 'Noles!) and continued on in her studies of Human Nutrition at Lehman College in NYC. From there, she completed a rigorous internship and fellowship through NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, Columbia University Medical Center and Weill Cornell Medical Center, where she specialized in nutrition for the care oncology, critically ill, and gastrointestinal disease patients.

Her strong foundations in clinically based care inspired her to focus on extracting the root cause of various illnesses, leading to a shift in focus to more holistic based nutrition counseling in the outpatient setting. She now combines evidence-based practice with individualized nutrition care to help various populations meet their health goals. Gina takes a whole foods first approach and prioritizes sustainable change for long term success. The best part of the job? Gina says it's connecting with her clients on a level that allows her to recommend changes that work for them as individuals. A one-size-fits-all approach is far from her philosophy and supporting her clients through the ups and downs of progress is she describes as deeply rewarding.

When Gina's not catching up on the latest research or listening to podcasts, you can find her nestled at home with her family in front of a fire, hanging out by the lake, or hiking with her golden retriever. She loves to travel, connect with different people, and find new ways to bring nutrition to a broader range of populations that could benefit from feeling the effects of positive lifestyle changes.
