Gabriela Lopes
Born in New York City and the daughter of a Brazilian couple, I was raised in both New York and Brazil during part of my childhood and adolescence.
My love of science, passion for caring for others, and fascination with how the act of eating can represent the way a society thinks and expresses its relationship with the world motivated me to study Nutrition.
I earned my bachelor's degree in Nutrition from the Federal University of Goiás (Brazil) and completed a postgraduate program in Eating Disorders at the University of São Paulo (Brazil). I am a strong advocate for the joy of eating, mindful eating, and compassionate care.
By the way, I love to travel with my husband and our toddler, be in nature, spend time with friends and family, and eat food from different cultures.
What i do
I help patients of all age groups.
I support clients who struggle to trust their body's signals for eating, feel guilty about their food choices, or worry excessively about what they eat. Whether you've tried various diets and are tired of the yo-yo effect or simply want to improve your diet quality, I'm here to help. I also work with individuals facing clinical issues like prediabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.
I provide personalized, evidence-based care that promotes healthy and enjoyable eating while honoring your unique personal, cultural, social, and emotional needs.
