Karina Rico

My nutrition journey started in culinary school when I had my first nutrition class. I love food in general and nutrition made me love it even more by seeing it with different eyes. I learned that the food you're eating can impact you for the rest of your life. I finished culinary school and went on to pursue my Bachelors of Science in Nutrition. Then I worked at a hospital as a diet clerk while I worked on my dietetic internship. I graduated from University of Rhode Island with my Masters of Science in Dietetics in 2021 and have worked as a dietitian since then.

I am passionate about working with my clients to make sure they reach their nutrition goals. I have experience working with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and obesity in both children and adults. I am empathetic to all my patient I understand that life is hard sometimes but with a little push anything is possible. I like to hold my patients accountable to meet their goals, you can always tell me about your day, or week, or month and know that I'm not here to judge but here to help you meet your health goals!
