I’m Dani Salvado, Functional Nutrition Counselor, I help active adults navigate their diet to promote performance and address digestive issues, autoimmune diseases, and chronic conditions.

Who am I and why I am here for you?

I came from a culture where food is a way to nurture and connect with ourselves and loved ones, just like how I witnessed my mother and grandmothers cooking dinner for everyone or simply brewing tea before bed, as a way to say sleep well. It is a warming form of care, and a big part of my life. Watching my family’s dynamic, then cooking for people over my years in the food industry, helped me realize how much food truly is an impactful factor in everyone’s life, whether they’re aware of it or not. As a nutrition counselor, I can help cause a positive impact, too. It’s fulfilling to nurture others, as much as myself, through food and care, and a pleasure to be part of people’s journey to wellness.

Food as medicine

Food is a crucial part of everyone’s journey, regardless of what each one of us is faced with. We want to be strong and take on the challenges that life presents us. To one, a challenge might be developing the endurance to run a marathon, but for others, perhaps it may be fighting an autoimmune disease and improving quality of life, or overcoming an eating disorder and feeling healthy again, or even dealing with depression, a stressful divorce and the death of a loved one. In every situation, the ultimate goal is to feel better, and I’m a believer that food can be part of the everyday work that must be done. 

Health goals

I believe the challenges we encounter along the way make us want to do better, but a lot of times life situations can make us feel stuck and stop us from evolving. We need to step back and ask ourselves what’s going on that is keeping us from moving forward, reaching our goals, and being our best. What can we do to support our body and mind during this process? What are our health goals and aspirations? 

As a functional nutrition counselor, my goal is to empower you to take charge of your health. I’m here to guide and support you in your journey, recommending nutrition and lifestyle strategies that serve you the best. 

I look forward to being part of your journey! Schedule a free call and let’s get to know each other.
