Marisa Moore, MBA. RDN. LD.

Hi, I’m Marisa! I’m a registered dietitian nutritionist, go-to food and culinary nutrition expert for the media and cookbook author of The Plant Love Kitchen publishing April 2023 with National Geographic.

I am an integrative dietitian which means our work together focuses on you as a whole person – not just a meal plan.

We’ll talk a lot about food, nutrition strategies, and habit building with a goal to improve your well-being and reduce your risk of chronic disease.

Being well is about so much more than being on a diet.

It’s not all or nothing. It’s about building healthy habits and finding that sweet spot that actually works for you!

I hold a Bachelor of Science in nutrition science and an MBA in marketing. I became a dietitian because I love food, science and teaching. My unique background and experience in clinical nutrition, wellness, and the food industry helps me connect the dots and relate well to a variety of audiences.

I love digging in to the current research and science. After starting out as an engineering major, I quickly realized that though I enjoyed chemistry and being unapologetically analytical, that path didn’t honor my true passion. So, I got a BS in Nutrition Science instead. And that degree has served me well.

Becoming a registered dietitian married my love for food, science, and education. 

My food and nutrition philosophy

I take a plant-forward approach and focus on what you can add to your plate versus take away. Food should be enjoyed without judgment.

My goal is to help make your journey towards lifelong health and wellness a little easier and to ultimately help you prevent chronic disease.

I use a food first strategy. Whether working with an audience of one or many, I cut through the nutrition noise with sound science and realistic strategies for the public and media alike. I deliver solutions based on current evidence-based food and nutrition information.

How I got started in food and cooking

I grew up in the rural south – surrounded by fresh produce. Often accompanied by biscuits, cornbread or a side of fatback, my plate was always full of vegetables.

That whole “local food” thing was not a trend for us; it was a way of life. I shucked corn, shelled peas, and “looked” greens every week of the summer on the porch with my Grandma. I ate things that you can’t begin to imagine, but I’m grateful for those experiences.

My promise to you

Eating well is not a one-shot, all or nothing thing. It’s a process, and I’m here to make the process a little easier. You can trust that I’ve done the research on anything that I say here, on-camera or social media.

Choosing a plant-forward diet

I’m not vegan or vegetarian, but I don’t really enjoy meat.

The majority of my meals are plant-based, but I believe that fish, chicken, lean meat, and even bacon are fine in small portions. I’m not into labels, so I don’t know what that makes me.

I eat what I want, but most of the time I want fish and really good bread.
