Hi, I’m Mia!

I’m a Los Angeles-based Board Certified Nutritionist, classically-trained chef, mother of two, and the author of The Well Journal and Foodwise. I work privately with clients across the world to help them understand their nutrition needs, sort through all the wellness chatter, and find routines that truly work for their body and lifestyle. My journey to nutrition started with a deep love of food, dining, cooking, culture, and everything that comes with it.

About this Substack

I started this Substack so I could create more community around practical, science-backed nutrition. It’s impossible to keep up with all the nutrition information out there and sadly I find that it’s the most extreme voices that get the most attention.

I’ve been toying for years on how to create a platform for useful nutrition information at an affordable price. I wrote a book (actually two books!), thought about building a nutrition-focused spice company and a meal-planning app, but after careful reflection and some positive feedback about this little Substack, I now believe that this right here is it.

Nutrition shouldn’t be about fear, restriction, or sacrifice, it should make you feel good and that’s what this space is all about. The vibe I’m going for is: fresh, fun, and doable. Because so much nutrition information isn’t.

You will not find clickbaity nutrition fads here. Everything I do is based on science but presented with practicality in mind. You will learn how to apply nutrition science to your everyday life, become a more confident cook so you can whip up delicious and healthy meals in a snap, create a healthy, nontoxic home, and more. My genuine hope is that this information will help you find tools and routines to make healthy living easier, and to make you feel better. In short: happier.
