About
hello! i’m serena
a Registered Dietitian who believes food is meant to nourish you, not overwhelm you.
I grew up on the ice as a competitive figure skater for Team USA, and while I loved the sport, I also absorbed rigid food rules that left me with disordered thoughts about my body and how I was nourishing it. In graduate school, I fell in love with nutrition science and finally heard what my body had been trying to say for years: undereating, stress, and perfectionism don’t add up to health (and they certainly don’t make life better).
Today, I’m a Registered Dietitian and the founder of Serena Pratt Nutrition. I care about what food does in your body and what it means in your everyday life. My work blends clear evidence with simple structure and meals you actually enjoy. I’m half-Italian, I love to cook, and I believe food should feel satisfying rather than stressful. If you’re tired of all-or-nothing thinking, plans you can’t sustain, and food rules that run your life, you’re in the right place.

I can’t wait to work with you!

My Nutrition Philosophy
I know you don’t need more food rules; you need nutrition that works for you. Here’s what guides my practice:

Science Meets Real Life
I use evidence-based nutrition to guide every recommendation, then translate it into steps you can actually follow. Think: “add this to lunch,” “swap that at breakfast,” “want to try this recipe tonight for dinner?”.
All Foods Can Fit
You don’t have to avoid your favorite foods to feel better. We’ll keep them in the mix and use them on purpose—timing, portions, and pairings—so you’re satisfied and still moving toward your goals.
Symptoms → Strategy
Your history, labs, symptoms, medications, and routine all matter. We’ll connect what’s happening, what’s driving it, and what’s worth changing so your plan targets the areas that make the biggest difference.
Nutrition by Addition
Instead of cutting everything, we start by adding what helps: protein for fullness, fiber for digestion, fats for hormones. When your plate works harder for you, nourishing your body well gets easier.
