Alicia Lusardi, MS, RDN, CPT

Dietitian
MI
Alicia's interest in nutrition began during her study abroad in Spain in 2012, where she aimed to become fluent in Spanish. She was captivated by the diverse food combinations and found herself exploring grocery stores and food culture more than anything else. As a college student at Quinnipiac University, she had limited access to kitchen appliances, lived on a strict budget, and was often bored with the limited food options available on campus. She spent time thinking up ways to combine simple store-bought foods with what was offered in the café to create her own healthy and creative meals. Once she had access to a kitchen, it became her playground for experimenting. Above all, she loved cooking for friends and loved ones, substituting ingredients in various recipes to make them more nutrient-dense, satiating, and unique. She felt fulfilled when she could show people that food can be both delicious and healthy. Alicia earned her Master’s in Nutrition and Dietetics from Hunter College, which further deepened her expertise. Aside from cooking and baking, exercise is also a major interest. She initially incorporated it into her life to manage stress and build self-confidence. Over time, the benefits she experienced from trying different types of movement motivated her to become a certified personal trainer. Throughout her career, she has worked with a diverse range of patients of different ages, genders, ethnic backgrounds, and lifestyles, presenting with various conditions including (but not limited to) bariatric surgery, heart disease, pre/diabetes, eating disorders, emotional eating, gut issues, hypertension, high cholesterol, fatty liver, pre/post-natal care, pregnancy, PCOS, hypothyroidism, and more. Additionally, she has experience working at a gym as a personal trainer, teaching exercise classes, and developing meal and workout plans for clients.
