About Michael Paladino
My name is Michael Paladino, and I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. Growing up, I was always passionate about exercise, sports, and eating healthy. At 13 years old, I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, and my world forever changed for the better. This experience fueled my passion for helping others, so I pursued a Bachelor's degree in Dietetics and Nutrition at Montclair State University, where I also completed training in Dietetics and Clinical Nutrition Services. I use my education and personal experience to empower people to live long, healthy lives through balanced eating and regular exercise.

I have been seeing Michael since September and he has been amazing! I have list 25 lbs through his encouragement and accountability. He has given me realistic goals and challenges that I have met and exceeded which have resulted in weight loss. He has helped me make life changes when it comes to food as opposed to extreme diets which have never worked for me in the past. Thank you Michael!!

Mr. Paladino was amazing I’ve always had issues eating healthier, I use to have terrible eating habits which was affecting my health.
