“I had a wonderful experience with my dietician, Dr. Priya. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about her clients’ health and well-being. Instead of giving a one-size-fits-all plan, she took the time to understand my lifestyle, preferences, and goals before creating a personalized nutrition plan that was both realistic and sustainable.
What I appreciate most is her practical approach — no extreme dieting, just balanced guidance that fits into everyday life. She explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and continuously motivated me throughout the process.
Thanks to her support, I’ve seen noticeable improvements in my energy levels, eating habits, and overall health. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for professional, supportive, and effective nutritional guidance.”

“I thoroughly enjoy my visits with Priya. She is open and inviting, making it easy to collaborate on a plan to grow wellness. She provides a guidepost that you can build on and then helps you to stand up a doable and enjoyable plan for creating a healthy environment for living. Her suggestions are invaluable, giving options that may not have been previously considered and just talking through those options exposes new ways to look at your diet and all of the conditions that influence it. Understanding both how any why makes it so much easier to apply change and Priya will help you gain that understanding. I wish that I’d come to visit sooner. ”

About Dr. Priya Padmanabhan
Hi there, I am Priya, your Dietitian and Lifestyle Coach. I derive my professional purpose from helping my patients connect the dots between knowing and integrating lifestyle practices in the areas of eating better, moving better, sleeping better, and managing stress better so that you can experience improved health outcomes. I collaborate with you to individualize evidence-based lifestyle interventions that work for managing various chronic conditions.
After overcoming my own challenges with a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, I realized that willpower alone doesn't work. The key is to make "autopilot habits" so that you enjoy the process and can keep it up long term.
Before founding healthabitsrx, an insurance-based private practice, I worked with primary care, family medicine clinics, and hospitals. I have also coached clients at CrossFit Dagda and ThriveWell Cancer Foundation.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Food and Nutrition from The University of Alabama, a BS in Dietetics, and a PhD from the University of Texas at San Antonio. I am a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist and a Certified Health & Wellness Coach through Wellcoaches.
I have a teenager who keeps me hoppin’, a veggie garden that needs weeding, and a training shoe that I try to put on at least twice a week.
When you work with me, you are a UNIQUE whole individual—you are more than just plugging your information into a calculator. Making the transition from your current lifestyle to a much healthier one can be hard. I am there to work with you every step of the way to help you get past your obstacles and build a lifestyle that you can maintain and that helps you work toward your personal health goals. I will consider our relationship a success when you become a MASTER of your own health!
My clients are my favorite people in the world. I can’t wait to get to know you and help you reach your long-term health commitments.

Is the most insightful nutritionists you will ever meet. She blends her deep knowledge of food, chemistry, human behavior, motivation, and learning to move me from awareness, through intentionality to positive actions. These actions set the ground work for a healthier me!
Her approach is non-judgemental, personal, and charming.
That said, she also looks closely at my medical data, labs to customize my needs. Plus, she stays informed of the latest wellness, food, and medical research related to health and nutrition.
I hit the healthy jackpot when i found Priya and I've recommended her highly to family and friends!

Everything about Priya has been fabulous! She is incredibly knowledgeable in nutrition and health benefits. She is very attentive and truly listens to the concerns of others. She genuinely cares for the well being of her patients/clients. It is very apparent this is much more than just a "job" for her. This is her passion and she is great at what she does. I would recommend Priya to anyone and everyone looking for help and guidance in the nutritional realm.

Priya is terrific! Her approach is from a holistic perspective, getting an understanding of your rhythm and lifestyle to help you develop healthy changes. Small attainable goals. It’s not just about healthy food choices, it also about your mental and physical wellbeing and how to integrate them into your life. She listens, and uses her background in analyzing to work out a personalized plan just for you. This is the dietitian I have been looking for!

Always attentive, friendly and professional.

I have had four or five sessions with Priya and she always takes time to ask how I am doing in my nutrition journey and helps to guide me in the different areas that I struggle. I love that our first session covered my own goals and each session since then has been a check point against those goals and refocusing efforts on the areas that need more attention. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help in the areas of diet and nutrition!!!
