ABOUT | Emily Buchholtz Nutrition + Wellness

Hi, I'm Emily...

I always knew that I wanted to make a difference and that my career would be built on helping others. What I didn't know is that the difference would be made through nutrition. Like you, my path to finding health through nutrition has not been an easy one. I struggled with my weight and body image and tried quick fixes that promised lasting results.

I always had a passion for learning, so with each step in my own health journey I immersed myself in studying the role of nutrition in our everyday lives. From studying the science of human nutrition to motivational interviewing and behavior change, I worked to hone the skills that bridge the gap between knowledge and action. It became clear to me that if I was struggling, maybe others were too. I dedicate my career to helping each person I work with find their unique path to health and wellness.

If it was easy, everyone would be successful!

My approach is simple: provide the framework to empower you to make educated choices about your nutrition.

Sydney Navid, RD, CDN

Dietitian

Nutrition Counselor and Culinary Specialist

Nutrition and the act of eating have become overly complicated for so many of us. With the never-ending stream of the latest health and wellness trends and prevalence of nutrition information and misinformation on social media, I believe we’ve lost touch with what really matters - food being a source of nourishment and an opportunity to pause and connect with others.

Through my personal experiences with disordered eating and SIBO, I know what it is like to struggle with conditions that are often treated using a “band-aid” approach. My graduate and clinical work have also led me to embrace a functional approach to uncover the underlying “why” and root causes of distress. During our sessions, we’ll cover a range of topics such as nutrition, sleep, joyful movement, and mindfulness practices and most importantly identify simple, sustainable behaviors that will lead to life-long changes.

Whether you’re someone who is curious about plant-forward eating or has been diagnosed with a health condition and does not know where to start, we’ll work together to curate nutritionally-tailored meals and make plant-rich cooking an enjoyable part of your life. I look forward to meeting you where you’re at and helping you attain a fulfilled, healthful life.
