My goals are to empower you to make healthy lifestyle changes especially in the foods you select and the movement and exercise you get involved in each day to enable you to create optimal health.

Marianne Romano, MPA, RD, CDN

“My passion for life and fascination with health and food began at an early age. My family was in the wholesale food business and good food was plentiful, fresh and inexpensive. Living in a large multi-generational household I learned the importance of family and friends and found great purpose in helping others achieve lifestyle changes for optimal health and fitness.”
