Hi! I’m Melissa.

I’m Melissa Lipka, a holistic certified nutritionist, and I’ve been through it all, so I know what you’re going through. I have struggled with weight my entire life and have tried every diet out there. I am living proof that fad diets and quick fixes DO NOT work! I even battled anorexia in my early 20’s.

You can learn about my professional experience further down the page.

My Personal Journey

I was diagnosed with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) in my teens and Hashimoto’s in my 40s—talk about life handing you lemons. Instead of making lemonade, I decided to dive headfirst into nutrition. It was a game-changer. Once I understood how food truly works with the body, I learned to love it again - not fear it. Food went from enemy to healer, fueling my energy, boosting my health, and making me feel whole in this crazy fast-paced world. Now, I live by the 80/20 rule. Eighty percent of the time, I’m all in on healthy, clean eating. The other 20%? Bring on the treats!

Other things I love:

  • My family (my husband and 5 kids!)
  • Taking my dog, Albie, for walks and getting sunshine (no vitamin D deficiency here!)
  • Grounding 
  • Red light therapy 
  • Traveling – I love to travel, and YES, you can still be healthy and enjoy eating on your vacation!
  • Infrared saunas (get those toxins out!)
  • Drybrushing

Food isn't just fuel—it’s joy, connection, tradition, and love. Yes, you can be healthy and enjoy your food. And guess what? I’ll show you how to do it without guilt or restrictions.

Empowering Your Wellness

I believe 100% in my vision of providing top-notch nutrition care through an ongoing, holistic process. We’re not just talking about food here. It’s a full-body, mind, and soul journey to balance everything out.

With a master’s degree in clinical nutrition and a deep love for keeping up with the latest nutrition research (yes, I geek out over studies), I’m obsessed with helping others find the health and happiness I’ve discovered through nutrition and lifestyle changes. My passion is to guide you toward making sustainable, life-changing decisions.

And here’s the best part—I’ll teach you exactly what your body needs and WHY. Everyone’s unique, and that means your nutrition plan should be, too. Together, we’ll create a roadmap to help you thrive, using food and lifestyle tweaks that actually work. Let’s do this!

  • ✔ IBS
  • ✔ Hashimoto’s
  • ✔ Weight gain
  • ✔ Metabolic Syndrome
  • ✔ Insulin Resistance

I’ve had all of these, so I totally get it! You deserve to feel amazing, full of energy, and have balanced hormones that keep everything in check!
