Alyssa was incredibly helpful on my journey with food. I reached out to her because I gained a lot of weight after my pregnancy and needed some guidance. She opened my eyes about nutrition in a way I never looked at before. I’m able to enjoy the food I love but understand what my body needs from me at the same time. I’m so thankful to have pushed myself to take this step towards my health by seeing a dietician and I cant imagine it being with anyone else but Alyssa. She is an expert in her field and on top of everything a wonderful person!

I’m so grateful to have found Alyssa. She is caring, kind, knowledgeable and compassionate. She is helping me look at food/eating in a new way, that fits my lifestyle. I highly recommend her.

I didn’t know what I was missing but I knew what I was doing was not working. I was struggling after a health crisis and needed help. Then a friend suggested Alyssa and in the last five months we’ve been working together I have changed my relationship with food, have found strength both physically and mentally and am realizing success with my goals. I feel great and my doctor’s are thrilled with my progress! Alyssa is so relatable and I trust her with my fragile ego when I go off the rails to gently remind me that there is no failure, only lessons and opportunities! You will do the work at your pace and get the best support you could imagine! Call her. Right now. If you want a partner and cheerleader in your health journey, trust Nutrition with Alyssa!

Working with Alyssa has been amazing! I have a very difficult time with food and she has helped educate me on how food works with the body to help the body work it’s best. I came into this knowing very little about nutrition, but knowing I wanted to take care of my body to the best of my ability. Alyssa has introduced me to new foods that I never would have thought of before, she is always there to answer any questions I have, and the best part, she doesn’t put certain foods, that I would consider bag for me, off limits. She helps me figure out how to balance the foods that are higher in calories with other foods (vegetables, etc) that are better for me. Working with Alyssa has been a complete game changer for me. I no longer dread going to the grocery store. I have so much more to learn, and I am excited to continue working with Alyssa.

Alyssa nailed this experience for me. I’m a busy mom working full time and going to school full time. I grew more and more worried about my eating habits and relationship with food given my family history for diabetes and hypertension. Alyssa has made appointments by video calls around my schedule, interacts with me daily through one of the easiest food log apps ever! And she is always a message away. I see her biweekly, but I feel like she is with me all day. The education around a healthy plate I have received so far has been eye opening. Being down 7lbs in 1 month is not so shabby either!
I love Alyssa, her easy personality, and her role in helping me have a better human body that will work for me for years to come!

Hello! I’m Alyssa Pittman, a 35-year-old Registered Dietitian based in Shrewsbury, MA. I still remember the day I passed the RD exam – it remains one of the best days of my life! All my hard work, dedication, and countless hours poured into studying and understanding the intricate world of nutrition had finally paid off. More than the personal achievement, I was ecstatic about channeling my passion for food and nutrition to aid others. Whether it’s assisting those grappling with weight issues, helping manage diseases through diet, or guiding those with disordered eating patterns, my commitment to making a positive difference has been my driving force.

My intrigue with nutrition took root during my junior year in high school. A vivid memory that stands out is when I eagerly educated my classmates about which granola bar was the healthiest option. 😊 Fast forward a bit, and as I delved deeper into my first nutrition class at Framingham State University, I was taken aback. I had stepped into a universe that was much broader and profound than just granola bars and apples. It dawned on me that nutrition was a profound science, influencing not just our physical wellbeing but also our mental health.

Beyond the professional realm, I treasure the time I spend with my beloved husband and our two spirited young boys in our Shrewsbury home. Our evenings often oscillate between cozy family movie nights and playful sports sessions in the backyard. It’s these moments of laughter and bonding that add true richness to my life.

Now, let me take you through my professional journey, where my passion for nutrition came to life in various impactful roles:

Harvard Street Neighborhood Health Center - Director of Nutrition

At Harvard Street, I faced the exhilarating challenge of creating a nutrition department from scratch. Collaborating with dedicated doctors and nurses, I provided specialized nutrition counseling for patients of all ages and backgrounds. In addition, I championed community nutrition, overseeing a food pantry to ensure both availability and education about nutritious food choices.

Blackstone Health Inc. - Nutrition Director

In this role, I was responsible for ensuring that seniors across 13 centers in Rhode Island had access to nutritious meals that met state and USDA guidelines. Beyond the menus, I organized weight loss groups, offered individual counseling, and took to the stage to educate seniors on topics close to their heart – quite literally – such as heart health, diabetes, and more.

College of the Holy Cross - Assistant Director of Nutrition

Here, I worked with the vibrant college community, offering nutrition counseling on various topics like sports nutrition, food allergies, and eating disorders. One of my proud achievements was leading the Food Allergy and Special Diet Program, ensuring that students with dietary needs felt safe and catered for. I also took on the academic hat, presenting to classes about the foundational and specialized aspects of nutrition.

Throughout these roles, one thing has remained constant: my passion for helping individuals foster a healthier relationship with food. By understanding, respecting, and working with our unique dietary needs and preferences, I believe we can all lead healthier, happier lives.
