Claire Benoist, RD

Claire got her Clinical Nutrition degree from the University of California, Davis and completed her internship in Colorado. She now lives in Salt Lake City with her boyfriend and Rat Terrier Mix, Scout.

Claire believes that nutrition should be simple, accessible and enjoyable. As a millennial woman who grew up in a family where women were always dieting, she is passionate about busting diet culture food myths to help people regain confidence in their nutrition decisions. Nutrition is so much more than choosing the “right” foods to prevent weight gain or manage a disease. It is part of a very personal experience, an important part of one’s culture and personal identity. As such, she believes there is no one size fits all approach to nutrition education, health promotion, or disease management.

Some fun facts!

She was born in France and lived in Canada and Switzerland before moving to Los Angeles with her family at 10 years old. She still speaks fluent French and try to visit often to see my extended family. She was heavily involved in the performing arts in high school and college (theatre and choir kids unite!). Playing in the handbell choir, performing in the California All-State Honor Choir and working on the musical Godspell were some of her favorites.

She is a Leo.

Her and her 2 younger brothers were all born in different countries.
