Irina Derkach, RD

Life can get busy and it can be challenging to prioritize your overall health sometimes. I get it. I want you to think of me as your go-to gal for all things food-related. As we work together I want you to feel heard and educated so we can improve your health with simple yet sustainable goals.  

​

My passion for dietetics came from navigating through personal food sensitivities, GI stress, chronic migraines, and using food as medicine. I received my degree in dietetics from the University of Kentucky. My experiences, from working with families at the WIC clinic to long-term care facilities, provided me with a well-rounded approach to how nutrition impacts us at each stage of life. 

My love for food grew from watching cooking shows and learning to cook from a young age. However, I didn’t realize how much nutrition meant to me until I took Nutrition 101 and was hooked on learning how food impacts our health as a whole. Since then, I dove into all things nutrition and here we are today. 

​

In my free time, you will find me in the kitchen tweaking recipes found on Pinterest, out shopping for cool finds at second-hand shops, or somewhere outdoors with my husband and our dog. But when given any chance I get you will find me out traveling and exploring this beautiful earth. 

​

My goal is to help others heal and encourage positive relationships with food. I want this to be a safe space to discuss anything that influences your relationship with food. So let’s get together and talk about how I can be there for you!
