Marissa Porreca, RD

I have been a Registered and Licensed Dietitian for almost four years.  

​

I currently live in South Carolina, but have lived many places including Illinois, Alaska, Texas, and California. My hobbies include baking/cooking, golfing with my husband and hanging out with my dog, Axel. 

​

I have had multiple years of experience in all settings of dietetics. I have spent time in the Sports Nutrition realm, serving as a member of the Sports Nutrition Team at both The University of Illinois and Eastern Illinois University, working with the Football Programs in addition to other programs at the Universities. After my stint in the Sports Nutrition world, I made the move to the Clinical Care setting, where I have worked the last three years. I have helped individuals nutritionally manage various conditions such as Heart Disease, Diabetes, Renal Disease, Hypertension, and Disordered Eating.

Having personally experienced disordered eating in the past, my goal is to help others navigate their nutrition without severely restricting themselves and learning to have a better relationship with food. 

​

My passion is to educate, inform, and empower individuals to become the best versions of themselves through gentle nutrition and learning to create healthy habits while still enjoying food.
