Philly Dietitian

Fantastic experience: Theresa Shank has been a godsend to me! I have been chasing medical problems for 18 years. It was finally determined that I have a gluten sensitivity. I was feeling much better, but not quite normal. I was to Theresa and she went on further to figure out my exact problems and unblock the key to all my medical and health problems. She further determined that I was histamine intolerant with the foods that I eat. She also was able to identify that I was iodine deficient, which is rather unheard of in America more of a Third World country problem. On my journey with her, I’ve lost over 58 pounds!!! I’m feeling much better and healthy. She continues to help me with my food sensitivities and issues. She is absolutely wonderful!! Her knowledgeable of foods and how the body interacts is so impressive. I highly recommend her!!!! I cannot thank her enough to have gotten to the bottom of my mystery medical problems!

Fantastic experience: Theresa was awesome to help me achieve my weight loss and overall health goals! Despite what I thought was a high level of fitness and diet knowledge, I gained a new mindset on my old school thinking of diet and weight loss. I have literally tried every diet with typically short term results that led to years of yo-yo weight losses and gains. Even better, her services were covered by my health Insurance. She gave me so many wonderful tips and resources in addition to her fantastic expertise on overall healthy living. I highly recommend her!

Fantastic experience: Phenomenal experience with Theresa. Resolved almost all of my symptoms withing a few days of implementing Theresa's plan. I referred a few of my close friends and all of them are very happy with their results as well. Theresa is a very good listener as well and tailored my plan around my very active lifestyle. Highly recommend Theresa to anyone who need nutritional counseling/services.

Fantastic experience: Theresa made my dreams come true. I lost 25 pounds and I am back to my pre-children weight. Do not hesitate.

Fantastic experience: My experience with Philly Dietitian was so positive! Theresa honed in to my needs quickly and gave me the help and tools I needed to be successful. I would recommend Philly Dietitian to anyone needing help to get started on their goals or to get headed in the right direction.

Fantastic experience: Theresa is a phenomenal dietitian and nutritionist who helped me tremendously in my journey to recovery from various gastrointestinal issues which were greatly impacting my quality of life! She is a life saver and expert who I have tremendous respect and admiration for! She was always there to assist and explained everything in detail and in understandable language. I highly recommend her and can't thank her enough for the awesome work she did!! I am now fully recovered and understand how to live a nutritional and healthy lifestyle!

Fantastic experience: Theresa is fantastic to work with. She is very honest and comes from a place of no judgement which is really helpful! I recommend her to friends and coworkers!!!

Fantastic experience: I have just started on my journey of working with Theresa Shank of Philly Dietitian. I have had one visit with her and I felt very comfortable with Theresa. She took her time with me explaining everything and answering all my questions. It is not just about losing weight she is trying to help me with other issues that would impede my weight loss. I would definitely recommend Philly Dietitian.

Fantastic experience: Theresa is great! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Theresa has helped me so much throughout the years. She has helped me connect with food as a way to nourish and heal my body. My relationship with food has changed dramatically because of her and for that I am thankful. If you are looking to achieve goals in a sustainable way, I highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: Theresa at Philly Dietician has been so much more than a dietician for me. When I was struggling with some extreme nutritional and physical challenges between 2021-2023, she was integral in helping me navigate what I was going through. Theresa helped me figure out what worked best with my body, achieving and maintaining a stable balance through proper nutrition. Many of these issues also caused a large amount of anxiety and impacted my mental health. Theresa had incredible counseling techniques as a clinician that truly are unparalleled. She was truly a mentor to me, and I still look up to her for guidance when needed throughout recent times as well. Thank you so much, Theresa, for all of your guidance & continued support! I would highly recommend Theresa to anyone looking to find nutritional peace and wellness in their lives!

Fantastic experience: Theresa has helped me greatly in achieving my weight-loss goals! I was able to lose 30 pounds because of Theresa and she has truly changed the way I view food. I always struggled to lose the weight I gained after being diagnosed with hypothyroidism so it was nice to know I was receiving help from a dietitian who also has hypothyroidism. Theresa is great and I highly recommend her services!

Fantastic experience: Theresa has been a wonderful help on my gut-healing journey. With her guidance, I am no longer on my acid reflux medication (a first after 15 years). Happily recommend her services.

Fantastic experience: Theresa has been integral to healing my relationship with food. She has inspired my health journey. I have been seeing her for years and I can honestly say she has been a big part of the positive change in my life and the growth of my desire to learn how to nourish myself. I have referred people to her and they say the same. You would be doing yourself a service by requesting an appointment. I cannot express how nervous I was when I first began to see a dietitian. I promise you, it’s not going to be what you expect. You should take that first step.

Fantastic experience: Theresa was great to work with. Personable, direct, and very knowledgeable. I was having specific gut health problems. She was very thorough and clear in understanding my diet habits and current problems, and was immediately able to recommend certain food group replacements (rather than reductions) within the first two weeks. Many of those recommendations helped ease the problems I was having. And in a quick turnaround of time. The healthie app was good for communication and documentation too. I recommend!

Fantastic experience: Her guidance and advice helped me lose weight and stay healthy. She understood my issues and worked with me to achieve my goals. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Theresa has been wonderful to work with. She provides practical advice that is easy to follow and gives countless tips to help you achieve your goals. I originally went to Theresa for GI issues & she helped me remove items from my diet that were causing the issues. I’ve come back to her for some health and weight loss advice and she has been a huge help in setting up my macros and giving me a meal-plan. I would highly recommend Theresa!!

Fantastic experience: Theresa is one of the most intelligent and resourceful professionals I've worked with in the healthcare space, and she has been incredibly valuable to my healing, learning and understanding of my body. She is impressively detail-oriented, organized and sharp, and puts 110% effort into supporting her clients. Beyond just food shopping, meal preparation, lifestyle habits and cooking guidance, Theresa's expertise as a dietitian has helped me to navigate other complex conditions involving hormonal imbalances, the female reproductive system and fertility, the gut microbiome, autoimmune and thyroid issues, allergies, mental health/stress, nervous system dysregulation, functional testing, GI Map guidance and how each body system integratively works together. I initially sought Theresa's help to address chronic stomach and digestive issues through proper nutrition, but she has also guided me in managing symptom-related conditions through tailored habits, routines, food plans, recipes, supplement recommendations and other natural remedies. Her empathy and promptness in answering all of my questions have brought me immense comfort and trust, and I am deeply grateful for her support. As a result of working with Theresa, my physical and mental health have significantly improved, and my general and food-related anxiety has decreased. I have seen numerous general practitioners, gastroenterologists, endocrinologists, and gynecologists, but none were as knowledgeable or effective in understanding and addressing my needs as Theresa. I wholeheartedly recommend working with Theresa to anyone, especially to women in their 20s and 30s who are frustrated and struggling with chronic, unexplained, or undiagnosed digestive and health issues.

Fantastic experience: Theresa has been incredibly helpful. She helped me reach my goal weight for my wedding and taught me how to eat without counting calories/macros. Theresa always listens to me and make sure all her suggestions are something that I can actually implement in my life! I highly recommend working with Theresa.

Fantastic experience: Theresa is absolutely phenomenal. She has catered her approach to my needs throughout various stages of my life and health journey.

Fantastic experience: Theresa was great at helping me achieve my goals after having my babies! In just a couple of sessions she was able to guide me to better choices all while still eat all the things I love. I would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Theresa was amazing and helped me avoid getting gestational diabetes! We did zoom meetings which was very convenient and she made eating healthy in pregnancy very easy. Will always be thankful for her and plan to use her services in the future for help getting back to my pre pregnancy weight.

Fantastic experience: Theresa is a great nutritionist! She helped me identify patterns of eating that I was not aware of. She then broke down the steps to improving my habits into manageable chunks. She was not judgemental of the pace of my progress but was always able to meet me where I was and show me what the next steps were. I highly recommend working with her.

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working with Theresa, and I am so grateful for the guidance I received! She took the time to teach me about the importance of balancing starchy carbs, non-starchy carbs, healthy fats, and proteins in my diet. Thanks to her expertise, I now feel more confident in making healthier food choices (with food experiences of course (: ). Theresa is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and professional. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their nutrition and overall health!

Fantastic experience: Theresa helped heal my relationship with food - forever grateful for her support, education, and care during a difficult time in my life.

Fantastic experience: I've seen Theresa 3x, and in 3 months I've lost 9 pounds! I feel better, and I am physically and mentally lighter. If you're looking for help to upgrade your lifestyle and eating habits, then you definitely want to see Theresa! She tailored my regimen to what fits best for me, which I appreciate because so many recommendations out there presents as one size fits all. Theresa approached this as a whole person approach and focused on educating me as she made her recommendations. I've recommended her to my other friends and they love her as well. If I could share a picture with my review, I would! I'm so happy with my results, and plan on continuing to see Theresa as needed.

Fantastic experience: Philly Dietitian is excellent, I highly recommend! Theresa worked with me in a straightforward yet kind manner to address some disordered eating habits and help me prepare for races and competitions. She has a lot of experience, which is helpful. She was able to give me handouts when I needed them so that I could refer to what we talked about and keep on track more easily. The process of signing up, doing a 'what do you eat in a day' food logging activity, and contact between sessions was all very easy. We did video chat sessions so it was very convenient to meet. Theresa does her best to make sure her clients have what they need to succeed, and that includes being accessible to them between/after meetings, which is really incredible! While I think Theresa is a great fit for many people on many different journeys, I would especially recommend Theresa to athletes (including high endurance/marathoners), women, people who struggle with perfectionistic tendencies, and those with a history of complicated food relationships.

Fantastic experience: Theresa was an incredible help during one of the most difficult times of my life. Last year, I was very ill and could not eat without serious intestinal pain and random fevers. At one point my most recent gastro thought I had Crohn's disease and put me on steroids which did nothing. He wanted to put me on biologic therapy medication, but I wanted to find another way. I had seen about 15 specialists before I got in touch with Theresa. Theresa helped me discover that my illness had a lot to do with my damaged gut and lack of proper nutrition. Because my inflammation was so severe, I ended up going on a liquid only diet for about a week and Theresa guided me with food reintroduction and figuring out which foods I was still reacting to. She helped me find safe recipes and responded quickly when I was in a crisis. She also encouraged me that I would be able to eventually eat my favorite foods again, but I just had to take the time to recover. I'm happy to say that I'm now able to eat my favorite foods again, while also maintaining a balanced, nutritious diet filled with probiotics and gut health support. Whatever was causing the inflammation is now in full remission. Thank you, Theresa!

Fantastic experience: I came to Theresa because I just didnt feel the same as I used to feel. I had less energy and I was more tired. I knew that the way I ate had alot to do with that. She explained why the way I ate made me feel this way and gave me some practical advice to implement. Since then, my energy levels are much more consistent, I feel better, my BP went down, and I lost some weight. More importantly, I understand why certain foods and habits have certain effects. In 2 hours, I learned more about eating correctly than a lifetime of doctors visits and youtube videos has taught me and its easier than I thought it would be.

Fantastic experience: Theresa is an amazing Dietitian! She is extremely knowledgeable and thorough and takes the time to really provide you will support and guidance. I was seeing improvements after just the first session!

Fantastic experience: I came to Theresa really frustrated after years of trying and failing to deal with GI issues, and to get in better shape. She helped with both, starting immediately. She got me feeling better than I knew was possible, and has been with me “along the way” as I’ve made progress and faced setbacks. She helped me experiment with low FODMAP, gentle low FODMAP, and low fermentation/SIBO diets. She provided meal plans and specific foods and brands to buy. She reviewed what I ate—all I had to do was send her photos of everything. And she recommended high quality supplements to help me improve my overall health. At the same time, following her advice, I lost 30 lbs, over 15% of my body weight. No exaggeration. I was originally nervous to see her because I feared my issues weren’t bad enough to warrant seeing a dietician (they really were…). She made me feel comfortable right away. And, I now realize how wrong I was. I only wish I had started the process with her sooner.

Fantastic experience: Theresa is an amazing professional, helpful and kind. She helped me to find joy and balance eating and help me to change the way I use to deal with my meals. She listened carefully my needs and support me finding the balance to have a healthier and happier life. Thanks for your support!

Fantastic experience: I have been dealing with Diabetes for quite sometime but recently it was going really out of sorts. The endo and other dietician did not help with my issue but within 2 weeks with Theresa's guidance my sugar have stabilize. My energy is back and learned more about the balance of nutrition. I can't thank her enough for the guidance.

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a supportive, knowledgable and realistic source to help improve your relationship with food and set you on the right track (whether that's to repair your relationship with food, lose weight, understand the "whys" behind your behavior surrounding food, etc.), Theresa is the Dietician for you! She supplied me with all the tools I needed to make better choices for my health, physically and mentally, concerning nutrition and gave me the nudge I needed to keep myself accountable. My goal was to take better care of my body and help increase my energy levels throughout the day, and Theresa helped me do just that! You won't regret having her on your side.

Fantastic experience: Theresa is amazing. She is welcoming, kind, smart, and motivating. I struggled for so long with stomach issues and had given up all hope. After my first session with Theresa I could see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am SO grateful to have found her. She truly changed my life and I now feel as though I have the knowledge and confidence to continue living a healthier life where I can be my best self. I highly recommend working with her. Thanks Theresa!

Fantastic experience: Theresa is absolutely amazing - but that should come as no surprise after reading any of the other reviews or having an introductory conversation with her. As someone with long-term GI issues and a history of disordered eating, nutritional counseling can be frightening. Theresa's approach, expertise, and general attitude removed my fears quickly. It is clear to see her genuine care and passion for her clients, which is not easy to find. After only a few sessions she was able to provide much needed guidance and insight, and help me change my mindset to consider what is helpful so I can feel my best. It isn't easy to break a mental dialogue that has existed for years but Theresa's knowledge & care (and lack of judgement) makes all the difference. I couldn't recommend her more!

Fantastic experience: I'm not going to say anything new or groundbreaking here, but Theresa is incredible. I made an appointment after getting some distressing cholesterol results from my GP. She's been extremely patient and understanding in helping me with exactly what I want without extraneous stuff I wasn't interested in. She helped rewrite grocery lists and eat out more mindfully with specific recommendations and goals. It will be months before I get new blood work, but I already feel so much better physically - I didn't even realize I wasn't feeling great before. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Theresa is an amazing dietitian. She has helped me address issues I was experiencing due to an autoimmune disease I suffer from. Thanks to her guidance, my symptoms are improving and I am on track for a healthier future.

Fantastic experience: Theresa is absolutely incredible. I first found her when I lived in Philly a few years back and needed help having a healthier relationship with food. Her boundaries and all of the information she provides I still have to this day. When I was getting ready for my wedding and wanted to prepare in a healthy, non-aggressive way, she was there through every step. Her sessions are truly wholistic and in-depth. When I find myself falling off the wagon a bit, I immediately go back to her guides and am able to get right back into it. Theresa is knowledgeable, real, and very insightful - I highly recommend her!

Fantastic experience: I can’t even begin to describe how glad and thankful I am that I found Theresa. Because of the help she has given me, I have never felt better. I did not know I had underlying health conditions that were really effecting me day to day. She is so kind and knowledgeable and provides tactical and implementable steps to make healthy choices. I literally would recommend her to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I have been struggling with G.I. issues for years, and was exhausted trying to figure out what foods were causing me discomfort. Theresa was very thorough, and talked me through the low fodmap diet. I was worried about the changes, but stuck with it. I am now feeling 20x better than I have in years, and am so thankful for Theresa's extensive knowledge and advise. She was a great communicator and I would recommend her to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Theresa is amazing!! She is so knowledgeable, personable, understanding/empathetic, and extremely available no matter how busy she is. She helped me not only with improving my understanding of nutrition and the best way to nourish myself, but also increased my confidence with my body and my food choices in just 2-3 short visits. After having a long history of symptomatic GI problems, Theresa quite literally changed my life and made me finally feel like I am gaining more control over my symptoms! I highly recommend her!!

Fantastic experience: I saw Theresa for about 8 months and she completely changed my life. I struggle with gut health issues and within a month of working with Theresa, I was feeling alot better. Theresa is patient and motivating. 10/10 recommend for anyone struggling with gut health related issues and looking for a lifestyle change.

Fantastic experience: I am so happy I came across Theresa! I reached out to her because I was struggling with hypothyroidism and weight loss. I was feeling hopeless and defeated after trying so many different ways to lose weight. After starting to work with Theresa, I learned how to understand the food I eat and how my body works with this food. She taught me how to make small changes so I wouldn't feel overwhelmed. I also learned how to reframe my thinking around food and open my eyes to the issues around restrictive eating. I learned which foods encourage a healthier lifestyle and living. I highly recommend working with her if you truly want to change your life!!!

Fantastic experience: Theresa is thorough in her approach and offers realistic suggestions. She’ll hold you accountable while being your biggest advocate. Would highly recommend her services to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I reached out to Theresa with an interest in better fueling my performance. I never ate extremely unhealthy, but I definitely ate to extremes (think Kale salads one day and crushing whole pizzas by myself the next). While most diet/meal plan strategies i researched seemed to focus around sacrificing things you like, Theresa took a look at my existing eating trends and helped guide me to making better decisions around it, ultimately developing something that's sustainable long-term. She works to educate you about the impacts on types of things you put in your body. More importantly though, her work allows you to be very flexible. With her plan, I never felt like I was really sacrificing much, but more importantly - it worked to help me improve muscle endurance and strength, energy levels, and ultimately shifted my mindset when I approach every meal. I still manage to sneak the not so healthy foods into my diet a few times a week, but I make sure to time it appropriately, control my portions, and make sure it's always accompanied by something that's more positive for my body. Changing your eating habits is hard (and sometimes painful) work, but with a partner like Theresa, if you put in the work, I can pretty much guarantee you'll get the results you want.

Fantastic experience: Theresa is GREAT! I started with her almost two months ago. She is very realistic and makes sure that you understand that this is not just “eat clean”, is about how you feel with the food and your body, and making you understand it benefits long termthe best part? I am still able to eat food that I love, specially from my country (Venezuela) which is important for me, just matter of being mindful! I didn’t hear any recommendations from her, but I saw her on the list of nutritionists in my insurance, and I just followed my intuition...and I got it right! If you need some help, reach out to her! And remember: what you eat and your workout routines are one of the things that you can control!!

Fantastic experience: WOW! This is truly all that comes to mind when I think of my experience with Theresa. She is FANTASTIC! I have suffered with multiple GI issues for as long as I can remember. Theresa helped create structure and a plan to get me feeling my best.. and it worked! Literally within two weeks I felt like a new person. The plans that Theresa creates are easy to understand so it makes the transitions feel seamless. Since I have made the changes I have more energy, never feel heavy/weighed down, much more clarity (no brain fog) and am genuinely just happy and feel good all around. I wish I would have reached out earlier, but better late then never! All I can say is THANK YOU SO MUCH THERESA! If you're still reading... What are you waiting for? Give this woman a call! You won't regret it :)

Fantastic experience: Theresa is fantastic! She listened to my issues and had a program immediately. Within 2 weeks I was feeling much better. She is available and incredibly knowledgeable. I’ve lived with digestive issues my entire life and now I finally understand why and am able to do something about it. Thank you Theresa!!

Fantastic experience: It has been wonderful working with Theresa. She makes herself available through multiple means of communication and offers her time to provide guidance in-between sessions. She works client-centered by adjusting her techniques to fit your needs and goals. She is professional and your greatest cheerleader.

Fantastic experience: Theresa was great. She helped me to understand and maintain healthy eating habits. She gave me different options for eating better, which are realistic and easy to follow. I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks again!!

Fantastic experience: Theresa is kinda, motivating and encouraging! Her guiding words are now a part of my meal routine and I am feeling happier and healthier-- highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I found Theresa through google and after reading all the good reviews I decided to give her a chance. Theresa accepted to have me and my husband at the same table. She listened to our food problems and future goals and gave us boundaries to change our food routine. Being both foodie people, we never felt we had to compromise much, we are still able to go to restaurants and enjoy every meal, we added some more ingredients and limited others, we still cook with friends and enjoy overall every meal. In 3 month I lost 16 lb while my husband lost 20 lb. We feel much more active and healthy, and I can't thank Theresa enough!

Fantastic experience: I recently experienced severe abdominal pain, nausea, and other GI issues. After countless tests and procedures, my doctor suspected it was related to my diet, and suggested that I try an elimination diet. I have always eaten in a “healthful” way, so didn’t understand how this could be true. Completely overwhelmed, I turned to Theresa for guidance. Theresa worked with me to customize a plan that worked well for me and my lifestyle. After 3 weeks of the “elimination” phase, she guided me while I reintroduced certain foods, ensuring my symptoms continued to improve. She recommended pre- and probiotics and supplements that assisted with gut healing and repair. What I appreciated most about her, is she helped me overcome my fear of eating, which I I really struggled with given the associated symptoms. She is extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and compassionate and I cannot recommend her enough. If you are experiencing GI issues, the internet can be completely overwhelming and misleading. Save your time, and work with Theresa instead!

Fantastic experience: Extremely knowledgeable and professional, Theresa delivered a personalized nutrition plan that helped me get back in shape after my third pregnancy without starving myself and while increasing my energy levels. She was thorough in her consultation and listened to my concerns. I also loved how she provided plenty of information post consultation that I could use for reference.

Fantastic experience: I began seeing Theresa to finally get help with the lifelong, complicated, and disordered relationship I had with food. Going into my first appointment, my shoulders were clenched up to my ears with anxiety and fear. I had no idea what to expect after a previous first appointment a few weeks before, with a different nutritionist who was less than helpful. I had actually emailed Theresa to explain that experience ahead of time, and she put me at ease. She assured me that she practiced nutrition differently, and that we'd be a great match for each other. Theresa was so upbeat and positive when we met, it immediately washed away the intimidation I was feeling. She only knew me for five minutes, but I could truly feel that she believed in me and my ability to heal, and that she knew she was going to be able to help me. Even though I couldn't yet believe in myself, I knew she was on my team and was rooting for me. She had such a different and calming approach to intake. It didn't make me feel like just a body that consumed food in a way that needed fixing. Rather than read me cold, impersonal questions off a checklist that made me feel guilty and self-conscious about my food rituals and behaviors, Theresa actually talked to me. She got to know me on a personal level and approached me as an entire person. She wanted to know the reasons why I struggled with food, and address those core fears- rather than just fix the surface behaviors and give me a meal plan. She taught me new ways of thinking about food and helped me learn a new vocabulary around food rather than "good," "bad," "healthy," "unhealthy." She gave me true, long-term advice that I was able to integrate seamlessly into my life and carry with me day-to-day. I feel so lucky to have been able to work with Theresa, and so appreciative of the work she put in with me. She helped me in so many ways, and showed me the skills and tools I needed in my healing process. I cannot recommend or thank her enough.

Fantastic experience: Theresa is a genius! Helped me get past a plateau I'd been stuck at for a year, and I'm still losing several months later! Most effective nutrition plan I've tried for losing weight consistently and steadily. And, Theresa is there to support you the whole way - great at responding to texts and emails with a little motivation when you need it!

Fantastic experience: I am an endurance athlete with a history of medical and GI issues. While training for my last marathon I was having a lot of trouble finding the right nutrition plan to fuel my training and and not have digestive issues. Through food sensitivity testing, working through an elimination diet, and experimenting with different nutritional strategies and approaches we were able to nail down the right plan for my training and my lifestyle. I ran my last marathon with absolute success and highly credit Theresa for nailing down the right nutrition plan for me. She was highly professional, yet approachable, and was always available via email or phone. I would highly recommend her to anyone, and specifically to any athlete who is struggling to find the right nutrition plan for their individual sport and needs.

Fantastic experience: I have been through four dietitians within the last year prior to going to Philly Dietitian. Many of my previous experiences with them were primarily that they would just give me foods that I should eat in order to lose weight but never really talked about my understanding and relationship with food. I was referred to Philly Dietitian by my colleague and my experience has been nothing short of AMAZING. Philly Dietitian's has a pleasant demeanor, is engaging and is extremely responsive outside of your session if you have questions, and this intensified my positive experience. I can tell you that your sessions will be extremely productive and filled with conversations about how to make adjustments to your eating in stages. She is extremely knowledgeable about food, and was able to help me navigate my fitness schedule and food so that I'm not left feeling depleted. I was tired of being on a diet and Philly Dietitian counseled me on how to truly have food balance and still enjoy food. I quickly adapted to her approach and vision because it didn't feel like a diet and I could still have my treats but through planning and in moderation. Within the first few weeks I lost 10 pounds by making some of her adjustments. If you truly want to change your relationship with food and make a lifestyle change, Philly Dietitian is the place to go. I no longer feel hunger and have lots of energy. Please check her out of you truly want to make a change in your life. Health is Wealth.

Fantastic experience: From start to finish, Theresa is thorough and realistic about her approach to nutrition and left me with a feeling of excitement toward my health goals. I have had a nightmare of a time with nutrition in the last year after a serious medical condition and Theresa was able to navigate this issue and provide me with a plan that actually made my circumstance much better. I cannot recommend her enough - she is amazing!

Fantastic experience: Theresa was recommended to me by a good friend who i train Muay Thai with. I came to her a month before my first fight needing to lose 10lbs while also fueling my body for very intense workouts. She helped me create a plan that accomplished my goals and also gave me the tools to eat properly as an athlete in the future. I didn’t have to count calories or macros, and I was able to eat so many of the foods I already love. I feel like a very educated consumer now.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Theresa highly enough. She is great at helping you set manageable goals and strategies to meet them. She will tailor-make a plan that suits your preferences, personality and life-style and explain the physiology behind each step. With her help and encouragement, I felt better in a few weeks than I have in decades.

Fantastic experience: Theresa is a very straight forward, no-nonsense and will call you on your BS when it comes to your nutrition. She's also very understanding and wants to make sure you can have pizza every now and then and not destroy any progress you've made. She's helping me in my transition out of the Keto diet into a meal plan that works for me and my body. Since being on her meal plan, I have never felt better. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: In less than one month Theresa has helped me significantly reduce my IBS symptoms, which I had trouble managing for the past year. She has helped me identify the variables that could have been triggering my symptoms and is now helping me develop a sustainable plan to further identify the specific foods that are irritating me. I am vegan and Theresa has been a great resource in identifying plant-based foods that don’t irritate my stomach and ensuring that I don’t feel restricted by what I can’t vs. can eat. I’m looking forward to making more progress with her as I continue to develop a healthy and balanced lifestyle. I recommend Theresa to anyone struggling to manage their IBS symptoms.

Fantastic experience: I HIGHLY recommend using Theresa's services as she is LIFE changing! I've lost almost 15 lbs over the last few months while still being able to drink wine, eat pizza and ice cream. I love that Theresa is all about balancing your diet and if you fall off the wagon and have an extra cheat carb celebrating your birthday- no worries, you just get back into the grind. While adjusting my new eating habits, I've had a couple questions and Theresa is always very quick to reply to my emails and texts. Theresa's approach is realistic to weight loss and it's helped me tremendously. You won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: Your guidance and information has been so helpful to me. I weighed in at 134.4 today down from a high of 146 or 147 in early November. I had two beers and piece of cake on Saturday to celebrate my achievement and didn't gain any weight :) I feel like the way I'm eating now is really sustainable and intelligent and I don't feel really restricted. Thank you so much for your help in this process. I hope you have or will be hearing from some of my clients!

Fantastic experience: Theresa is incredible. Her knowledge, no-nonsense tact, and fun, memorable guidelines (i.e. 1 of 4, never more!) made relearning my body's relationship with food an easier task than I ever thought imaginable...and I've been struggling with it since childhood. One of my main concerns as a vegan is making sure I'm eating everything I need to be eating, while also reaching my physical goals (cutting fat and building muscle). Theresa knew exactly how to help me craft an eating lifestyle (not diet!) that works for me for both of my goals, actually gets results (I started successfully "cutting" within week one), and doesn't make me hate myself (one to two cheat meals a week, baybeee). If you've been struggling at all with weight loss or anything food related, give her a try. Besides her great personality, the best part is -- she's always a text away. A million stars!

Fantastic experience: I have always struggled with managing my weight and the only way I would be able to lose weight is if I very carefully tracked my calories. I was never able to keep the weight off. My sister lost over 50 pounds working with Theresa and recommended I give her a try. Since September, I haven't counted one calorie or tracked my meals, and I have lost 10 pounds in 4 months! It may seem slow, but I just got back from a 10-day trip to Italy and weighed 0.2 pounds less than when I left. This tells me Theresa has really helped me to redefine the way I think about fueling my body. I still have more work to do, and I am very happy to continue working with Theresa to become healthier, reach, and maintain my weight loss goals.

Fantastic experience: I met with Theresa in November 2018 to discuss post-Partum weight loss. After the discussion we had, and the guidelines she gave me, I lost 7 pounds in three weeks! The best part about her is that she is realistic and knows that restricting your diet completely isn’t real life. If you’re looking to make some positive, permanent changes in your life then I would definitely recommend meeting with Theresa!

Fantastic experience: Teresa helped me refine my diet and approach to nutrition after I greatly increased my cycling activity this summer. She was a great resource and offered specific instructions on how to fuel my body correctly before, during, and after bike rides. She also took into account my food allergy when offering suggestions.

Fantastic experience: I started working with Theresa a few months ago after I had spent years being sent from doctor to doctor trying to figure out the root of my stomach aches. After thousands of dollars and a false diagnosis, I finally decided to see a dietitian which was where I should have started all along! Theresa has been so supportive in the process of figuring out what foods my stomach is intolerant of. She is incredibly knowledgeable, answers texts and e-mails quickly, and is sensitive to the fact that our gut affects every area of our life and this process can be overwhelming. Theresa also was able to see that years of being let down by doctors had led me to develop an unhealthy mentality around food and offered resources to get my relationship to eating back on track. If anyone is suffering from tummy troubles, start with Theresa before making your way down the list of GI specialists and tests. You won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: Theresa is seriously the best! If you’re looking for an RD who will not only give and guide you through a sustainable plan but also teach you the reasoning behind the method then she’s your girl! I love how she educates you on the science behind nutrition without it seeming like a lecture and that way you understand why you’re given a plan rather than just following one blindly. She’s helped me reach my goals in a stress free way with encouragement and compassion that you rarely find in people nowadays. She’s there for you and always accessible throughout whatever journery you’re seeking, always an email or text away. I highly recommend her, the best RD you’ll find!

Fantastic experience: I have been on the diet trail for a while. Loosing weight but not able to maintain the weight loss. After meeting Theresa in January, we developed a plan that worked for me. I am able to identify the foods that work with my weight loss program. I am Jamaican and she allowed me to cook with the spices that gives the food the flavor I enjoy. My relationship with food has changed and I have lost 19 pounds and counting......

Fantastic experience: I went to Theresa for help with switching my diet to one that's more cholesterol friendly. I wanted to switch to a pescatarian diet and limit my dairy significantly. I found I needed a more strict routine to get me started rather than just boundaries, and she quickly had a plan in place for me. I went to see my cardiologist and after only a few months my cholesterol dropped by 30%! Thank you Theresa for all of your help! I still want to roam the aisles of Whole Foods with you to talk food.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Theresa for a few months. She gave me a great framework that, in combination with my new resolve to stick with it, has made a real difference and resulted in a significant weight loss. The boundaries she helped me set have been sustainable and I rarely feel hungry! I feel confident this new approach to eating will help me continue to lose weight and maintain it in a healthy way. Theresa is readily available via email, text, or phone for support.

Fantastic experience: Theresa has been highly instrumental in my path to recovery from an eating disorder. She has been extremely supportive and encouraging of my recovery, and not only does she provide me with nutritional education, she also reviews mindfulness practices with me. She is also very empathetic and inspires me to have the confidence in myself that I'm sometimes lacking. I have been suffering in silence for so many years, but Theresa has truly changed my life and I haven't felt better! Whatever type of nutritional services you need, I would highly recommend you seek guidance from Theresa.

Fantastic experience: Over the past seven months, Theresa has guided me towards a healthy and balanced relationship with food and fitness. I only wish I had worked with her earlier in my life. She is an incredible listener and works with you as an individual, not as a person who fits a "cookie cutter" nutrition plan. I have worked with many professionals and no one truly listened to me - Theresa hears your concerns, understands your challenges, appreciates that we are human and life is meant to be lived - she works WITH you to craft a lifestyle around food and fitness that is reasonable and maintainable.

Fantastic experience: I initially contacted Theresa to help shed the baby weight I had gained after my first child. She was willing to meet in my office in center city which was very conveninent for me. Her approach towards changing my eating habits was sensible and with her guidance I have lost all my baby weight and more. My meetings with her helped motivate me and I had accountability towards reaching my goal. I would highly recommend her services and she was very pleasant to work with!

Fantastic experience: Theresa is truly great RD. If you are looking for someone to teach you and truly learn how to eat as though it's not a "diet" but "lifestyle" change, she is your girl. Theresa, understands people who live in center city and enjoy trying the restaurants (like me) and she will teach you how to enjoy all these foods, while loosing weight and staying fit. She puts together a lifestyle plan that works BEST for you and only you! Theresa is always available to talk and encourages you along the way! If you are looking to still have a glass of wine; but loose those pounds, I HIGHLY suggest Theresa. As well, she makes plans that are easy, achievable and you can TRULY be honest with her with foods you can give lessen up with during the week and foods you need, she will be sure to incorporate them in your plan! Best part is, she will feel like your friend and buddy! I've seen results and been so pleased with my new eating habits! Thanks Theresa!

Fantastic experience: Theresa helps guide you to not only eat in a healthy sustainable way, but results are amazing. As a lifetime Weight Watchers member, I have never lost weight this fast! Ten pounds in four weeks. This isn’t a diet ... Theresa is about eating healthy!

Fantastic experience: Thank You Theresa You showed me how to get control over my eating habits without punishing myself. I don't feel like have in the past when all I could think about was getting the "diet" over with. Instead, I know I am not on a diet this is the way that I eat now sort of my eating way of life. Thanks for being there to answer my Rotisserie Chicken and Turnip emergency questions. You are such a professional and I learned so much from our sessions! Paula Philadelphia

Fantastic experience: I set up an appointment with Theresa when I decided i needed help with weight management. She taught me to have boundaries with food and to make healthy choices without demonizing food that I would normally indulge on. 37 days later and I just hit my 20lbs down mark and I haven't felt this good in years. Theresa is available via text or email and will always respond to your concerns or if you need a new recipe! One of the best choices I have made was to get outside help with a supportive and encouraging dietician! Call her!

Fantastic experience: If I could give Theresa 10 stars I would. I found Theresa one day as I was so desperately searching the web looking for the right person or place to help with my nutrition/weight issue. After reading the awesome reviews, I reached out to her for an appointment. That was almost 3 months ago, and I am now down 24 lbs (Yay Me:) a few more to go to goal but that's not a problem, I'll get there:) Theresa has helped me with my sugar addiction and my LOVE of cheese. which I thought I'd never conquer. For me, accountability is key and when she told me she is an email or a text away and insists that you reach out to her with any issues, I knew I made the right choice. Thank you Theresa for making me like that person looking back at me in the mirror!!!

Fantastic experience: Theresa put me on a plan that was realistic and sustainable, and it really worked. I would recommend her to anyone trying to lose a few pounds and keep them off.

Fantastic experience: Theresa is a God send ! Very down to earth, accurate , and convenient. She is available when needed, with insight and unsurpassed knowledge! I am down 61 pounds as of now. I see only green lights going forward. Theresa the Sanchez's love ya .

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Theresa over the past few months and she has been amazing. She is knowledgeable and does not recommend anything that she has not tried herself. No matter what your lifestyle is, she is able to customize a meal plan to fit your pace throughout the day. She teaches that it is not a diet but a complete mental overhaul in how you think about what you eat. I have lost 15+ pounds within only two months and would highly recommend paying her a visit.

Fantastic experience: Theresa is awesome! She customizes everything just for you. You will not be pawned off with diets that worked for others nor will you be forced to try and eat foods you do not enjoy. Theresa is flexible and goes over and beyond meetings to make sure you are striving towards your goals. My experience reshaped my food intake (food brain) and allowed me to learn how to monitor, within reason, the food I was consuming. I feel healthier and still enjoy many of the same foods I did before.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Theresa for a few months and highly recommend her services! Before seeing Theresa, I was stuck in a cycle of eating the same semi-nutritious foods daily. Theresa helped me create a stress-free and manageable meal plan that allows for variety. She encourages me to try new foods between visits and helps me expand my meal choices. I feel healthier, happier, and less anxious about making smart food choices. If you want to learn more about nutrition or how to make healthier life choices I recommend contacting Theresa!

Fantastic experience: Theresa is my saviour. I have always struggled with my weight since my junior year of college. I was unhappy with the way I looked and I felt uncomfortable around those I loved. I knew that enough was enough. My internet search came across Philly Dietitian and I knew quickly that this is what I needed. I needed someone to help me to be accountable for what I was putting in my body as well as some one who's prices were reasonable for a large city. Since working with Theresa, I have lost weight, finally put on a bikini for the first time in years and my diet is wholesome and satisfying. I no longer crave the chips and crackers I was eating on a daily basis, I am no longer binging on sugary and salty foods all night long and I no longer feel sluggish like I did before I started working with Theresa. I am thankful to know that along with the meetings I have every few weeks with Theresa, that she is also just a phone call , text message or email away anytime that I need her. Thank you Theresa for putting my life back on track.

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Theresa for almost a year, and it has been an absolute pleasure to be her client. I've had many personal ups and downs during that time, but Theresa has been there to support me every step of the way. She's given me tough love when I needed it, and positive encouragement when I needed it. The accountability I've received from her has been life-saving. Theresa has helped me make better food choices in some of the most challenging situations, and I'm incredibly grateful for that. Theresa is easy to talk to, she's committed to her clients, and she's a true expert in nutrition. She has helped me move in the right direction, and I'm excited to continue forward with her guidance. I would highly recommend Theresa to anyone who wants to eat better, live better, and improve their health.

Fantastic experience: Since I started working with Theresa I have been able to eat healthier and stay on track to reach my weight loss goal, and I feel AMAZING! She is a text, phone call, or email away if I have any questions or concerns about certain foods, staying on track to eating healthier, or anything else that is in her scope of expertise. I highly recommend reaching out to Theresa if you are having trouble reaching you weight loss goals (like I was) and can't seem to figure out what step you should take next, or you just want to be an overall healthier person, you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: Theresa is fantastic to work with! She set gradual and realistic goals, rather than try to immediately force me into a plan that wouldn't be sustainable. I'd highly recommend working with her for anyone looking for weight loss help or just trying to improve general health.

Fantastic experience: Theresa is such an amazing person! I started working with her in February, shortly after the passing of my father, Theresa helped me stay on track with my health and eating habits. Since then I am currently down 50lbs and feeling better than ever! I even recommended her to my cousin who has skin problems. She is very good at what she does and also very cool and down to earth and easy to talk to!

Fantastic experience: Theresa helped me lose 22 pounds in just four visits with her. She helped me tremendously improve my diet by gradually incorporating changes along the way. She coached me through late night cravings, peer pressure around food, among many other food-related issues. Theresa is always frank but very kind and will help you move towards a healthy relationship with food. I am very grateful for her help and would 100% recommend her to anyone who is open to becoming a better version of themselves.

Fantastic experience: Theresa has been awesome! She is incredibly observant, knowledgeable and well-informed. During my first visit, she quickly identified issues with my diet and provided me with a very manageable meal plan for healthy eating with my dietary issues. She provided me with great information about the diet I needed to adhere to and has been consistently available to answer any questions that I've had. I can honestly say that I've never felt better!!!

Fantastic experience: I went to Theresa while on an established diet program. I had my portions under control but was uncomfortable with all the low fat, fat free, diet options suggested in the program. In addition, I had arthritis and I was interested in learning about how to better manage that condition with diet. Theresa has a freshingly educated nutritional awareness. She is an active listener and her comments and suggestions were specific to me. I have successfully recommended Theresa to others interested in a sustainable approach to their current and future health.

Fantastic experience: Teresa has been a crucial part of my weight loss and healthy eating goals. She is supportive and helpful but also very realistic with society norms of food. She gives recipe suggestions and allows for texting with clients. This really helps with questions that come up in the moment.

Fantastic experience: Teresa easily connects your eating habits with your current mindset and offers solutions that make you accountable for your health. I am 20lbs down from about 4.5 months without any additional exercise (that's next) and still going.

Fantastic experience: Theresa does her best to help you get on track with your eating habits. She works with your schedule and makes it easy for you to eat healthier and you will feel full. I highly recommend seeing her if you need some help, I am happy I did.
