Edwin Johnson

About Edwin

Food and movement are part of how I live and how I practice. As an RD with 10 years of experience, I earned my BS in Nutrition and Dietetics at CUNY Queens College and I'm currently pursuing an MBA through the University of Illinois Gies College of Business. I've worked in clinical settings, community health, and sports nutrition, which helps me translate research into plans that actually fit daily life. When I’m off the clock I’m powerlifting, hiking, cooking, shooting photos, or listening to music. I help people eat well in a way that fits their life, no food rules required.

Approach to care

Science shapes the recommendations I make, and compassion shapes how we get there. I use evidence-based strategies while keeping conversations warm and judgment-free. We’ll set clear, practical steps together and focus on sustainable habits rather than quick fixes. I practice from a Health At Every Size, weight-neutral perspective, looking at the whole person, not just food. Education is central, so I’ll explain the why behind choices and give direct, doable actions that build long-term confidence.

Your first session with Edwin

We’ll use the first visit to build a clear picture together. I will review your medical history and any available lab work or biometrics, and we’ll have a deep, non-judgmental conversation about your relationship with food, routines, and what’s been working or not. From there we’ll establish short-term goals and create a practical meal plan you can actually follow. You don’t need to have everything figured out, just come as you are, and we’ll leave with concrete next steps you can start using right away.
