Heba Abdelnabi

About Heba

I am a dietitian who enjoys working with people from diverse backgrounds and helping them make sustainable, realistic changes that fit their lifestyle. I have experience working in clinical, community health, and college settings. I support patients with diabetes, weight management, cardiometabolic health, and women's health including prenatal and postpartum nutrition. I value building trust, meeting patients where they are, and creating practical plans that feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active, reading, traveling, and exploring different cuisines and cafés, which keeps me connected to food and culture in a balanced way.

Approach to care

Evidence and empathy guide how I work. I use science-backed strategies from clinical practice and research to create clear, practical steps we can try together. My goal is sustainable change, not quick fixes, and I take a Health At Every Size lens so our focus stays on behaviors and wellbeing rather than numbers on a scale. I aim to educate and empower you, offering direct, achievable actions while holding space for the whole person, emotional and physical, without judgment.

Your first session with Heba

In the first session, you can expect a supportive, judgment-free conversation where we talk about your health history, daily routine, eating habits, and goals. I will ask questions to better understand your lifestyle and any challenges you are facing so we can create a plan that truly fits you. Together, we will set realistic, personalized goals and I will provide practical guidance and education you can start using right away. The goal is for you to leave feeling heard, supported, and clear on next steps.
