Expertise: Diabetes, emotional eating, menu analysis

Christa Brown is a registered dietitian and business owner with a practice focus on diabetes management and content development for brands and fitness influencers. She is a licensed dietitian with a Master of Science in Nutrition Education and a certification in gut health by the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. She also has over a decade of experience managing food service operations, accrediting a dietetic internship (by creating education and program requirements) and analyzing recipes for organizations such as the American Diabetes Association.

As someone who has struggled with prediabetes, she uses her journey to help make nutrition easy to understand and, above all else, relatable for the patient. Furthermore, she helps men and women overcome binge eating by healing the emotional trauma that prevents control over their type 2 diabetes, cravings and ultimately their blood sugar. 

Christa is considered an expert in her field and has been quoted in online magazines including Parade, Women’s Health, Food Network, Everyday Health, Healthline, Fitbit, Livestrong and Well + Good. People describe her as a trailblazing spark-plug full of happy energy, and it bleeds into every part of her work. When she’s not working at her ergonomic desk with a yoga ball for a chair, she’s outside pruning a bush, video-recording a new recipe, surfing at the beach or begging her husband to go to a new restaurant.
