Tina Marinaccio MS RD CPT - Health Dynamics LLC

I cannot say enough good things about Tina. She is an amazingly knowledgeable nutritionist and chef. Not only is she full of ideas for healthy delicious recipes, she’ll also take the time to show you how to cook them (and will even make them for you if you want)! What’s more, her knowledge of disease-busting anti-inflammatory food/recipes is top notch. She will also talk about what you should and shouldn’t be buying at the grocery store. If you are looking to revamp your diet to makeover your health, Tina is THE person to go to. She’s also super friendly and down to earth, making the entire process fun and enjoyable. Cannot recommend her highly enough.

Tina is a very knowledgeable professional who takes the time to explain things and answer questions for you. When changing your lifestyle, it can be daunting and difficult; but Tina never made it seem impossible. She was thorough and supportive. I would recommend her for any of your dietary questions, changes, and needs. She was super helpful to me and in a relatable and practical way.

Vegetarian for 31 years and having grown up in a meat eating household, I've always been one to figure things out on my own when it came to my nutrition. I was running into some health issues so I knew I was doing something wrong...despite never being a junk food person and always being active. Working with Tina has been life changing. She is always available to answer questions and the plan she suggested I follow has been like magic. I feel better than ever. I would recommend anyone who is looking to feel better, lose weight, correct health issues, whatever your goal might be...work with Tina! She is an EXPERT!

I don't know how I can ever thank Tina enough for how positively she has impacted my life. I have known and worked with Tina for the past 21 years, so it will be difficult to keep this review short, believe me, but I will try my best!

I first engaged Tina as my physical strength and weight trainer. Her exercise training sessions are amazing in many respects. First, she has kept me in very good shape through her expertise, encouragement, and unending enthusiasm. As a musician I am very protective of my hands and wrists. Tina is always sensitive to this and modifies any exercise that might unduly stress them. This next thing will be hard to believe, but we have never exactly repeated a single exercise session in 21 years! I kid you not. Her imagination and vast knowledge allows her to come up with seemingly endless variations of exercises. Working out with Tina is never boring or rote!

At the beginning of our sessions I was suffering from sinus problems and weight gain. Through a series of food eliminations we discovered that I was highly sensitive to dairy products. By suggesting alternative nondairy foods rich in calcium, I was able for the first time in my life to experience the joys of having clear sinuses. As a bonus I almost immediately started to drop weight. For 20 years I have maintained a healthy weight for my height and body type. Tina is also an expert chef and, as with her exercise instruction, has an endless supply of delicious and healthy recipes to share. The basic diet she created for me years ago is still the template I use for cooking to this day.

Having turned 60 years old a little while back, I tested as having a rather high glucose level. I was so surprised, but found out that many people my age do. It's very common. Gone unchecked, however, it can lead to more serious consequences like diabetes. Tina assured me that with a few modifications to my diet I could easily reverse the diagnosis. Within 3 months, by limiting refined sugar and many simple carbohydrates, my glucose level returned to a normal rate. No medications required!

I LOVE food. I LOVE to cook and to eat. (See my Yelp profile.) Thanks to Tina, at age 63, I am in excellent health, maintaining my weight, and enjoying healthy foods. Tina taught me how to love healthy food and create gourmet meals that I not only enjoy myself, but have no hesitation whatsoever to serve my guests to their total satisfaction and delight.

Tina is a rare find in life. She is intelligent, kind, talented, and compassionate. I could not recommend her services more highly!

Our blood test results were headed in the wrong direction. We sought Tina out through the Chambers Center for Well Being where she holds monthly Healthy Cooking Classes - which, by the way, are excellent. Meetings with Tina, focused on developing individualized anti-inflammatory diet plans. We were very impressive on how she explains the interaction of food and its nutrients with the human body and how it can cause different results. She teaches the benefits of healthy eating in a clear and understandable way. The plans provided are easy to follow and the food enjoyable - both of us have lost significant weight and feel better over all. In our follow up meetings Tina addressed specific health issues and provided reference material to deepen our knowledge on various subjects. She has a broad knowledge of how food impacts health and shares that information in a professional way. Tina is an excellent coach and teacher, very understanding, patient and encouraging - a pleasure to meet with. The information, guidance and direction Tina has provided, made us more knowledgeable about food and how it impacts our bodies. As a result we are following a healthier lifestyle and making better food choices - so glad we found Tina.
