© 2025 The Nutritional Nerd
Description
My name is Kelly Aiello, and I’m a registered holistic nutritionist (RHN) and Brain Health Coach. I created the Nutritional Nerd podcast as a place to connect with people who are looking to live a happier, healthier life. I want to give you the tools you need to unlock your full potential and to live the kind of life you have always imagined. When it comes to nutrition, there is a lot of conflicting information. It seems like every week there's a new study and a new fad diet that seem to contradict the news from last week. The truth is everyone is different and biochemically unique. As such, your body has different needs. It also means there is not a single one-size-fits-all diet for everyone. Together we'll cut through all the hype and learn what your eating habits should look like to get you whole food optimized.
