About Nahyeli Perpina
This provider is not licensed in the states of CT, MA, MD, OK, WA, TX and HI. Nahyeli always wanted to help others regain their health, and as such, she decided to go to medical school. It was during her journey to become a physician that she found her passion for nutrition. She understood that she not only wanted to help people become healthier but also wanted to have a lasting impact and help them achieve their long-term goals. During her nutrition training at New York University, where she earned a Master's in Clinical Nutrition, she became aware of the lack of culturally sensitive resources available in healthcare. This motivated her to develop tailored nutrition strategies that honor diverse food cultures and traditions. Along with joining the team at Culina Health, Nahyeli serves as an inpatient dietitian at the Veterans Affairs Health System, combining clinical expertise with roles in cooking demos and public speaking on various nutrition-related topics. She completed her Internship in Dietetics at the James J. Peters VA Medical Center.

Nahyeli did a wonderful job going at a pace that I could understand and left me plenty of time to ask questions. I was diagnosed with a GI disorder a few weeks ago, and she helped me feel less stressed about foods and changes in my diet. I’m looking forward to working with her more!

Nahyeli was great! She really knows her stuff and listened to my concerns. She relieved me greatly. I’m taking her advice and finding it helpful. She followed up with a really detailed email. I cannot be happier with her!

They never contacted me about my appointment. I called their office and left a voicemail but did not get a call back. There was no appointment because they did not do their part. I am very disappointed.

I would definitely go back and I can’t wait for my next session next week. It was my first time ever speaking with a dietitian/nutritionist and I felt no pressure at all. I feel really good about starting my new journey.

My session with Nahyeli was great. Nahyeli's warm and kind disposition made me feel comfortable talking about my eating habits and overall health. During the session, Nahyeli asked questions and gave me excellent tips based on my current lifestyle and goals. The goals and plan that Nahyeli created are realistic and feasible according to my habits and lifestyle. I appreciate the quick turnaround time of receiving my care plan following the appointment. I would recommend Nahyeli to someone looking for an RD.
