Lisa A. Mejia is a Registered & Licensed Dietitian/Nutritionist. Her journey into dietetics and nutrition began on a quest to learn how to improve her own disordered eating for disease prevention, in addition to supporting others on their journey to optimal health and well-being. Lisa’s career in dietetics began in 2006, working as a diet clerk in a variety of skilled nursing and rehabilitation centers in New Jersey while studying to become a Registered Dietetic Technician (DTR). As a DTR, she continued to work in a skilled nursing and rehabilitation center in Delray Beach, Florida while studying to become a Registered Dietitian. In December of 2011, Lisa earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Dietetics/Nutrition from Florida International University in Miami, Florida. In 2012, she relocated to Spring Hill, Florida where she began her career at Spring Hill Regional Hospital (now Tampa General Hospital Spring Hill) as a Registered Dietitian. Early in her career, Lisa observed that many people were being readmitted to the hospital due to acute complications of Inflammatory Bowel Disease despite following Medical Nutrition Therapy guidelines. Her curiosity and desire to find solutions to these nutritional challenges led her to the Academy of Integrative and Functional Nutrition where she became an Integrative and Functional Nutrition Certified Practitioner (IFNCP) in April of 2018. In November of 2018, Lisa relocated to Boston, Massachusetts.
