Alyssa Pike, RDN

Alyssa Pike, RDN, is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist on a mission to help people learn how to eat healthy without obsessing over it. Her work has spanned mass health and nutrition communications via her role at the International Food Information Council all the way to individual counseling sessions through her practice Gratefully Nourished. Alyssa has had the opportunity to sift through nutrition research and translate it into consumer-friendly language, craft and execute compelling digital media communications, deliver consumer research initiatives that provide insights on what Americans think about food, nutrition and health, and work individually with people struggling along the spectrum of disordered eating and eating disorders.

Alyssa received her B.S. in Nutrition Sciences from Pennsylvania State University and completed her dietetic internship through the University of Maryland. She is a member of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and previously served on the Leadership Team for the Nutrition Education for the Public Dietetic Practice Group within the Academy.

She is most fulfilled when given the opportunity to help people expand their definition of health and learn how to make nourishing and enjoyable food choices—regardless of the setting. Alyssa’s favorite moments are slow and simple, like enjoying a cappuccino first thing in the morning or sitting across a table with friends and family.
