Glastonbury Resident Launches Nutrition Nanny, Addressing Pregnancy, Childhood, and Family Nutrition Crisis
On the heels of an alarming 3% spike in youth obesity since the start of the pandemic, a CT-based startup, Nutrition Nanny®, offers a new direction forward.
GLASTONBURY, CT May 1 , 2022 – Deirdre Pizzoferrato, a 20+ year registered dietitian and industry-shaping innovator, announces the launch of Nutrition Nanny®, a nutrition education and intervention platform that provides customized solutions to nutrition and weight-related challenges from pregnancy throughout the teen years. Nutrition Nanny® is a return to Pizzoferrato’s true passion and mission after years of working in adult weight management as the Director of Protocol Innovation for a national weight loss company.
Prompting her return to Nutrition Nanny®, a venture that Pizzoferrato originally started over 15 years ago, was news of the spike in child and adolescent obesity rates resulting from school shutdowns and social isolation. “We anticipated that this unprecedented event would impact the current rates of child and adolescent obesity, but a rise in excess of 3% is far beyond expectation. That is a decades-rise in just 18 months. The long-term impact on the health of this generation will be devastating without intervention.”
And that intervention is what Nutrition Nanny® is offering virtually to families across the country. All customized plans and programs address behavior, environment, and personalized nutrition using its proprietary NutriBlocks Guidance system.
Customized plans for navigating these formative stages of development are provided by Nutrition Nanny®. Goals and actionable steps are reinforced through weekly online coaching sessions and education, organized in to plans for pregnancy for each trimester and family/children needs of all types. These include the fully individualized Blossom Plans, Eating for Two, Peace of Mind Consultation, and Back on Track: Family Action Plan.
The mission of Nutrition Nanny® goes beyond managing and reversing the current trends of pre-obesity and obesity. Unique to the Nutrition Nanny® brand and approach is the continuum of primary prevention and preventing the seeds of obesity from taking root beginning as early as pregnancy and extending throughout the early years of childhood.
Expectant Parents and Families who are looking for thoughtful and effective solutions to tackling issues of childhood nutrition, before and after they become problematic, can start by visiting the company’s website at www.nutritionnanny.com.
