About Me
Monica Pirez Garcia RDN
Mission Statement
I am a board-certified Functional Registered Dietitian Nutritionist on a mission to help as many people as possible reach their goals through food and nutrition.
Having a daughter with moderate ADHD has helped me realize my passion for helping other families improve their lives through nutrition. Having identified her nutritional imbalances has helped us navigate towards improving her behaviors and a more happy and peaceful family dynamic. It helped me realize that so much can be done when the proper nutrition is applied in meaningful ways.

Personal Story
After having spent years in structural engineering, I re-dedicated my life to health and wellness in 2000. I presently focus on helping other parents of children with ADHD reduce symptoms naturally by unconvering any nutritional imbalances that are playing a role in ADHD behaviors and symptoms. I enjoy providing my clients with transformative information on diet, food trends, supplement reviews, healthy recipes, and nutrition’s overall impact on health and ADHD.
My background in structural engineering and extensive experience in nutrition has led me to find the optimal science-based solution to reducing ADHD symptoms. Just as a building requires beams and columns for strength and longevity, so does the human body. Having nutritional imbalances can lead to biochemical errors that affect brain health and behaviors. By restoring balance, we can help our children become their optimal selves.
I am a happily married mom with 2 beautiful daughters and a very delightful dog. I currently reside in Manhattan, New York, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I enjoy cooking (most days) and am always trying out new healthy recipes to find the next great dish to serve to my family.
