Mia Chiecchio

Registered Dietitian in Springboro and Cincinnati

MS, RDN, LD

My motto – Always do the best you can each day and prioritize balance over perfection. Progress is not linear and our best may look different each day. We have to be compassionate towards ourselves, that’s how we heal. Food should provide support for your body and bring joy (and some foods may do one or the other and that’s okay!).

My “why” – My father taught me to appreciate food and value quality over quantity. He is from Italy and I have family members who are farmers there. He made a little garden in our backyard that I helped tend to and he also taught me how to cook. That love for food turned into a love for nutrition and an understanding of how food can heal us. I developed a strong interest in holistic health because I was fascinated by how nutrition, stress, mental health, physical activity, and sleep can all go hand-in-hand. Over the years, I saw my own parents go through health struggles, which strengthened my urge to know more about nutrition. This deepened my empathy toward others as I never want anyone to feel they are struggling, so I always do my best to help and guide individuals towards feeling even just a little bit better.

My credentials – I earned my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, Nutrition & Health from Miami University and after taking a year off, I went back to Miami to complete my Master of Science in Kinesiology, Nutrition & Health and dietetic internship. During my internship, I gained experience at several locations, including Kettering Health, Christ Hospital, and WIC. I am a Registered Dietitian, a Licensed Dietitian, and a member of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
