About Heba Abdel Latief, MPH, MS, RDN, CDCES

Welcome! I’m Heba, the owner of Nutrition by Heba, a space to help you thrive on your nutrition journey. My work is inspired by a deep interest in food, science, and - most importantly - people. I’ve seen firsthand how nutrition education and counseling gives my clients more energy, helps reverse disease, and assists individuals with managing their health conditions in holistic and impactful ways.

Through our sessions, we’ll celebrate successes and work together through challenges. Sessions are collaborative, positive, and deeply rewarding - giving you the tools to create lifelong habits you can sustain and enjoy. Heba helps translate evidence based recommendations to fit each person's unique needs, lifestyle, and preferences without the guesswork and that empower you to feel more confident in your knowledge of food, your health conditions, and dietary practices.

Food should help us feel our best, while also honoring culture, joy, connection, and community. As a mother myself, I am also especially inspired by the short and long term health benefits that support both you and generations to come. In addition to nutrition counseling, I also serve patients with complex medical needs within hospital settings, teach nutrition classes in community spaces, and offer consulting services for various institutions.
