Hi! I am Melissa.

Melissa Joda Moody MS, RDN, CD

Owner of Joda Nutrition

I am a registered dietitian nutritionist and certified dietitian located in Wisconsin. I have several years of experience working in behavioral health settings with individuals who struggle with eating disorders and disordered eating patterns. I am passionate about helping others see their own light and healing their relationship with food and their body.

My nutrition philosophy:

  • I use science-based nutrition principles of intuitive eating to work towards body trust

  • I assess change in behaviors, not weight, as measures of health outcomes

  • I believe all bodies matter and deserve to be treated with respect
