Gina Cousineau, MS, RDN
Gina Cousineau, MS, RDN, affectionately known as “Mama G,” is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, culinary professional, and fitness expert with more than 30 years of experience helping individuals create sustainable lifestyle change. She earned her Associate Degree in Culinary Arts and began her career as a chef’s apprentice with Hilton Corporation before earning her BS in Dietetics. She later completed her Master of Science in Integrative and Functional Nutrition.
Gina’s career has uniquely integrated culinary arts, nutrition, fitness, and behavior change. As a young mother, she founded a prenatal and postpartum fitness program and went on to work as a group exercise instructor, personal trainer, and fitness manager. These experiences shaped her practical, individualized approach to nutrition and lifestyle counseling.
Today, Gina focuses on helping clients translate nutrition science into realistic, sustainable habits that support long-term health and disease prevention. She emphasizes minimally processed, nutrient-dense foods, strategic meal planning and batch cooking, enjoyable home cooking, and intentional physical activity. Her virtual recipe library of more than 200 recipes reflects her belief that culturally diverse, flavorful food can be both nourishing and accessible.
Gina is passionate about the role of nutrition and lifestyle in preventive health and cardiovascular risk reduction. She believes effective prevention requires more than nutrition recommendations—it requires meeting individuals where they are, empowering them with practical tools, and supporting informed, shared decision-making with their healthcare team.
A lifelong learner, wife, mother, and grandmother, Gina brings both professional expertise and real-life perspective to her work. Her mission is to help people make meaningful lifestyle changes that support health, longevity, and quality of life.
