Meet Deelicious Dietitian

About the Owner

Deanna Gallicchio or "Dee" is a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Care Education Specialist based in Long Island, NY. Her background as a dancer allowed her to witness the challenges her and her loved ones confronted in their battles with eating disorders and body image. Deanna knows firsthand how to overcome the struggles of disordered eating, the pressures of society, and the ongoing battle to achieve balance and self-acceptance. She helps others follow in the same footsteps. This experience sparked a deep-seated purpose within her — to use the power of nutrition to heal lives and transform people's connections with food.

Deanna holds an MS in Clinical Nutrition, a BA in Psychology, and completed her dietetic internship at the University at Buffalo. She earned a BS in Nutrition and Dietetics with a minor in Chemistry at Buffalo State College. She is also a certified yoga and Zumba instructor integrating the importance of movement, mindfulness, and coping strategies into her teachings to promote mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.

Our Mission

Deanna's mission is to support individuals in preventing, managing, and addressing chronic health conditions. Through practical skills, tools, and education, she empowers others to embrace a holistic and healthy lifestyle. Her approach emphasizes a non-diet standpoint, focusing on achieving balance across all aspects of life.

Our process involves understanding each individual's unique needs, creating personalized nutrition plans, setting individualized goals, managing chronic conditions, and providing ongoing guidance and support.
