Meet the Owner
Hello, I’m Larissa, Founder & Owner of The Global Harvest RD. Your online wellness boutique! I’m an experienced Registered/Licensed Dietitian, Health Behavior Researcher, and Certified Lactation Counselor specializing in body composition improvement, sports nutrition, allergy-free eating, growing food from seed, and staying healthy while traveling & on-the-go.
My Story
Throughout my childhood, I participated in many sports activities including ice skating, competitive gymnastics, dance, rec soccer, and diving. Despite my active lifestyle, I never received any guidance on how my daily eating and health habits could impact and improve (or hurt) my athletic performance. In addition, my family’s strong Ukrainian heritage sparked my interest in learning about how different cultures view food, eating, and health. So, when I went to college, I decided to study nutrition.
Fast forward to today and my passion for healthy lifestyles has inspired me to share my knowledge with others to support them in living their best and healthiest lives. My goal is to help individuals figure out the small, healthy habits that can be integrated into their own lifestyles for sustainable, healthy living that will last a lifetime. I believe that everyone deserves access to quality healthcare and reliable health information. That’s why I am dedicated to providing culturally - and LGBTQIA2S+ - inclusive care.
