Maria Curcio, MS, RD, CDE

Fit4D Nutrition Coach

Maria Curcio is a registered dietitian and a certified diabetes educator. She has a Master of Science in Nutrition and 20 years of experience in nutrition counseling, ten of which have been working in diabetes, weight management and cardiovascular disease.

She has served in various capacities in the field of nutrition from counseling children who have weight management issues or type 1diabetes to developing program content for a diabetes disease management program for health plans. The latter involved providing educational opportunities to members who were identified with type 1, type 2 or gestational diabetes. Through outreach efforts members are provided educational interventions through written material, phone counseling or referrals to classes in their community. Maria has also practiced in the outpatient pediatric subspecialties of inborn errors, cystic fibrosis and in the neonatal ICU setting. She has written numerous research articles in neonatal nutrition.

Maria’s interest is in providing individuals who have chronic conditions with the skills and resources that they need that lead to permanent behavioral changes that improve health. “The most rewarding part of working in the health and wellness industry is watching when a client who I’ve been educating – whether it’s type 1 or type 2 diabetes achieve their goals. I take pleasure in that armed with the right information and resources, people with diabetes, or any other chronic disease, can manage their disease instead of the other way around.”
