About Elena Swain, RD:
Elena developed an interest in nutrition after dealing with her own struggles around food in high school. It led her to the goal of helping others reach their health and wellness goals through better nutrition.
“Being a dietitian is about so much more than just food. I really enjoy the science involved in nutrition, so I often discuss chemistry and our metabolism during patient education. Breaking down the complex science of nutrition in an easy-to-understand way helps patients understand the true importance of adequate nutrition,” she explains.
She is most looking forward to working with the community on how to support their wellness goals through nutrition. “Unfortunately, there is often a lack of nutrition resources available in rural areas. I grew up in Troy and love this community, so I felt like I needed to ‘come back home’ to be part of that change. I am passionate about providing nutrition education and addressing other issues like food insecurity and malnutrition, common experiences for many in rural communities.”
In her free time, you can find her at any good coffee shop. She loves going for walks, finding the best greenhouses, or just lounging at home with her husband and son.
