Meet Our Founder and Registered Dietitian
Mariana was born and raised in Monterrey, Mexico. She completed her undergraduate studies in Nutrition and Dietetics at the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, where she developed a deep understanding of health rooted in the cultural and dietary traditions of Mexico. Driven by her passion for advancing her expertise, Mariana moved to New York City for graduate school, where she earned her Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition from the prestigious New York University (NYU). Following her master’s, she completed a rigorous dietetic internship at NYU Langone Health, gaining hands-on experience in clinical care.
Now based in Chicago with her husband and three children, Mariana believes that every Latino and Hispanic individual deserves expert nutrition care that doesn’t just speak their language, but truly understands and lives their culture. Through Elemento Health, she is dedicated to providing nutrition guidance that resonates deeply, honors cultural traditions, and supports the health and well-being of her community.
“Mariana Dineen, a registered dietitian has been focusing on nutritious, easy and healthy meals that can be prepared in 20 minutes or less."
"The Mediterranean diet is not only about the food," registered dietitian Mariana Dineen previously told Insider. Rather, she said, it also advocates for people to slow down, enjoy mealtimes, and connect with the food and the people you savor it with."
“When it comes to antioxidants, supplements aren't the best way to go. "There is no evidence to support that antioxidant supplements can prevent chronic diseases," Dineen says.”
