About Our Nutritionists

Katie Cavuto, MS, RD, LDN, is a registered dietician and a personal chef. She received a Bachelor of Science in Culinary Nutrition from Johnson & Wales University in Providence, Rhode Island, where she also held many culinary positions in local restaurants. Following receipt of her Bachelor’s degree, she went on to receive a Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition from Tufts University in Boston. Subsequently, Ms. Cavuto became a registered dietician. Ms. Cavuto specializes in nutrition counselling for weight management, as well as sports nutrition and wellness.

At the Rittenhouse Women’s Wellness Center, Ms. Cavuto develops meal plans for clients that revolve around simplicity and client taste. She uses simple, unprocessed ingredients that are based on easy-to-follow recipes. Ms. Cavuto is also the founder of Healthy Bites, a personal chef and in-home meal service available through Rittenhouse Women’s Wellness Center.

Ms. Cavuto can be seen regularly on FOX Philadelphia news television as a nutrition contributor. She has traveled to more than fifteen countries, inspiring the person she is today and her culinary point of view.

Nicole Ciullo, RD, is a registered dietitian and nutrition counselor. She became interested in nutrition at a young age, as she struggled with her own weight and worked to learn more about the correlation between diet, fitness and a healthy lifestyle. Later, as an undergraduate, Ms. Ciullo studied the basic foundation of nutrition and the science of how it affects our bodies.

As part of her studies, Ms. Ciullo found work with the New Jersey State WIC (Women, Infants, & Children) Dietetic Internship Program, where she completed coursework in a number of health-related studies, including maternal and pediatric nutrition, preventative and therapeutic nutrition, and nutrition for disease prevention. She also spent time with a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator in a private practice where she observed the dietitian counsel patients, primarily women, on weight loss, diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol.  It was during this experience of my internship that she realized the impact nutrition counseling can have.

After graduating, Ms. Ciullo continued her work at the WIC.  As a nutritionist, she educated program participants on prenatal and postpartum, infant and child nutrition.  She specifically worked with a younger population of women to inform them about good nutrition and how to pass this on to their children.

Before starting at RWWC, Ms. Ciullo also worked as a clinical dietitian at Innova Health & Rehab, a sub acute rehab / long term care facility. There she counseled patients from young adults to the elderly on obesity, recovering from gastric bypass surgery, high cholesterol, hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, gastrointestinal illness, and cancer.
 
In her role as nutrition counselor at RWWC, Ms. Ciullo hopes to promote good nutrition in order to prevent or delay the onset of diet-related illnesses.  The Rittenhouse Women’s Wellness Center provides an extremely positive and encouraging environment, something that she truly believes will benefit every patient.
