Meet Christina

​

Hi, I am Christina Schumann, the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist behind Polaris Nutrition LLC. I care deeply about whole person health, food as nourishment, and the lifelong process of becoming more connected to yourself.

 

I have been a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist since 2006. I hold a Master of Public Health in Human Nutrition from the University of Michigan. I am also a certified Health Coach, Weight Management Specialist, and Behavior Change Specialist through the American Council on Exercise.

 

My work is grounded in the belief that real change is possible. It begins with your relationship with food. Before I ever studied nutrition, I lived the struggle myself. I spent years trying to follow plans that never felt quite right, feeling confused about what to eat, and wondering why it all felt harder than it should. Eventually, I realized the problem was not me. It was the mindset I had absorbed.

 

That realization changed everything. I began listening to my body, questioning the rules, and redefining what health meant to me. That personal transformation is what led me to pursue my graduate degree, become a dietitian, and dedicate my career to helping others find clarity, confidence, and peace with food.

 

Over time, I developed a flexible and empowering framework that fits real life. This framework grew into what I now call Empowered Eating. Empowered Eating is both a mindset and a method. It helps you build a healthier relationship with food, connect with your body’s signals, understand your eating patterns, and make choices that support your well being with more trust and self direction.

 

Today, I bring together nutrition expertise, mindset coaching, behavior change science, and practical planning. My approach is shaped by decades of experience and by my own transformation from confusion and self doubt to nourishment and self trust.

 

My goal is to help you understand what shapes your choices, reconnect with your body’s signals, and build habits that support your whole health.

 

If you are ready to feel more at ease with food and more confident in your choices, I would be honored to guide you.
