Find your way

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.

 

My work is grounded in the belief that real change is possible and that it begins with understanding how food fits into your life.

​

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

​

But my story is not just about credentials. It began with a simple but life changing realization. I wanted a healthier, more peaceful relationship with food. That desire became my North Star and it still guides everything I do.

​

Before that moment, I spent years in the same place many people find themselves. Influenced by the messages around me, 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. I blamed myself for not being able to make the changes I thought I was supposed to make.

​

Eventually, I realized the problem was not me. It was the mindset I had absorbed. That is when everything shifted.

I began listening to my body, questioning the rules, and redefining what health meant to me. That personal journey, imperfect and powerful, is what led me to pursue my graduate degree in nutrition and become a Registered Dietitian. I wanted to help others move away from confusion and toward a way of eating that feels clear, supportive, and sustainable.

​

Today, I bring a blend of nutrition expertise, mindset coaching, and practical home economics to every client relationship. My approach is shaped by decades of experience and by my own transformation, from uncertainty and self-doubt to nourishment and self-trust.

Over time, I developed a flexible, empowering framework that fits real life.

 

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

​

I am committed to collaborative, compassionate coaching. Like Polaris, the North Star, I am here to guide. You already hold the wisdom. I help you access it.

​

If you are ready to feel more at ease with food and more confident in your choices, I am here to help you begin.
