Hi There!
I’m Olga Afonsky, a weight loss nutritionist in DC.
I love helping people figure out what and how they need to eat to get a body that will give them comfort and confidence. What I love even more is offering them support and encouragement, working through roadblocks and trigger foods, improving their relationship with food, and freeing them from anxiety and guilt around food choices. My clients have taught me so much about their weight-loss struggles. Each story is unique, complex, and fascinating!
I understand the desire to get the body of your dream as quickly as possible. However, to keep that body, you often need to change your food preferences and eating habits, learn new skills and coping mechanisms, and build a self-care routine and resilience to stress. And that is what makes my approach so unique and sustainable.
You have the inner wisdom to be successful on your journey to health and the body of your dream. What I bring to the process is knowledge of nutrition and physiology and a friendly voice when you need cheering up or accountability.
Kind words from my clients

Get To Know Me
I live in DC together with my husband and our daughter. Our two sons are already out of the nest, sadly. Ruby, our beloved labradoodle, is the newest addition to the family.
I love gardening! So the best weekend for me is when I crawl back inside after digging in the dirt all day long. It is so rewarding to grow my food and even more fun to harvest it! I grow vegetables, berries, herbs, medicinal as well as culinary, and flowers.
I’m very much into cooking and experimenting in the kitchen. For instance, I love baking sourdough bread, fermenting and pickling, and making traditional recipes from around the world. What a pleasure to gather around a table with my family and my friends!
