Anthea Levi, RDN, is a registered dietitian nutritionist and health writer who believes that how and what we eat drives the way we feel, think, and live. Her mission is to help Illumine patients “feel better than ever, from the inside out.”

After earning her Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology from Emory University and her master’s in Nutrition & Dietetics from New York University, Anthea completed a dietetic internship at NYU Langone Health in New York City and worked as a lead dietitian at Culina Health—culminating in the founding of her own practice, ALIVE+WELL Nutrition.

Anthea’s approach emphasizes how “balanced eating is a form of self-care, not punishment,” as she explains. “A healthy relationship with food should allow us to connect deeper to ourselves and to others, not isolate us. Food should ideally keep us calm and well-fueled, rather than stressed and restricted.”
