About Me
Hi! I’m Dr. Gabrielle Fundaro, CHC
I’m an ACE-certified Health Coach with specialized training in motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral coaching. My journey into the world of nutrition and health began with a deep curiosity about the human body and a passion for helping others achieve their best selves. This passion led me to earn a BS in Exercise, Sport, and Health Education from Radford University, followed by a PhD in Human Nutrition, Foods, and Exercise from Virginia Tech where I studied the role of the gut microbiome in metabolic health.
My academic career flourished as an Assistant Professor of Exercise Science at Georgia Gwinnett College, where I had the privilege of guiding the next generation of health professionals. However, my desire to make a more personal impact drew me to the world of coaching. I spent four incredible years as a Renaissance Periodization Nutrition Coach, helping clients transform their lives through evidence-based nutrition.
 In 2021, I made the leap to focus fully on my own business, Vitamin PhD Nutrition, bringing with me a wealth of experience and knowledge from my academic and coaching career. My work extends beyond one-on-one coaching. I’ve also collaborated with some of the most respected names in the industry, including Examine.com, BarBend.com, Precision Nutrition, Girls Gone Strong, and magazines such as Oxygen and Reader's Digest.
Additionally, as a board member of both the Nutrition Coaching Global Mastermind (NCGM) and the Sports Nutrition Association (SNA), I’m actively involved in shaping the future of online nutrition coaching.
What truly sets my approach apart is my holistic focus. I’m not just about what’s on your plate; I’m about what’s in your mind, your body, and your life. I’ve witnessed the damaging effects of diet culture—both professionally and personally—and I’m committed to helping my clients break free from its grip. Together, we’ll build a balanced, satisfying relationship with food that supports your overall well-being, helping you nourish your whole self.
Whether you’re a client looking to transform your relationship with food or a fellow coach seeking guidance, I’m here to empower you with the tools, knowledge, and support you need to thrive. My mission is to help you create lasting change that goes beyond the numbers on the scale, leading to a life that’s truly fulfilling.
