About Me
I’m Deborah Clifford, MS, RD, a Registered Dietitian dedicated to helping people feel their best through simple, sustainable, plant-centered nutrition. My journey into dietetics began long before I ever studied nutrition formally. Growing up, my mother struggled with depression, and I often found myself searching for answers—reading everything I could about food, health, and the connection between nourishment and emotional well-being. Those early experiences planted the seeds of a lifelong passion: understanding how what we eat can support our bodies, our mood, and our overall quality of life. Combined with a family history of cancer, these personal experiences shaped not only my career path but also my deep commitment to empowering others with compassionate, evidence-based guidance.
Today, at The Cozy Healthy Hub, I bring together professional expertise and personal understanding to offer one-on-one virtual nutrition consultations tailored to each individual’s health goals and lifestyle. My philosophy is anchored in a plant-centered approach that focuses on whole, nourishing plant foods as the foundation—while always leaving room for flexibility, balance, and personal choice. I believe healthy living should feel approachable, comforting, and doable, and I’m here to help you build habits that support long-term well-being, one cozy choice at a time.
