Jane Guo, RDN, LD is a registered dietitian and owner of Habits Nutrition Counseling. She helps clients navigate weight loss, bariatric surgery, and GLP-1 medications with an evidence-based, compassionate approach. She believes sustainable health changes aren’t about quick fixes, but about building habits that last. Throughout her practice, she’s seen how technology can enhance the way dietitians deliver care, which led to her second passion: helping dietitians integrate AI and smart systems into their work. She teaches dietitians how to use technology responsibly to streamline workflows, improve client education, and reduce burnout. At the core of both roles is a commitment to making nutrition care more effective, accessible, and impactful—whether by guiding clients toward better health or empowering dietitians to work smarter.
