About
Helping You Live
Longer and Better
Through Food
As Seen On
I’m Liz Weiss, MS, RDN, a registered dietitian, cookbook author, and media dietitian with more than four decades of experience translating nutrition science into everyday meals that help people eat well, age well, and feel their best—one recipe at a time.
I hold a master’s degree in Nutrition Communications from Boston University and a culinary arts diploma from the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts, training that has shaped my lifelong passion for connecting good food with good health.
My career began at CNN, where I produced and reported for the network’s On the Menu program, followed by several years at PBS’s HealthWeek. Later, I co-founded Meal Makeover Moms, one of the first online nutrition platforms dedicated to helping busy families eat better. For over a decade, I reached millions through cookbooks, podcasts, and national media appearances, establishing me as an early leader in online nutrition communication.
I launched Liz’s Healthy Table in 2017 to serve a new generation of followers—those navigating midlife with a focus on longevity, brain health, and balanced eating. My most recent cookbook, The GLP-1 Kitchen, helps people using GLP-1 medications (and anyone focused on healthy weight management) create satisfying meals rich in protein, fiber, hydration, and flavor.
I contribute to Today’s Dietitian magazine, have appeared on national TV shows, including the Today Show, and in 2015 received the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics’ Media Excellence Award for my pioneering contributions to nutrition communication.
Through my books, speaking engagements, and social platforms, I aim to make healthy living doable, realistic, and inspiring. Whether I’m talking about the MIND diet for brain health, GLP-1-friendly meals for balanced weight management, or simply how to eat more plants, seafood, and beans, my goal is to help you live your longest, most vibrant life.
Longevity isn’t about chasing the latest trend or eating perfectly—it’s about nourishment, consistency, and connection. What we cook, how we eat, and who we share our meals with shape our health and vitality for years to come.
My approach is inspired by the MIND diet, which combines the best of the Mediterranean and DASH eating patterns. It’s a way of eating that supports brain health and overall vitality, because what’s good for the brain is also good for the body.
At the heart of my recipes, you’ll find colorful fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, beans, soy foods, seafood, and dairy. These everyday foods fuel focus and energy, support a healthy gut and heart, and form the foundation of a longevity-minded lifestyle.
Beyond the Kitchen
In my down time, you’ll find me practicing yoga, taking long walks, or immersed in a good book. I live in New England, where my family and I cherish summers on Nantucket.
I’m the proud mom of two grown sons who love their vegetables—one cooks, while the other (a finance guy) never quite picked up a chef’s knife … or the cooking habit.
Every day, I’m reminded that longevity isn’t an abstract idea—it’s a doable daily practice rooted in how we eat and how we live.
