About

Oceanside Nutrition was founded in 2016 by Matt Priven, MS RDN. After working in a hospital as a clinical dietitian, Matt saw a need for down-to-earth, understandable nutrition guidance. However, providing this guidance outside of the hospital presented some challenges…people didn’t just have a lack of information, they were overloaded with incorrect, often harmful information about how they “should” and “shouldn’t” be eating; suffering under the pressures of diet culture and internalized body and weight stigmas. Oceanside Nutrition is committed to helping clients build truly healthy and peaceful relationships with food. Since the early days, the practice has been focused on this mission and has supported thousands of clients along the way. 

If you need a nutrition professional on your team, contact Oceanside Nutrition today to set up an initial consultation.
