Meet Our Founder
Mariana Dineen
Founder & Registered dietitian
Born and raised in Monterrey, Mexico, Mariana grew up in a culture where food was more than nourishment — it was connection, tradition, and identity. That early foundation sparked a lifelong passion for understanding how culture shapes health.
​
After completing her degree in Nutrition and Dietetics at the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, Mariana moved to New York City, where she earned her Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition from New York University. During her residency at NYU Langone Health, she immersed herself in evidence-based clinical care, working closely with patients managing diabetes, heart disease, and complex health needs.
​
Today, Mariana lives in Chicago with her husband and three children, where she leads Elemento Health — a modern nutrition practice designed to meet people where they are. Elemento is rooted in her belief that health should be both accessible and aspirational: science-driven but never sterile, culturally grounded yet reimagined for today’s lifestyle.
​
Through Elemento Health, Mariana is building more than a practice, she’s creating a movement. One that blends Accessible Care, Culture at the Core, Science You Can Trust, and Holistic Balance, while always honoring Your Unique Path. Her vision is to make nutrition care feel at home in your life — deeply personal, culturally resonant, and designed for lasting well-being.
“Mariana Dineen, a registered dietitian has been focusing on nutritious, easy and healthy meals that can be prepared in 20 minutes or less."
"The Mediterranean diet is not only about the food," registered dietitian Mariana Dineen previously told Insider. Rather, she said, it also advocates for people to slow down, enjoy mealtimes, and connect with the food and the people you savor it with."
​“When it comes to antioxidants, supplements aren't the best way to go. "There is no evidence to support that antioxidant supplements can prevent chronic diseases," Dineen says.”
