Ilana Muhlstein, MS, RDN, (@nutritionbabe with 2.7 million total followers) is a dietitian, nutritionist, bestselling author, mother of three, and a highly sought-after global health and wellness expert. Ilana’s rise to fame has been fueled by her relatable weight loss journey and sharp intellect.
At the age of thirteen, Ilana weighed over two hundred pounds and struggled with weight loss, emotional eating, and ineffective diets. This took a huge toll on her as doctors would make comments that translated to a really negative mindset. While she experiences these thoughts and emotions she knew she wanted to make a permanent change, and that it would only be possible if she put the work in. She also knew that she was not alone, and she wanted to be the support and inspiration others needed to make their own permanent changes.
Ilana discovered that the key to her weight loss was not a new diet, however, it was a new mindset that consisted of simple tweaks to her food environment, nutrition selection and emotional reactions. The knowledge she continued to gain molded her passion to become a dietitian, using everything she learned in her schooling to lose over 100 pounds, and maintain her weight loss for good.
Ilana’s mission is to show people that a healthy lifestyle is easier and much more attainable than they think. She loves to empower people through their journey, free them from their insecure past times, and take them into the next amazing chapter of their lives.
She has established a thriving private practice and amassed a huge online following devoted to inspiring her fans and clients to achieve their full health potential. Her community not only supports her, but also follows along with what she is doing in hopes to better themselves. On Ilana’s TikTok explaining her story, she received over 21 million views, with excess comments along the lines of “I definitely feel a lot safer learning from someone who had been in the same position” and “you are an inspiration.” Additionally, on each video Ilana posts, people obsess over her easy and healthy recipes and beg for more.
Ilana has developed a bestselling weight loss program called the 2B Mindset and is the author of the Wall Street Journal’s bestselling book, You Can Drop It, and her first cookbook, Love The Food That Loves You Back. Ilana has not only become a social media icon, but also the motivation and inspiration to people all over the world. We are so excited to watch her continued success and to be a part of her journey.
