About
Meet Dr. Romina Tollerutti, MD
Physician. Pediatrician. Obesity Medicine Specialist. Metabolic Health Practitioner.
I’m Dr. Romina Tollerutti, a physician board-certified in Pediatrics and Obesity Medicine with advanced training in metabolic health and therapeutic carbohydrate restriction. But my approach to care has also been shaped by something much more personal: my own experience trying to improve my weight, energy, and health.
For most of my life, I counted calories, tried to eat in moderation, and stayed active, but I often felt low on energy and hungry. Everything changed after my second pregnancy when complications forced me to restrict my activity, leading to unexpected weight gain. As I approached my 40s while caring for a baby and a toddler, my body stopped responding to my previous efforts. I felt foggy, exhausted, and emotionally drained.
It was during a Harvard Obesity Medicine conference that I was first introduced to low-carb and ketogenic nutrition. I’ll admit—I was skeptical at first. But I’ve always believed that true and lasting health begins with what we eat and how we live. Nutrition and lifestyle can be powerful parts of medical care, alongside medications and other treatments when appropriate. So, I decided to give it a try. At that point, I had nothing to lose—and everything to gain.
That decision changed everything for me.
With this new way of eating, I experienced increased energy, no post-meal crashes or cravings, better mental clarity, more stable moods, and deeper sleep—even with a baby waking me at night. I was able to be more physically active, think more clearly, and navigate my days with ease and confidence, which helped me make further lifestyle changes to feel even better.
Since then, I’ve spent nearly a decade deepening my expertise in therapeutic carbohydrate restriction and holistic lifestyle interventions—combining the science of medicine with the art of coaching to guide real, lasting change. Through this work, I help individuals and families reconnect with the truth that health begins from within. When we focus on restoring our metabolic health and nurturing our well-being with intention and self-compassion, we begin a powerful journey of healing, driven not by numbers on a scale but by how we feel, function, and flourish.
This is about more than weight. It’s about living with energy, clarity, confidence, and purpose—aging with strength; showing up fully for ourselves and our loved ones; and building a life that reflects true wellness from the inside out.
✨ If you’re ready to begin your transformation, I’d be honored to walk beside you.
Why I Created Holistic Metabolic Health
I created Holistic Metabolic Health because I wanted to offer the kind of care I believe is often missing: enough time to understand the whole picture, medical expertise to identify what may be affecting your metabolic health, and practical guidance that works in real life.
This is a supportive, judgment-free practice where weight is important—but it is never the whole story. We may look at body composition, metabolic health, nutrition, sleep, movement, stress, hunger and cravings, medications, family routines, and other factors that influence how you feel and function.
Here, we work together to:
The goal is not perfection. It is better health, one meaningful change at a time.
