About Ashley

Hi! I’m Ashley, the founder of Ashley Reaver Nutrition LLC and My Weekly Eats, a health and wellness blog and social media brand that focuses on easy, make ahead recipes and meal plans. I am a registered dietitian nutritionist and sports dietitian living in Oakland, CA. I started my blog in 2016 as a way to share recipes and meal plans in order to inspire people to get cooking in their own kitchens! I truly believe that cooking is a lost art and that it is inextricably tied to our health. Creating a relationship with the food you eat through cooking encourages healthier habits.

In 2017, I left my full-time position to pursue my private practice in nutrition counseling full-time. In that time, I have developed countless meal plans and recipes to take the stress and guesswork out of eating healthy. I love working with people of all ages ranging from busy young professionals to busy moms and accomplished triathletes.

Growing up, my mom firmly instilled in me the importance of family meals and inspired my love of food. I fortunately found dietetics as a career while in my freshman year of college at Cornell University. My first nutrition class was all it took to change my career ambitions from pediatrician to registered dietitian. I was beyond excited to know I could get paid to talk about food all day. After college, I completed my dietetic internship at California Polytechnic Institute, Pomona.

I moved to Boston shortly after with my then boyfriend, now husband, Eric. While in Boston, I gained experience in outpatient weight management, in-patient food service, personalized nutrition, and e-commerce health analytics. I also earned my Masters of Science in Nutrition Science and Policy from Tufts University. 

After 7 years in Boston, Eric and I got married in Italy and moved to sunny Oakland, CA! I’ve also moved my private practice here while maintaining my online clients in Boston and elsewhere. I hope you are inspired to get cooking in your own kitchen. If you need some direction or inspiration, let’s work together!

Thanks for following along.
