Bio ~ April Vetrano
Edge Health Solutions

I am a registered dietitian, I love food and being active outside!
I was born and raised in Medfield, Massachusetts and attended the University of Arizona for Undergrad where I met my husband. I completed my master's program and dietetic residency in Birmingham, Alabama and then moved back to Arizona to start my career as a dietitian.

Since then, I have been working as a clinical dietitian as well as running my own private practice where I provide individualized nutrition services to clients.

For my entire career I have worked as both a clinical dietitian in both hospitals and a long-term care facility. I enjoy working with patients and helping them get better so that they can go home and see their families.

As a clinical dietitian my primary role is determining whether or not a patient is malnourished. I also manage enteral nutrition (tube feedings), parenteral nutrition, vitamin and mineral prescription, therapeutic diets, nutritional supplements, nutrition education and much more.

For the majority of my career (sans about 6 months), I have worked to build my private practice Edge Health Solutions. It has been an incredible journey through which I have learned so much and truly enjoy. Seeing my private practice clients brings me joy every day

I am a registered dietitian with a strong passion for helping people reach their health goals. Through Edge Health Solutions I empower my clients to reach their health goals in a sustainable manner by helping them regain control, create sustainable change and develop a positive relationship with food. You won't find any crazy fad diets when working with me and you definitely won't find me asking you to eat a crazy low number of calories.

Nutrition is about being sustainable and developing health longevity. I not only want you to reach your health goals, but I want you to keep them. I help my clients rebuild their relationships with food, reduce stress and guilt around food and achieve their health goals.
