Get to know Nikita Kapur

I’ve always been fascinated by the interconnectedness of food, culture, nutrition, and chronic disease. I love working with people from diverse backgrounds and communities and helping them navigate diet and lifestyle changes that may often feel challenging to adapt. We live in a time where we are constantly inundated with advice when it comes to food and nutrition and despite the amount of information available to us, we are often left feeling overwhelmed and confused.

After working with many clients in the last 13 years, I strongly believe that nutrition is very nuanced and personalized. Food is social, cultural, emotional and pleasurable and should not lead to more stress, shame and guilt, which can be counterproductive and harmful to one’s overall well-being. My ultimate goal is to help you get back to basics and provide you with effective yet practical solutions that will help you meet your specific nutrition needs. In our coaching sessions, you can expect compassionate, non-judgmental guidance with respect to your health concerns, lived experiences, nutrition history, and personal life circumstances.

The Heart behind the practice

After living and working as a Registered Dietitian in New York City for over 9 years, I moved to Boston during the pandemic and continue to provide virtual nutrition care. I founded Nikita Kapur Nutrition with the very purpose to empower you with the tools and support you need to eat with confidence. I am a big foodie! To me food is more than just nutrition; it is joy, connection, satisfaction and a lens through which we can explore different cultures and their unique traditions.

Like many, I am also a busy parent often humbled by the challenges of balancing work and life. When I’m not working, I enjoy discovering local coffee shops with my husband Sid and experimenting in the kitchen alongside my little sous chef, our 3-year-old daughter Aaria. I’m also very interested in home design and styling and am often on the hunt for decorative souvenirs to add to our home.

What my clients are saying

"Nikita Kapur was my first experience with a nutritionist and she has set the bar very high! Right from our first meeting to all the sessions after, she prioritized my goals and lifestyle and offered advice that worked within it. Having grown up in India, it was important for me to keep my culture alive through food while still leading a healthy lifestyle. Dr Kapur never asked me to not eat any of my Indian foods - instead she offered ideas on how I could stay full and still eat the indulgent foods. It was a mindset shift which seems so much more sustainable! She was kind and very understanding when I wasn't able to stick to a plan we aligned to and helped me adjust it to suit unexpected life events. Overall, Dr. Kapur is extremely knowledgeable and also knows how to work with individual needs. Her non-judgmental style makes her seem more like an accountability partner who wants to help, which makes the experience enjoyable and something I looked forward to!"

"Choosing a Nutritionist that aligns with your values is a tough task. I was referred to Nikita by a close friend, so I was hopeful for a positive experience. It has been 9 months since I started working with her and she has by far surpassed any expectation I had for a nutritionist. She changed my life! She has helped me heal, grow, and gain control of my relationship with my body and food. She is a breath of fresh air amongst all the distractions via social media, television, and society's unrealistic expectations. One review isn't enough to show my gratitude for the support Nikita has provided for me. She listens judgement free and helps dig deep into all that surrounds our relationship with ourselves. Would recommend her to anyone and everyone I possibly could!"

"Nikita has been very, very helpful. She understood my issues, helped me to understand how they were related to each other, and provided me with specific recommendations for adjusting my diet that made sense for me. My consultations with her have been a valuable part of my journey, and I credit almost all of my progress to her recommendations. Thank you!!"
