Whole by Olivia Robie: Where Nutrition Meets Prevention
We are a nutrition education and culinary demonstration initiative dedicated to helping individuals and communities make informed, health-conscious food choices. Led by Olivia Robie, an MS, RDN candidate at Columbia University’s Teachers College, Whole by Olivia Robie focuses on the power of food in preventing chronic illnesses like cancer and cardiovascular disease. We aim to blend science-backed nutrition education with practical skills through interactive workshops and hands-on cooking demonstrations, making healthy living accessible and sustainable for all.
​
The inspiration behind Whole by Olivia Robie is deeply rooted in Olivia’s personal journey. Growing up in Newport Beach, CA, she struggled with chronic health issues, including a debilitating IBS diagnosis that left her searching for answers. It wasn’t until she explored the connection between food and her body and nature around her ( the beach) that she discovered the power of nutrition to heal and transform her well-being. Then, in 2019, Olivia’s world shifted again when her mother was diagnosed with stage 3B colon cancer. Witnessing how a plant-based, whole-food diet played a critical role in her mother’s recovery reinforced Olivia’s passion for nutrition and disease prevention leading her to Teachers College, Columbia University to study Nutrition and Public Health RDN Canidate after graduating from NYU. 
​
Whole by Olivia Robie was born from this journey—a mission-driven initiative designed to empower people with the knowledge and skills to take control of their health and prevent chronic illness. We believe that food is more than just sustenance—it is medicine, prevention, and a catalyst for long-term well-being. Our approach emphasizes plant-based eating, reducing toxic exposures, and embracing an active lifestyle to create a foundation for optimal health.
​
Through education, collaboration, and hands-on experiences, we are redefining how we approach food, health, and disease prevention. Whether you’re an individual, organization, farm, or club, we invite you to join us in making informed, nourishing choices that support a healthier future.

Let’s transform wellness—one whole meal at a time.
