Melissa Morimoto Pepper

I am a nutritionist with a Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and a Master’s degree in Rheumatology Sciences from Brazil, and I am currently completing my PhD in Rheumatology Sciences. My academic and research experience focuses on the relationship between nutrition and inflammation, particularly in psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and other rheumatic conditions. I am passionate about translating scientific evidence into practical, realistic nutrition strategies that help individuals and families build healthier eating habits. Through personalized education, meal-planning support, workshops, and cooking classes, I aim to make anti-inflammatory eating approachable, enjoyable, and sustainable.
