Elaine DiRico

Hi there!  My name is Elaine DiRico. I have a degree in psychology, I am a certified coach and a certified nutritionist.  I worked for the YMCA here in Austin for over twenty years, have owned a health food restaurant, and have written cookbooks.

I recently spent almost two years in a wheelchair, the result of a broken tendon and subsequent surgeries and rehab.  There is nothing as effective as complete inactivity to put on the weight as well as bringing your metabolism to a near stop!

I found Adam and MyBodyTutor a year ago. I certainly know a lot about nutrition and exercise, I wanted to make a change, but I just couldn't make it all work. MBT provides what I couldn't do alone: my tutor kept me motivated, accountable, consistent and honest...on a daily basis.

Now I have trained as a tutor with MBT.  I know exactly how difficult it can be to change habits, what it feels like to be ready to give up, and also what it feels like to work with these wonderful people towards a goal and win. I know the struggle of trying to regain fitness, I know the triumphs, and I know MBT gave me what I needed to make it happen. 

Look at the program, e-mail any questions you have and let's get busy making the life of your dreams a reality!

Why did I join My Body Tutor?

For most of my life, I have found myself in the ‘helping professions.'  I trained and practiced as a psychologist, a nutritionist, a massage therapist, and a life coach.  All of these were a piece of what I wanted to be doing. Then I found My Body Tutor, and subsequently a professional home!  I have spent my life studying nutrition, exercise and all of the things that make a good life great, and now have found a way to use those skills.

MyBodyTutor fills in the blanks for a healthy and fit lifestyle plan.  The support, occasional nudges and the accountability, along with extremely knowledgeable and talented Tutors can give you the help you need in achieving your goals.  It's the best and most fulfilling job I have ever had!
