Natalie Olsson

Natalie Olsson was born in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1978, where she grew up surrounded by the fresh flavors of Scandinavian cuisine and a deep appreciation for natural, wholesome food. Inspired by her childhood in Sweden, with its emphasis on balanced nutrition and simple, flavorful meals, Natalie knew early on that her passion lay in the culinary arts. At 18, she made a bold decision to move to the United States, where she pursued advanced studies in nutrition and dietetics, determined to deepen her understanding of how food could transform health and enrich lives. In her career as a Board-Certified Nutritionist and Licensed Dietitian-Nutritionist, Natalie combined her Scandinavian roots with her knowledge of American dietary trends. She became a dedicated advocate for healthy, enjoyable eating, especially for those managing specific health conditions. Her cookbooks, such as Renal Diet Cookbook for Beginners, Fatty Liver Diet Cookbook, and The DASH Diet Cookbook for Beginners, are celebrated for their accessible approach, making nutritious eating achievable and enjoyable for everyone. Each book is crafted with the same intention: to help people feel empowered in the kitchen and make food that not only heals but also delights. Natalie’s work goes beyond simple recipes; she includes meal plans, essential tips, and even mindfulness guides, understanding that true health is a blend of physical and emotional well-being. Known for her warm, engaging writing style, Natalie encourages readers to see cooking as a joyful journey rather than a chore. Her books, which have touched readers worldwide, reflect her belief that small, sustainable changes can lead to big transformations. Now a sought-after body image coach as well, Natalie continues to inspire others to foster a healthy relationship with food and themselves. She lives with her family, where she enjoys cooking up new creations, testing recipes, and spending time outdoors, always carrying with her the Scandinavian spirit of balance, simplicity, and love for nature. Natalie’s passion is to help others discover the power of deliciously simple, nourishing meals that support a vibrant, fulfilling life.
