Meet Ilay Polat, MS
Your Integrative Health & Nutrition Coach

Hi, I’m Ilay, and I believe that true wellness goes beyond what’s on your plate. I help high-achievers, busy professionals, and individuals struggling with stress, emotional eating, and weight challenges build a sustainable, balanced lifestyle that nurtures both the body and mind.

​

My journey started in the field of clinical nutrition, but I realized that nutrition alone is not enough. True transformation happens when we address the root causes, our habits, mindset, and relationship with food. That’s why I combine science-based nutrition strategies with behavior change coaching to help my clients achieve lasting results.

Science Meets Soul

My coaching is not about strict meal plans or willpower—it’s about understanding your body, rewiring your mindset, and creating habits that feel effortless.

​

I use a holistic, evidence-based approach that combines:

​

✔ Functional & Integrative Nutrition, Personalized nutrition for your body’s needs

✔Addressing emotional eating & self-sabotage patterns

✔ Mindfulness & Stress Resilience, Building confidence & self-awareness

​

This means we don’t just focus on what to eat, but also why you eat the way you do, how to break free from diet culture, and how to create a healthy relationship with food and yourself.
