Welcome! My name is Maira Murillo, and I am someone who, throughout my life, has struggled with trying to lose weight. However, a quick Google search for weight-loss advice gives you thousands of different options, many of them coming from people simply trying to make a quick buck.
As someone who knows how easy it is to fall into the cycle of yo-yo dieting, I wanted to better understand nutrition and the science behind it. This led me to enroll in Nutritional Sciences at UMASS Lowell. I am currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree and working toward a future career in dietetics.
I decided to create Facts Over Feelings because I want to share information based on nutrition science rather than trends, quick fixes, or misinformation. My perspective doesn’t come only from what I am learning academically, but also from someone who understands firsthand the mental and emotional struggles that can come with weight management.
My goal is to use both my education and personal experiences to help others develop a healthier, more realistic relationship with nutrition—without judgment and without another “quick fix.”
