Health Professionals in West Newton, MA
Your doctor told you your numbers are high. Maybe you've already tried changing your diet. Maybe you don't know where to start. Either way, that's exactly who I work with.
Most people know something about eating "healthy," but are still missing the specific dietary patterns that drive high cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood sugar. A general healthy diet isn't the same as a targeted one. Small, precise changes, and sometimes counterintuitive ones, move numbers more than overly restrictive approaches.

I’m a Registered Dietitian who does not believe in diets. I do believe that it’s equally important for nutrition advice to be both evidenced-based and personalized. I think we should enjoy food and celebrate its role in our traditions and cultures. And I know that food has incredible power to help us live healthier lives, prevent or manage chronic disease, and achieve big health and wellness goals.
