Nutritionists and Dietitians near Alameda, CA

Are you in search of holistic guidance, clarity, and support, ready to make a change, but feeling overwhelmed and discouraged from basic wellness dogma? I hear you. I am Holistic Nutritionist, Food Behavior Counselor, and Health Coach. As your personal health advocate, we will prioritize healing the root cause of any stress, depletion, and imbalance to formulate a sustainable plan of care. My clients seek support to heal their relationship with food and body image, reconnect with their body's natural cues, gain energy, tend to a chronic autoimmune or digestive condition, support mental health, and balance hormones.

Our bodies are our first homes. And yet, the struggle to belong in our skin and bones is widespread. From an early age, we are taught to mistrust our bodies; tune out its sensations and longings. We exile the parts of us that society deems unsavory to the point where the pain, grief, and loneliness of not belonging feel like our only option. You are here because you know you deserve to belong in your body. I am here to witness your journey toward building a loving and embodied relationship with yourself and the world around you.

I am a UC Davis graduate and have been a registered dietitian for over 5 years with experience working with clients struggling with IBS, Crohns, Ulcerative Colitis, gastric cancers, and general digestive issues. Whether you have a diagnosis or are just struggling with any gut symptoms, I am here to give you 1:1 counseling to help you regain confidence around food and improve your quality of life.

Diagnosed with PCOS? Struggling with digestive issues, period problems, thyroid problems, or fertility challenges? Experiencing symptoms of fatigue, low energy, bloating, acne, and/ or hair loss? If you’re finding it difficult to get answers from your doctor, or if you were simply told "your labs look normal", and are tired of the trial-and-error approach, wasting time and money on random supplements and treatments, know that there's a better solution. You deserve to have the tools to learn how to manage your health issues, heal your body, and feel like yourself while living a life you love to its fullest potential.

Over the years, I developed a protocol for painlessly breaking unhealthy habits-eating too much sugar, late night eating, endless snacking, body bashing-with healthy habits, like craving vegetables, making better food choices, and honoring, respecting, and loving your body. I regard both nutrition and emotional health as the core of healthcare and focuses on nutritional and botanical interventions to support chronic, degenerative and auto-immune diseases, patients with cancer, energy and brain health challenges, food intolerances, chronic infections, as well as general disease risk prevention and optimal wellness.

Hi, I'm Brenna! I work with adolescents, teens and adults who are struggling with disordered eating, recovery from chronic dieting, binge-restrict cycles, body image concerns and wanting to be able to pursue health without obsession. It's common to be interested in or passionate about food, health, wellness exercise - but when those interests become inflexible, or don't allow for you to spend time and feel present doing other things that are important to you, it can be a sign to reach out.

We eat at least 3-4 times a day or 21-28 times a week. Eating is an activity we have been engaging in since we were born. We used to know when we were hungry and when we were full. When this energy giving and life sustaining act becomes a source of confusion, guilt and fear, when eating becomes disordered and turns into a dangerous coping mechanism, it is time to evaluate what we are doing and explore how we can normalize our behavior so our minds and body can function in a healthy way to support our goals.

I have dedicated myself to help female endurance athletes ages 15-38 find natural ways to improve their performance, energy and stamina to reach their athletic potential. Some have struggled with disordered eating patterns, several trips to the doctors without answers, low energy, hormonal issues, frequent illness, gut issues such as bloating, IBS attributed to potential food sensitivities and feeling completely overwhelmed and frustrated about the right nutritional plan for their individual needs. I get down to the root causes through alternative testing, lifestyle changes, and meal planning.

Do you want to feel good, perform at your best, and develop healthier habits to prevent chronic diseases, slow aging, & continue participating in activities you love? Do you want to improve athletic performance, learn how to fuel for specific physical activities, & feel good during & after exercise? Would you like to learn more about how to implement lifestyle modifications to address chronic diseases? Are you tired of not feeling your best or not seeing the results you want? I offer comprehensive, individualized nutrition and wellness services to help you feel & perform your best & reduce your risk of chronic conditions.

A mom of two amazing young men, a lifelong equestrian, a rock -n- roll drummer and a farmer -sheep, chickens and horses. I have explored life on many levels including my formal education at Michigan State University where I received a BS in Animal Science and another in Human Nutrition/Dietetics.

I connect deeply with my clients so that they are able to live the healthy lives they seek. It is truly my mission.

I work with motivated and curious individuals looking to dive deep and investigate the root causes of digestive issues, acne and other skin problems, poor sleep, adrenal/sex/circadian hormone imbalances and blood sugar dysfunction.

Wholistic, realistic, and sustainable. These three words are at the core of how I live, why I became a registered dietitian, and how I engage with my clients.
