I am a Registered Dietitian with a Master’s Degree in Nutritional Science. I’ve lived with PCOS for over 15 years, and I know personally how frustrating this condition can be and how it can affect your quality of life. Many people living with PCOS often feel broken and that their body has betrayed them. The good news is this condition can be managed and these symptoms minimized or eliminated entirely with diet and lifestyle changes. Are you ready to move away from anxiety at mistrust around your body and start to truly feel at home in your own skin?

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.

How can a Santa Cruz Nutritionist help me?
Dietitians and Nutritionists in Santa Cruz provide advice on good eating habits. They help you with your diet and how it affects your health. They assess nutrition needs and food patterns, plan a diet that's appropriate for your physical and dietary needs, and provide nutrition counseling, such as advice on dietary changes and menu plans. They advise on special diets for medical conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, food allergies, and obesity.

The word dietitian has a variant spelling 'dietician' (e.g. find a Santa Cruz dietician). Both spellings are correct.

About Santa Cruz Registered Dietitians
Registered Dietitians or Registered Dietitian Nutritionists in Santa Cruz complete a bachelor's degree at a school accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, as well as a period of supervised practice and an exam administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration. While certification is not required in all states for nutritional counseling or nutrition therapy, only individuals certified by their respective states may use the Certified Dietitian or Certified Nutritionist titles.

How to use my insurance?
Some Nutritionists and Santa Cruz dietary professionals accept health insurance. Check to see if your insurance is covered. Feel free to discuss this when you contact the Nutritionist or Dietitian.
