Nutritionists and Dietitians in California

Do you want to find peace with food and your body? Do you want to break the cycle of disordered eating and stop letting diet culture have control, but don’t know where to start? Or maybe you’re looking for help with diabetes management, but still searching for care that’s weight-inclusive, supportive and sustainable. My approach is trauma-informed, weight-inclusive, and culturally responsive. I specialize in eating disorders, disordered eating, and diabetes management as a CDCES. Together, we'll work to help you feel empowered and confident in your relationship with food, and with time, trust your body.

Navigating the path to better nutrition and well-being can be challenging, but you don't have to go it alone. Using doctorate-level education rooted in evidence-based science, I'm here to support you with a personalized nutrition plan that not only tastes great, but also nourishes your body. We'll take a holistic approach to your health, considering all aspects of your life. If you're curious about lab tests, supplements, or assessments, we can explore those options together.

I am a Registered Dietitian with expertise and experience treating digestive, inflammatory and metabolic conditions: IBS, IBD, SIBO, constipation, diarrhea, urgency, bloating, GERD/acid reflux, Celiac, fatty liver/liver disease, gallbladder removal, post-bariatric, diabetes type 2, insulin resistance, PCOS, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and menopause/perimenopause.

Have you been diagnosed with (pre)-diabetes? Can't lose weight? Are you struggling with digestive issues, low libido, male function problems, cholesterol, hypertension, lipedema, or cognitive function? Or do you just want to optimize your health but need help knowing where to start? I strive to identify the root cause of my patient's health concerns and develop data-centric, evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle recommendations that address their individual needs, not just fix the symptoms. I can help you reach your health goals with a Personalized and Sustainable plan that fits your goals and concerns.

No, you don't need drugs to improve your blood sugar, lose weight, or deal with PCOS. Yes, medications might seem convenient; however, this road goes nowhere. With time, your drug quantity will increase because these drugs can’t treat the causes of your problems. Based on the latest research, effective treatment of diabetes and PCOS can be achieved by working with gut microbiome. I use gut microbiome in my practice not only to lower insulin resistance and lower blood glucose but also for weight loss, getting regular periods, and improving the ability to conceive for girls with PCOS.
