My nutrition philosophy is that all foods fit into a healthy lifestyle with the goal of finding wellness, balance and joy in all foods. Using evidenced based principles, it is my goal to teach and empower individuals how to eat to prevent disease and enhance performance and quality of life. I aim to work as a team with each individual to create the best nutrition plan that works for that individual.

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. I have a unique perspective as a registered dietitian: There are a limited number of male dietitians, I am a husband, a father, and significant life experience that allows me to truly understand client’s situations, and provide wholistic, realistic, and sustainable changes that can improve not only their physical health, but their mental and emotional health as well.

Part of my work as a consultant at Love Yourself Nutrition and as a Registered Dietitian is to provide a comprehensive set of services to help boost clients' confidence and offer support as they navigate their health and wellness challenges. I especially enjoy working with people on their weight loss goals. Weight loss is a very personal experience and there are so many recommendations out there on the "best way" to do it. I believe the relationship we have with food is extremely important when we are on a weight loss journey and that the psychology behind it has to be at the forefront of this journey.

I am Board Certified in Integrative and functional Medicine. That means that I work with clients to find the root causes of their symptoms in a holistic way. We are learning that maintaining our gut health is the root of treating many diseases including autoimmune, inflammatory, skin, obesity, cancer, allergies, and more. I work with clients to figure out why they are struggling with a condition and treat it using food as medicine, identifying food sensitivities, providing nutrients to maximize the body's functioning, and if needed, I do cooking sessions to teach how to make healthy food taste great.
