Nutritionists and Dietitians near Santa Paula, CA

Medical diagnoses are freightenting. Often, I have found my clients receive little education on ways to manage clinical conditions, such as chronic kidney disease and diabetes. With limited guidance, their condition progresses and can result in profound impacts on physical and mental health, and quality of life.

Many of my patients follow 'nutrition rules' that they have heard from friends, media, or even doctors and find themselves with guilt, shame, exhaustion, and ultimately a reversion to old habits with no lasting improvement to their health. I want to focus on shifting the conversation towards helping you achieve health-promoting behavior change that will stick around for the long term.

Are you looking for a more functional approach to your chronic and persistent health issues? If yes, then look no further! My name is Natt. I am a passionate functional and integrative dietitian. My approach to each patient is individualistic. Together, we will lay out a timeline of your medical history and environmental factors. Then, examine how they interplay with human physiology to manifest the symptoms of concern. We will work on 2-3 interventions at a time, really honing them into habits before building upon them. My goal as a practitioner is for you to be able to navigate your health independently and intuitively.
