Although I am a “dietitian,” I disagree with “dieting,” especially for weight loss. It leaves us feeling deprived which always backfires in the long run. When we meet, I ask a lot of questions about your health history, medications, food and lifestyle habits, blood work and more. This helps me to help you decide which areas you want to focus on to start. In follow-up sessions we build on this. We will work together to develop a realistic food and lifestyle plan designed for you!

Struggling with eating healthfully, weight loss or managing your blood sugar? Do you believe food is making you sick but unsure of which food?

Let me empower you with the knowledge/science and tools to more effectively lose weight, control your diabetes, restore your health and regain your life!
