Hi! I'm Alona. I began my nutrition career as a research dietitian at the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition, conducting nutrition research and working on dozens of nutrition-based studies. My true love has always been one-on-one counseling so since 2008 I have focused more on clinical nutrition, working with patients in medical out-patient clinics. I have also been the Bariatric dietitian for many Bariatric surgeons and outpatient clinics since 2011. I have helped hundreds of patients with weight loss, weight maintenance and those who needed help gaining weight too! Over the years I have come up with my own nutrition education material that has helped hundreds of my patients easily lose or gain weight, or get healthy. My proprietary meal-prep solution guide provides basic support for all my patients to help them with quick and easy meal-prep for the week that doesn’t require difficult recipes or any cooking experience. I use it too for myself and my family. Raising a baby and two young children, I know how challenging it can be to have meals ready for the week. Even when each family member has specific taste preferences (picky eaters!), I truly believe nutrition can heal, reverse and prevent certain health conditions.
My goal is to educate and inform people on their right to know everything they deserve to know about how nutrition can heal. Nearly every disease state has a chance to slow down its progression, reverse its direction or even prevent it from starting in the first place, even if we may have a genetic predisposition. I assist and support many patients battling health ailments with the help of nutrition. Your personal nutrition journey is not only knowing WHAT to eat but HOW and WHEN to eat. My patients constantly tell me that they wish they knew the things I teach them when they were younger or when they started their health journey (even when I treat physicians or others with health backgrounds). I hear clients tell me all the time, “What you’re saying makes so much sense! I wonder why I never knew this before?” Well, you don’t have to know, it’s my job to tell you! It would be my pleasure to guide you and work with you to achieve your optimal health and nutritional goals.
