Background

Sick of “healthy eating” feeling like a second job?

Tired of endless “bad food” lists, confusing nutrition rules, and guilt every time you enjoy dessert?

You’re not alone, and it is not your fault.

I help people lose stubborn weight, build lean muscle, prevent disease, and still enjoy the foods they love, whether they’re beginners, busy parents, or pro athletes.

My approach is science-backed, real-life tested, and free from unrealistic restrictions.

Here’s the truth…

You don’t need a joyless meal plan.

You don’t need to eat chicken and broccoli every day.

You don’t even need to love kale (I promise).

The secret to long-term wellness isn’t found in what you avoid… it’s in what you eat most often.

And when you get that right?

Your energy soars.

Your body composition changes- less fat, more muscle.

Your health markers improve.

And you can enjoy your favorite foods, guilt free.

Who am I to tell you this?

Since becoming a Registered Dietitian in 2009, I’ve helped hundreds of people:

Lose stubborn weight that nothing else touched.

Build lean muscle (without living in the gym).

Manage inflammation, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

Improve cognitive function and neuroplasticity (for my biohackers).

I was born in Loma Linda, California, one of five Blue Zones in the world where thriving past 100 is common, thanks to a lifestyle that holds surprising secrets for longevity.

I understand the science of healthspan. I want to help you not just live longer… but live better.

What's it like to work with me?

In our first session, we’ll get to know each other, make sure we’re aligned, and set clear, achievable objectives.

You’ll walk away with:

An action plan tailored to your goals and lifestyle.

Quick wins you can start right away.

No-BS strategies that work in the real world (not just on paper).

In follow-ups, we’ll celebrate wins, solve problems, and keep building momentum.

I’ll share stealth-health recipes, surprising food swaps, and ideas that make healthy living feel effortless, not overwhelming.

You’ll also have my full support and accountability between sessions.

Why people love working with me:

I keep it lighthearted and human, never cold or clinical.

I take your results seriously (even when we laugh along the way).

I respect your time and meet you where you’re at.

I make healthy living something you look forward to, not dread.

This is your life. Let’s make it count.

Whether you’re a complete beginner wanting to lose weight…

Or a seasoned health enthusiast ready to optimize performance and longevity…

We can build a path to lasting wellness that’s unpretentious, attainable, and sustainable.
