I am a functional medicine dietitian, and in functional medicine we get to the root cause of the problem as oppose to just treating symptoms. My area of expertise is helping adults get more energy, normalized digestion, improve mental clarity, enjoy clear skin, get better sleep, lower blood sugar level, overcome anxiety & depression, and lose unwanted weight.
I do so by focusing on reducing burden on the body, removing triggers, healing the gut, optimizing detox and creating long-term sustainable changes. I create a solid treatment plan that will give you back the quality of life you deserve so you can start feeling like your healthy self again. (I do offer the option to run functional tests (such as food sensitivities) to make it completely customized to your own biochemistry)
As a unique blend of a professionally trained chef and a registered dietitian nutritionist I truly believe that food is medicine. I also believe the body has the capacity to heal itself if given the right tools and the underlying causes of disease are addressed
My love for cooking, good food and teaching nutrition started at already at tender age. My passion for food and helping people of diverse cultures inspired me to study Anthropology before earning all my other degrees and certifications. Each one played a part in expanding my ability to better serve and meet your needs.
Because food is my passion I take every opportunity to research new recipes and cuisines designed to boost your health, immune system and quality of life.
I take pride in understanding human nature, and connecting with my clients empathetically. I care about you and have a genuine interest in your health challenges. I start by listening to you, grasping your needs and providing proven strategies for revitalizing your health and wellbeing. My customized nutritional solutions are based on evaluating all aspects of your life, including your eating habits, sleep patterns, nature of work and your environment.
