Nutrition Philosophy

My nutrition philosophy is based on the premise that food is not just for our physical needs: it also has mental, cultural, behavioral, and social ties.  My aim is to help you reach your goals– whether you are focused on improving your lab work, preventing disease, enhancing athletic performance, or creating sustainable patterns for a long, healthy life. Improving one’s relationship with food is key to finding sustainable routines. In my nutrition counseling, I take an individualized and balanced approach, focusing on nourishing the body and creating sustainable habits. 

My approach is not a one-size-fits-all program. I understand that clients will have different taste preferences, work schedules, sleep schedules, stress levels, environmental concerns, medical conditions and cultural traditions. It is important to consider all of these factors. As a dietitian, I am focused on addition rather than restriction. I am a “food first” dietitian, meaning I want to increase your nutrient density by adding the necessary nutrients for overall health. My role as your Registered Dietitian is to provide evidence-based nutrition guidance and supply the tools to promote a healthy lifestyle. I will teach you how to find balance with food and incorporate moderation. I take a whole-person approach, analyzing one’s daily movement, stress levels, sleep cycle, work/life balance, medical history, family history, and eating patterns.  

My focus is on creating sustainable changes that you can easily adopt which will help support a long, healthy life.
