    Areas of Practice

    Nutrition support is provided in three categories:

    Routine Health: Improve your blood sugar, manage your weight, and get support for management of chronic diseases -- or, if you want, learn how to put symptoms of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and fatty liver into remission. I design Meal Plans for adolescents and adults, including prenatal nutrition and a healthy aging package, and provide specialized hormonal health services for PCOS, menopause, and hypothyroidism.

    Four-Step Clinical Roadmap: All Routine Health Packages follow a structured process: 1. Comprehensive Clinical Assessment to assess underlying health, 2. Custom Meal Plan design, 3. Nutrition Education, and 4. Professional Support for sustainable success.

Interesting Facts

In March 2017, I was at a crossroads with respect to my own health. It was more like a crisis. I lost 55 pounds and 12 inches off my waist, and put my high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes into remission. In August 2022, I was diagnosed with profound hypothyroidism and have since changed my lifestyle once again to best support my health. You could say that I understand weight loss and health recovery from both sides of the clinical desk.
