Nutrition Consultations

I often say that I help people obtain or maintain good health. In reality, most people who are already in great health understand what it takes to stay that way—so I rarely see those individuals. Instead, I work with people who want or need to improve their health and supporting them is truly meaningful work. You can read just a few of the many heartfelt testimonials from clients who are grateful for the changes they’ve experienced. I can’t imagine anything more rewarding.

The health issues I most often help with include metabolic syndrome—especially prediabetes and type-2 diabetes. I focus on improving blood sugar through food, beverages, and, when appropriate, targeted supplements, though I firmly believe that food is the most effective foundation for lasting health. Like many people, I take certain supplements myself to support areas where I tend to run low.

I’ve also supported women with breast cancer through my work with Sutter Health Breast Health Clinic, and have assisted individuals with multiple sclerosis during my time as Chief Innovation Officer for Foogal, where I collaborated with Dr. Terry Wahls from the University of Iowa to develop recipes based on her protocol. In addition, I’ve worked with clients managing heart disease and a wide variety of other health concerns. My thesis was on dietary fiber and preventing type-2 diabetes, so gut health is a focus of all protocols that I develop.

I excel at research and at taking complex, often confusing nutrition information and making it clear, practical, and accessible. My passion is using food as medicine in a way that feels simple, supportive, and doable.
Please remember that your body needs time to adjust and experience real benefits. 8-12 weeks is common.

There is time allocated with each session to work on your case behind the scenes, research the medical literature and scientific studies, if need be, and to collaborate with other professionals, if necessary. There is time needed before and after each session to prepare and research, so I can be completely informed and prepared.

I look forward to helping you improve your health and feel your best.
