Regardless of the medical condition or health goal that brings a patient to me, I work with each patient to shift their mindset away from "dieting" and "deprivation" to one that focuses on nourishment and intuitive eating principles. While my mantra is "food as medicine", food is so much more! Food is culture and connection. It's emotional and political and the list goes on. That's why many fad diets fail to provide people with long term, sustainable outcomes. They are not designed to address our individual biochemistry, dietary preferences, health history, cultural backgrounds, and other factors that make our needs unique. Instead, I incorporate therapeutic interventions that empower people to take on one change at a time through personalized nutrition plans.
