Dietetics near Bakersfield, CA

Care Philosophy: I'm an extremely knowledgeable and caring obesity medicine physician. I have compassion for all my patients and advocate for preventative medicine. Patients can partner in their care and achieve their health priorities through effective education.

Care Philosophy: I manage diabetes, obesity, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pituitary, lipids, bone, calcium, and Reproductive disorders. My clinical areas of interest are thyroid cancer, endocrine hypertension, plant-based nutrition, and diabetes technologies (Insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors). I believe that each patient is unique. Endocrine and diabetes care are definitely not 'one size fits all,' I think it is important to get to know the patient and their lifestyle to create a treatment plan that will work for them. As Sushruta, an ancient Indian Physician, said, "The greatest medicine of all is to teach people how not to need it," My focus is on lifestyle changes to prevent, treat and potentially reverse chronic Endocrine conditions in their early stages.

Care Philosophy: "After being a registered dietitian for over a decade the most rewarding aspect of my work is seeing my clients thrive in their health and wholeness. I prioritize creating a warm and inviting atmosphere while remaining aligned with core nutritional values. My focus is working WITH my clients, and together, we set personalized, achievable goals for effective and sustainable results. I believe in a balanced approach to nutritional wellbeing and that your success is my success!"

Biography: As a registered dietitian and diabetes educator, I firmly believe that education plays a vital role in facilitating significant lifestyle changes and preventing chronic diseases. I prioritize gaining insight into each patient's individual needs and cultural background, aiming to empower them to make informed decisions regarding their health and well-being.

Care Philosophy: "The nutrition approach I utilize as a health is patient centered. This includes but is not limited to identifying as many elements as possible of patient care capable of affecting nutritional status outcomes in order to provide the best nutritional care in a practical, efficient, timely and effective manner regardless of the setting. As an experienced registered dietitian-nutritionist, I utilize Nutrition and Diagnosis-Related Care."
