I’m a professional, licensed Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist, and Certified Specialist in Renal Nutrition. Please visit my website www.ambinourish.com, or contact me for more information.
Over 24 years of experience in clinical nutrition gives me a depth of knowledge to share with you. Particularly if you are concerned with weight, diabetes, digestive/bowel and kidney diseases. Maybe you are confused by all the ‘chatter’ out there. My approach is to always start with the ‘science’. And the science supports Plant-Based Nutrition as our best defense in this challenging world.
After reading ‘The China Study’ by T. Colin Campbell, I completed the eCornell University Plant Based Nutrition course in 2013. Following that our team of Educators, Dietitians and Doctors at Kaiser Permanente Northern California East Bay Region developed the curriculum for Plant-Based Nutrition classes.Languages:- English

* Short Bio and Profile Information
Your First and Last Name: Ruben J Guzman, MPH, LMPAbout Me – For optimal listing appearance, please limit this info to one or two paragraphs.:When I graduated from UCLA with my Master’s in Public Health in 1988, I had a very important decision to make. Do I, or do I not return to UC Davis School of Medicine to complete my training to become a physician? (I had spent 3 years at UC Davis) I realized that I was passionately committed to promoting health and preventing disease, and that I was no longer interested in treating disease. I made a bold decision to pursue studying Lifestyle Medicine on my own and went into healthcare administration and eventually consulting. But along the way, I was busy conducting my own research, delivering seminars and even wrote a book on health called Evolving Health, endorsed by Dr. Neal Barnard. In 2016, I attended the Plant-based Nutrition Healthcare Conference and learned about the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. I was so thrilled! In October 2017, I attended my first Lifestyle Medicine Conference and was delighted to have found my tribe. They announced the board certification for physicians and for professionals. I was in! In October 2018, I attended my second Lifestyle Medicine Conference and passed my board exam! I am so proud to officially be a Lifestyle Medicine Professional! For the longest time, I have believed that a whole food, plant-based diet is fundamental to empowering people to prevent, reverse and treat chronic disease. I have had the good fortune to have helped hundreds to do just that.Â

Your First and Last Name: Kathi Whitson, RNAbout Me – For optimal listing appearance, please limit this info to one or two paragraphs.:My story is a personal one. I am 62 years old, and have had my cholesterol checked annually since 2007. At that time, my TC was 300, LDL 170. My MD said “take Crestor, eat less fat, exercise more, you’ll be ok. I had no risk factors other than parents who had stroke, heart attacks and diabetes. Ive never smoked, systolic BP averaged 110, BMI 21. Three years ago, at the insistence of our son (a firefighter) my husband and I read China Study on a road trip to Las Vegas…and we never turned back! It literally changed our lives. I changed MD’s, she advised me to read “some of Dean Ornish’ stuff” so I read “Spectrum”, then “Reversing Heart Disease”, then Esselstyn’s book. Today I am off Crestor, TC 185 and dropping, LDL 107 and I’m exercising 3-4 hours per week. I’ve thrown out all my old cookbooks and have a delightful new cookbook library. I am back to my high school weight (120 to 104) I feel better than I ever have… And honestly, I know I was headed toward a heart attack or stroke!

Over 24 years of experience in clinical nutrition gives me a depth of knowledge to share with you. Particularly if you are concerned with weight, diabetes, digestive/bowel and kidney diseases. You might only have some concerns about lab test results, or nutrition supplements. Maybe you are confused by all the ‘chatter’ out there. My approach is to always start with the ‘science’.  My work experiences reflect my strong knowledge base. From hospital settings providing nutrition recommendations in acute, chronic, and critical care situations; to outpatient clinics providing diabetes, kidney disease, cancer, and weight management counseling. After moving to California in 1980, I developed an interest in competitive cycling and eating. The eating morphed into a career in restaurant and food production. Eventually it led me to return to college to study nutrition and dietetics. It is important to understand what happens after we eat foods. And, why cultures consume certain foods. Plant-based nutrition has always been a great interest. As my knowledge in nutrition has grown, my beliefs about the importance of a plant-based diet has been, and continues to be, reaffirmed. At this time of my career, I am priveledged to be able to help my patients understand their nutrition. And, how a more plant-based diet might help them and the planet. As a chef, it is great to be able to help them execute a delicious and satisfying plant-based meal.

I am more excited now then ever to see the changes in the medical community move from treating symptoms to focusing on preventive care. I followed my passion for nutrition and became a registered dietitian. I chose to specialize in diabetes education because, being a self management condition, I feel there is a great opportunity for preventive health care. My goal is to help others achieve optimal health and wellness through healthy diet and exercise. Thank you for creating this plant-based registry, I’m proud and excited to be a part of this very important movement.
