Registered Dietitian

Plant Based prevention/treatment and sports nutrition.

My passion for plants began during my year of postgraduate service work at the Native American Health Center in Oakland, California. While there I saw an innumerable number of patients with chronic diseases and learned of and became inspired by the transformative power of food and lifestyle as medicine and the remarkable ability of the body to heal through the work of Dr. Dean Ornish, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, and Dr. Michael Greger. I believe in addressing the root causes of disease in medical practice and want to help shift the paradigm of our current disease-management system to one of health and preventive care.

Integrative Health

Traditional Internal Medicine with Lifestyle and Dietary Interventions.

Family physician in private practice, cash-based, but accept Medicare and insurance as “non-par”/out-of-network.

By partnering with patients, being fully present, attentive to their personal needs, and taking into account their unique lifestyle and life story, I strive to help my patients restore vitality naturally, and hence minimize, if not eliminate, dependence on prescription medications and need for costly and potentially risky invasive procedures. To achieve this end, I educated my patients about the benefits of plant-based nutrition and instruct them how to prepare nourishing and delicious plant-based meal in my office’s teaching kitchen.
