It’s nice to meet you on our journey to clean eating and a healthier lifestyle.
My health journey started over a decade ago, after the birth of my first son. At that time, I was constantly suffering from headaches, fatigue, migraines, lack of energy, chronic anemia, and a general feeling that I wasn’t in my best health. At that time, a friend of mine introduced me to a whole-food, plant-based diet.
Feeling desperate from having too much coffee and supplements but never really feeling energized, both my husband and I decided to give his recommendations a try. After three weeks, we started to feel better and much more energized. We even lost some weight in the process. I became much more focused and could maintain better concentration throughout my Engineering undergraduate studies.
This positive experience led us to decide to stick to this diet, which we are still practicing today. I consider this one of the best life decisions I have ever made. Feeling the effects in my body, I became an advocate for healthy nutrition. My biology background, and my service in the army as  a medic, means I am comfortable digging into the details and learning more about these topics.  For over a decade now, I eagerly study and expand my knowledge about healthy nutrition, and earned Master of Science in Nutrition (MScN) at National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM).
These days I’m offering nutrition counseling, classes, coaching, and recipes to promote healthier diet and lifestyle at my Just Eat Well practice. In addition, as a faculty adjunct member at NUNM, I’m teaching an immersive course about the Mediterranean Diet and the Israeli Culinary Culture.
TAKING THE NEXT STEP
I know first-hand how hard and challenging a lifestyle and diet transition can be—socially, emotionally— and most of all discovering out what works best for you and what does not. It takes a lot of practice, time, knowledge and support! After working with many patients from all walks of life, I understand everyone who goes through the transition into a healthier lifestyle and may need to give up their favorite foods. I’ve been there, and I know exactly how it feels craving for something you are unable to eat. Of course, these aren’t the only struggles. But that’s why I’m here to support you with each challenge that you may face.
As a nutritionist, I acknowledge that each and every one of us is unique—and so are our nutritional needs. For this reason, I tailor and coach each meal program individually for my clients in order to meet their dietary needs and goal. In addition, I am a supportive, consistent accountability partner for you! This is a unique and an essential part of my services.
I regularly provide the support network you’ll need and encourage you to contact me for solutions and answers outside of our scheduled appointments, so please reach out for more information!
I look forward to be part of your health journey!
