Meet Jay I am a speaker and nutritionist. I was an Education Specialist with two hospitals in Ventura County. I have a Health Science background as well as special certifications to teach DEEP (Diabetes Empowerment Education Program) and CDSMP (Chronic Disease Self Management Program), now Healthier Living. I volunteer with Ventura County Public Health where I have assisted with events, screenings, and taught nutrition education for after school programs. I work with local and international health care professionals to bring health empowerment to as many people as we can. Health is my passion. I am regularly dismayed by the powerlessness I feel from people with respect to their health. We are told over and over things like genetics, chronic diseases, and decline due to aging are all inevitable and unavoidable. Yes, we do get older, but things that are typically seen as an inevitable part of aging, like high blood pressure, may be prevented or even reversed by making healthier choices. One day several years ago I went to my doctor with an unrelated issue and discovered that I had stroke level blood pressure. I was 35. The worst part was that I thought I ate pretty healthy. I hear that all the time. “I eat pretty healthy.” Those exact words. Well, when I started to do proper research. When I finally tuned out all of the latest “information” in the media, that is when I discovered the truth.  Let me help you eat your way to your best YOU!

I am a registered Dietitian & Nutritionist who specializes in plant-based nutrition and vegan lifestyles. My journey into plant-based nutrition began shortly after having my first child. I now have three healthy plant-based children and my passion is helping you to succeed on your own journey towards a plant-based diet. After my five years of study at university, I was confused about some of the foods I was recommending to my patients so I began researching about animal products. I was stunned by what I found. After years of furthering education in the field of plant-based nutrition, I am 100% confident that whole foods plant-based eating is the optimal way to eat for disease prevention, treatment and for general health and well-being. I look forward to helping you on your journey towards a healthier future.
