I am a licensed and nationally certified Physician Assistant and a member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. I have experience practicing in neurological surgery, trauma and emergency medicine, and family medicine. I am currently a professor and the Associate Program Director of the PA program at Rocky Mountain University of Health Professions in Provo, UT. I am a passionate educator who takes great pride in thoroughly discussing medical issues with my patients and answering all their questions. As a candidate for a PhD in Health Promotion and Wellness, I am currently working on my dissertation centered on Lifestyle Medicine. Through my doctoral studies, I have had courses and developed skills in advanced nutrition, motivational interviewing, wellness coaching, population health interventions, and integrative therapies in wellness. My medical training, personal health journey, and doctoral education help me assist others in their own health and wellness journies.

My goal is simple – to help you improve your health by addressing the foundations of a healthy life. By incorporating principles of lifestyle medicine my dream is to create healthier women, children, and families.
Think of this as having a personal health coach who is a physician with over 15 years of experience as a Board Certified Gynecologist helping women handle complicated issues such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, fertility, obesity, endometriosis, and menopause. I now put all of that knowledge and experience to use and combine it with my board certification in Lifestyle Medicine to help you take control of your health! Working one-on-one we will goal-set and strategize, develop personalized nutritional plans, stress management strategies, improved sleep, and physical activity plans.
 

My practice is designed to fit the busy life of my patients! Through my online platform women have the option of meeting with me in person or opt for convenient online appointments. Online appointments allow for unconventional appointment times, no hassle of leaving work to sit in a physician waiting room, or the need for a babysitter. I strive to help you improve your quality of life, achieve your wellness goals, and heal your body to live your best life possible – in the most convenient way possible!

I have been a Physician Assistant since 2005. Currently working in Internal Medicine. In 2012 I had my own health problems despite heavy exercise, and what I felt was a healthy lifestyle. This prompted me to study the science of Nutrition. Once I saw the evidence I began transitioning to a whole food plant based diet. I got my health back, and then began sharing it with patients. By the end of 2020 I have taught using a food as medicine approach to over 1,500 patients, both in one on one appointments in the clinic, as well as in free classes to my community. I continue to teach and share this vital information, with any and all who are interested in taking control of their own health and wellness. 

I am a board-certified Internal Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine physician and work with people to help prevent, treat, and even (with some conditions) reverse disease.  As part of someone’s health we talk about nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress, and support system and these all play critical roles in health.
In addition to the in-office/telemedicine visits, patients and community members are welcome to attend the Walk With A Doc monthly walks at the Ventura Pier (currently held as an education over Zoom due to COVID-19) or other group visits for education, support, or to ask questions.  
I am part of a larger medical group (Dignity Health) and we accept almost all insurance plans. 

Medical Director at the Health for Life Medical Centre in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.  We provide a team-based Lifestyle Medicine approach to assist our clients to achieve Optimal health.

I am an Internal Medicine Specialist and a Diplomate of the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine. I work in a multi-specialty clinic, Aroga Lifestyle Medicine, where care is provided in a team setting. Patients can expect to be assessed by a variety of healthcare providers to assist in empowering them to implement the 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine, including a primarily whole-foods plant-based diet in their journeys to prevent, treat, and potentially reverse chronic illness. 

[Trī-māz-ing] :three times better than amazing     Cindy wants you to be Trimazing—three times better than amazing!   After improving her health and fitness through plant-based nutrition, losing 60 pounds and becoming an adult-onset athlete, she retired from her 20-year firefighting career to help people just like you. She works with people and organizations so they can reach their health and wellness goals.       Shortly after her father died from blood cancer in 2008, her state designated blood and other cancers as presumptive illnesses for professional firefighters, prompting Cindy to research how to reduce her personal cancer risk. She discovered that a whole food, plant-based vegan diet that eliminated the consumption of animal products could be key to her health and cancer prevention. Without going on a diet and just putting better fuel (food) into her body, Cindy dropped 60 pounds, 7 uniform pants sizes, 3 uniform shirt sizes, and dropped her cholesterol and blood pressure readings in one year.     Beyond looking better, her fitness level soared, and gave her new energy she could not contain. At the age of 38, Cindy became an adult onset athlete, competing and medaling in marathons, triathlons, open water swim races, and endurance events! Best of all, she’s been able to maintain this without dieting or feeling deprived!       Her fire department was so impressed by her transformation that they put her in charge of the newly formed Wellness Fitness Initiative, a collaborative program between the International Association of Firefighters and International Association of Fire Chiefs. Cindy is a decorated Fire Captain and paramedic, awarded Firefighter of the Year and Oregon State Paramedic of the Year. As part of the prestigious Executive Fire Officer Program at the U.S. Fire Academy, Cindy published original research on firefighter and public health and safety.       Our health and wellness is closely tied to the health of our environment. Cindy incorporates zero-waste and sustainable practices throughout her programs. You’ll see it IS easy being green!       Now that she’s retired from the fire service, Cindy shares her knowledge, experience, infectious enthusiasm for food, health, and fitness as a certified Health Coach, Master Vegan Lifestyle Coach and Educator, Fitness Nutrition Specialist, and Firefighter Peer Fitness Trainer through Trimazing! Health & Lifestyle Coaching. She is a Food for Life Instructor with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, Harvard Medical School Culinary Coach, and Rouxbe Plant-Based Professional, teaching people how to prepare delicious, satisfying, and health-promoting meals. You can find Cindy at Trimazing! Health & Lifestyle Coaching and be reached at cindy@trimazing.com.

I have been a Whole Food, Plant-Based eater since 2016.  I lost 60# with Bright Line Eating in 2016 and reversed hypertension, obesity, and borderline diabetes.  Both plans are the most effective and sustainable for accomplishing improved health and optimal weight.  I am a Family Nurse Practitioner working at Harbor Community Health Center in San Pedro, CA.  I am available to assist anyone who is interested in learning more about these two ways of eating to improve his or her health.  I can prescribe medications for those who need them, with a goal of weaning off medications as your diet improves.  Our clinic accepts self-pay or various insurances, including Medicare, MediCal, and several HealthCareLA plans.    

I am a board certified internal medicine physician, with a focus in lifestyle medicine, including nutrition, activity/exercise, sleep, and mindfulness & meaning. I started my own journey in the 1990s and have been growing and learning, with an interest in nutrition research, long before I found medicine and became a doctor. I have opened my own clinic, where I can talk at length with my patients about lifestyle medicine and more, without the restrictions of many of the big box clinics. I am truly passionate about a plant based lifestyle and recovering/pursuing optimal health. I also do OMT (hands-on diagnosis and treatment) and I have home visit programs for my mobility-challenged and elderly patients. Located in sunny, seaside Ventura, CA.

I help clients make diet and lifestyles changes ultilizing mindfull eating techniques. My services are evidenced based and patient centered while focused on helping you get in touch with your hunger and fullness cues and learning about how thought processes influence your cravings, binges, and gut health. Unlike many practitioners, we will take a deep dive into your health history and get to the root causes of your health issues. I specialize in clients struggling with yo-yo dieting, mindless eating, or those with lifestyle diseases such as cancer, heart disease, or diabetes for example.

I am a registered dietitian, American College of Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner and a Life/Weight Coach. I first learned about plant based medicine 19 years ago during my practicum at the Pritikin Longevity Center and have been passionate about the role food has in our health ever since, though I haven’t always been as spot on with my nutrition as I am today.
 
I can remember as a mom of young kids feeling mom-like and not in a good way. I was bursting out of my jeans. But worse than that, I felt too big for my skin. One day I noticed that my seatbelt was cutting into my stomach. That was a first. I remember thinking I’m a dietitian, I know better. I felt ashamed because I was preaching healthy eating, but I wasn’t always eating healthy. I was on the “one is never enough” plan and it showed on my body. I remember the phone call from my doctor’s office–bad labs. I thought, what am I doing? I know better. Then the shame fell away and I had a new feeling, conviction. I decided I was going to take care of myself and I started following my E.A.S.E. plan (which now I share with my clients).
E: eat greens
A: add fiber and color
S: subtract processed foods
E: exercise your mind and body
I felt healthier. No longer exhausted. I didn’t shove my words down with food anymore. I said what I was thinking instead of snacking. Now I weigh 102 lbs. My weight has stayed the same for over 10 years. Jeans slide on with no effort (except those double zeros!).  I no longer fear the seatbelt. Now I help others do the same.

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.
