Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome is a group of conditions that increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. These conditions include high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol levels. A healthy diet is an important part of managing and preventing metabolic syndrome. We can work together to make sustainable diet and lifestyle changes that can prevent the development of metabolic syndrome and/or the progression from metabolic syndrome into a cardiometabolic disease (such as diabetes).

Cardiovascular Disease Care & Prevention
A healthy diet is an important component of a heart-healthy lifestyle and reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. If you already have cardiovascular disease, we can discuss and implement any specific dietary needs or restrictions, such as a low-sodium or low-fat diet, you may have. Simple dietary changes can improve heart health, help with disease management, and reduce the risk of complications.

Diabetes Care & Prevention
Diabetes management involves a combination of proper nutrition, regular physical activity, and medication if needed. These strategies can help to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes-related complications, such as heart disease, nerve damage, and kidney disease. Whether you’ve been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, prediabetes or you want to take preventative measures, let’s work together to develop an eating plan that meets your individual needs and preferences.

A plant-based diet is a dietary pattern that emphasizes foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts, while limiting or excluding animal-based foods, such as meat, poultry, fish, and dairy products. This type of diet has been shown to have numerous health benefits, including improved heart health, weight management, and overall well-being. Plant-based diets are also associated with a lower risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. If your goal is to reduce meat or animal product intake while maintaining adequate nutrition, let’s work together to develop a unique dietary pattern that meets your individual needs and preferences.

Simply looking to improve your eating habits? I can provide education on nutrition and healthy eating habits, allowing you to make healthier food choices and incorporate more nutrient-dense foods into your diet. Depending on your needs, this service may include help with meal planning and grocery shopping. We can work together to make small and sustainable changes to your diet, at a pace that works for you.

Individuals with celiac disease must follow a strict gluten free diet. As a registered dietitian with celiac disease (diagnosed in 2015), I can help you navigate the challenges of grocery shopping, eating at restaurants, and preparing food safely.

Cross-contamination is a constant concern for those with celiac disease, which can lead to hypervigilance and food fear. These are common struggles for those following a restrictive diet. We can work together to normalize your eating pattern, while continuing to avoid gluten in a healthy way.
