Get HEALTHY WITH ME IN 2016
If you need help with your Health goals for 2016, begin by securing the help of a qualified nutritionist. There are many many people willing to take your hard earned income for any type of advice or “health coaching”. Be sure the advice you are getting is grounded in credible, evidence-based training, education and experience (or clinical practice) of the practitioner. Other certifications and credentials are part of continuing education and learning applied within the practice environment.
I practice what I preach, and I’m very dedicated to my clients. I have walked in their shoes, by overcoming a difficult case of Fibromyalgia mixed with arthritis and hypothyroid condition. I’m a fanatic about consuming REAL, HEALTHY, Organic foods, and developing healthy lifestyle habits. This maximizes energy, fights aging & inflammation, and help genes to express their positive wellness potential.
MY CREDENTIALS:
As your nutrition expert I practice functional nutrition. My credentials and experience include the following:

I earned my RDN status in 1975 and have been in private practice since 2005. My practice was started in Poway, and has expanded to 2 physicians offices, in Poway and Carlsbad.
In 2007 I earned a certificate of completion as a Certified LEAP Therapist (CLT). This means I completed extensive study and advanced clinical training in adverse food reactions, including food allergies, food sensitivities, and food intolerance. CLTs know how to assist clients with the LEAP Immunocalm Diet Protocols, based on the Mediator Release Test (MRT) blood test. I also Mentor more than 40 other dietitians across the country, who have sought out credentialing as Certified LEAP Therapists.

As a functional nutrition practitioner, I completed continuing education in integrative and functional nutrition. Each February I attend the annual Integrative Health Symposium in New York City. At this 4 day long symposium, the foremost experts in the fields of functional and integrative medicine and nutrition will present over 150 hours of cutting edge, evidence based therapies, research, education, and resources.
