Health Professionals near Placerville, CA

I love helping people with diabetes make sense of the condition and ultimately overcome it! Type 2 diabetes reversal IS possible (despite what other health professionals may have said), and it can be done naturally, with real food, minimizing the need for medications and supplements.

I provide a dietary and lifestyle program that is personalized and designed specifically for you as an individual, so that you experience results, which are tremendously more beneficial than with programs designed to suit everyone. You learn exactly what will work for your body to heal symptoms and many long-standing health problems. In addition there is an overall improvement in well being including increased energy and stamina, greater resistance to disease, mental clarity, and an overall sense of peace and greater happiness.

For the past 30 years, I have helped thousands of clients with their diet-related challenges in this country and abroad. Working in hospitals and my own private practice, I use evidence-based practices in Diabetes Care, Gestational Diabetes, Post Acute Rehab, Skilled Nursing and Renal Care. My years of relevant experience allows me to create a custom nutrition program for your unique health goals. In addition to the science of nutrition, I am an expert on foods of different palates and ethnicities. I am a specialist in vegan, vegetarian and diets related to food intolerances.

Before opening my own practice in Folsom, I worked at a busy acupuncture clinic for 4 years where we saw average 55 patients per day. It was precious experience for me as I was able to see and treat various medical conditions from the age of one-month-old babies to over 100-years-old elders. In Japan, acupuncture has been used extensively to treat childhood ailments. For youger childrens, I use special pediatric tools that developed about 300 years ago in Japan. Childrens, actually, respond better and faster than adults due to their sensitivity.

I help women lose weight through reducing inflammation instead of calories. When done correctly, weight loss can be more of a passive side effect rather than the target. Together we will incorporate lab based testing, an extensive genetic workup and behavior coaching to make sure no stone is left unturned. This will be the last time you need to lose weight, my program guarantees it.

As a California-licensed primary care naturopathic doctor, my primary goal is to partner with you to prevent illness, but if a "dis-ease" is present, to utilize the most natural, non-toxic, and least invasive therapies first. Another critical priority is finding the underlying cause(s) of illness, not merely treating symptoms, therefore, I use hundreds of diagnostic and functional medical labs to help diagnose. My special areas of expertise are: balancing body; diabetes/cardiometabolic; mood (depression, anxiety); hormonal balance (i.e. thyroid, adrenal, bio-identical hormones); healthy aging; weight/fat loss; exercise/nutrition/managing stress; fatigue, optimal health.

You did really good job today. In my walk back to work, I felt really relaxed in my legs and back, I could also feel the qi flowing all over. Thank you super doctor!!

Meet Sarah Hall: I am a passionate, fun-loving RDN who takes an empathetic, judgement free approach. I have a special love for sports nutrition, working with athletes or those training for races and challenges as I spent most of my life as an athlete and spent time working as an RD in an elite training center. As a type 1 diabetic I have a great enthusiasm for any and all diabetes patients, I understand the struggles and what it can take to manage.

I have a patient centered practice. What does this mean? It means that I try to tailor every treatment plan to the needs of each individual patient. I look forward to me meeting you and learning how I can help.

Emotional eating is a condition that is widely misunderstood. All too often it is assumed that emotional eaters have no willpower over food or lack the motivation for change. Feelings of guilt, shame, and even loneliness can create a perpetual cycle of dieting and deprivation followed by uncontrolled eating. If this feels familiar to you, I want you to know that you are not alone. I can help you to understand this cycle and develop a better relationship with food. I provide education to clear up confusion around nutrition facts, challenge diet myths, and work with you to discover a pattern of eating that supports your health.

Navigating the nutrition world can be overwhelming! As a Registered Dietitian (RD) I aim to help clients optimize their health based on individual need. Many people have an underlying inflammatory condition, nutrient deficiency, and/or unhealthy gut that causes issues such as IBS, migraines, joint pain, skin issues, depression, behavioral issues, fatigue, and weight management issues. If you have a new or chronic condition, underlying health issues, or just want to achieve optimal health through your diet...I am your Dietitian!

I take a functional and root-cause approach to bring your health back into balance. This holistic approach includes looking at all aspects of you and your lifestyle, including health history, current state of health, diet, sleep patterns, response to stress, work, family , and recreational aspects of your lifestyle. In addition my approach is to get to the underlying cause of the symptoms or conditions rather than just treat the symptoms.

I focus on clients looking to improve their performance in sports and feeling their best through nutrition. Together we will work to identify your primary goals and what the best course of action is to meet them! There is no right or wrong answer to nutrition counseling, so all 1:1 sessions are unique to fit each individuals concerns and needs.
