Hi there, I’m Michael, your friendly neighborhood dietitian! My passion is simple -- helping you realize, pursue, and attain your goals through the benefits of nutrition coaching. I believe nutrition is a display of who we are as individuals, which is why all care and recommendations I give are based on current science and customized to who you are and what you desire. In the world of “diet culture” and “fad” nutrition it can become overwhelming and difficult to decipher what is what -- that’s where I can come in answering your questions and helping you make sustainable progress towards whatever your goal may be.

In the past, I struggled to understand good nutrition and waded through many diet trends without benefit. I studied nutrition science because I wanted to learn more about how to nourish myself and my family. Now I get to use what I learned to help the people I love the most and help others in my community. I believe everyone is worthy of good nutrition and nutrition education. I want to be your trusted resource and help you develop a simple eating strategy you enjoy.

Ever since I was a child, I have been passionate about cooking. Much of my passion probably has to do with growing up with a mom who is a professional chef. Now, I enjoy teaching others to plan and prepare healthy, home-cooked meals. Planning meals for fertility, prenatal nutrition, women's health, hormones, diabetes, PCOS, kidney disease and heart health are my specialties. In addition to individual counseling, I lead grocery store tours and cooking classes and diabetes talks. My personal and professional background provides the ideal support you need to make changes, and offers realistic solutions to the challenges of daily life.

I firmly believe in the transformative power of food to promote and sustain health. Adequate nutrition is fundamental for well-being; without it, true health is unattainable. However, I also recognize that nutrition is just one aspect of holistic wellness. My passion lies in guiding individuals to cultivate a balanced relationship with food, alleviating concerns about weight and chronic conditions. By fostering this harmony, my goal is to empower clients to prioritize what truly matters in life, embracing a sense of peace within their own bodies.
