Afshan Ahmad, RD

Hi! I’m a Registered Dietitian with extensive experience in both inpatient and outpatient care, supporting clients across a wide range of health needs. I specialize in sustainable weight management, chronic condition management (including diabetes, hypertension, and kidney disease), gastrointestinal disorders, post-hospitalization nutrition support, geriatric nutrition, and overall wellness. My approach is evidence-based, compassionate, and tailored to your individual goals. Whether you're managing a new diagnosis, recovering from illness, or simply looking to feel your best, I'm here to help you take the next step toward better health.

I completed my B.S. in Human Biology at the University of California, San Diego, and my M.S. in Nutrition at California State University, Chico. My professional journey began in community nutrition. I then transitioned into clinical settings, where I provided direct care to patients in intensive care units, general medicine, and outpatient clinics. I’m thrilled to now be working one-on-one with clients through Fay.

I’m especially committed to culturally competent care and work with clients from all backgrounds. I understand that food is deeply personal—tied to culture, tradition, and lifestyle—and I’m passionate about creating personalized nutrition plans that honor those values. My counseling is grounded in motivational interviewing and Health at Every Size (HAES) principles, helping you make positive, lasting changes without shame or stigma.

Outside of work, I love cooking, reading, spending time outdoors, and exploring different cultures through food. My goal is to meet you where you are and support your unique journey to better health, whatever that looks like for you.
