Hello! I am Ahondju Umadjela Holmes. I am a registered/licensed dietitian/nutritionist and live in Oklahoma City, OK. I became interested in becoming a dietitian while growing up, traveling, and observing different food cultures. Some foods appeared “disgusting” to one group of people, yet they were a delicacy to another group. As years went by, my interests expanded in finding out more and learning about food consumption, composition, and health outcomes. During the past 16 years, I have helped people make sustainable lifestyle/nutrition choices in different settings. My goal is to provide medical nutrition therapy to help people improve their health. For relaxation and personal growth, I enjoy reading, cooking new recipes or experimenting with different ingredients, gardening, singing, playing guitar, playing board games and escape rooms with my family, exploring new places, family bike ride, water aerobics/swimming, and I do not hesitate to add new hobbies… my new hobby is knitting! I am also fluent in French. A short summary in French : Je suis diététicienne-nutritionniste agréée et je vis à Oklahoma City, en Oklahoma, Etats-Unis. Je parle couramment le français. Mon objectif est de proposer des thérapies nutritionnelles médicales pour aider les gens à améliorer leur santé. Merci.
"My approach to nutrition care is non-judgmental, functional, holistic, and focuses on your priorities to identify and address the root causes of your health concerns. With in-depth assessments and emphasis on balance and harmony that foster a positive relationship with food I want to know about you and help you. Together, we will create lifestyle/nutrition plans that are personalized, practical (make sense to you), sustainable (instead of quick fixes), and that fit seamlessly into your life."
