Background
Hey there! My name is Christopher Boss (he/him). I am a Los Angeles based, LGBTQ+ dietitian.
I specialize in weight management, diabetes, and plant-based nutrition. I’m here to help you build a better relationship with food in a safe and sustainable way.
My work combines aspects of behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing to create a safe and effective environment for progress. I believe in an All Foods Fit and Intuitive Eating approach. Meaning, there are no bad foods. I will teach the Hunger-Fullness Scale and show you how all foods in moderation can support improved eating behaviors and long term change. All my therapeutic approaches follow guidelines from an evidence based perspective with adaptation to individualized care.
I completed my Dietitian training from Pepperdine University. Prior to that I earned my bachelors in Nutritional Science from California State University Los Angeles. I have worked professionally with USC Keck Medicine, Kaiser Permanente, and DaVita.
During our initial session, we'll discuss your health history, and explore your specific goals. This is also a great opportunity for us to get to know each other and build a strong foundation for our work together. We'll conclude by discussing a personalized plan of care and how often we should meet. Most clients choose weekly sessions.
Follow ups are where we will do lots of learning. I am big on collaboration, and will always ask what is on your itinerary for session, followed by any celebrations or challenges since the last session for discussion. We will always be creating and checking in on your goals for accountability. If we are meeting virtual I will share my screen, for us to do worksheets, activities, or maybe even eating together. If we are meeting in person, I will provide printed resources.
My office hours are:
Monday – Friday
1030am – 7pm PST
A little bit more about me: I love Boba, I am currently learning Spanish, my favorite cartoon character is Snoopy, and my favorite hobby is Karaoke.
