Delaney Smith, RD

When you step into my world of nutrition and culinary arts, expect to embark on a journey that's both enlightening and enjoyable. My sessions are designed not just to educate but to empower. You'll learn how to blend the science of nutrition with the art of cooking, creating meals that are as healthy as they are delicious. I focus on practical skills, ensuring that you leave each session with tangible takeaways to enhance your health and well-being. My expertise lies at the unique intersection of dietetics and culinary arts. I specialize in nutritional psychiatry, exploring how diet impacts mental health alongside physical health. Whether you're seeking to improve your overall wellness, manage a specific health condition, or simply learn to cook nutritious meals, I'm here to guide you. My approach is tailored to each individual, ensuring a fit for those ready to embrace a holistic view of health. I'm a registered dietitian with over seven years of experience working as a chef. My academic background in nutrition education for diabetes prevention, weight loss, and mind-body nutrition is complemented by hands-on culinary experience. My decision to become a registered dietitian and establish a private practice stems from a deep-seated belief in the transformative power of food. Having seen the impact of diet on both physical and my own mental health, I was inspired to blend my culinary skills with nutritional expertise to offer a unique, holistic approach to wellness. It's this passion that drives me every day to help others discover the joy and benefits of healthy eating. Outside of my professional life, I'm an avid gardener, finding joy in growing some of the ingredients I use in my kitchen. This hobby not only connects me to the source of food but also grounds me in the simplicity and beauty of nature. I also love hiking with my pup and exploring all the wonderful restaurants that Los Angeles and San Diego have to offer.
