Gautami Sali, RD

Hi! I'm Gautami (Gau-ta-me). I'm a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with a Masters in Medical Dietetics. I completed my Dietetic Internship and Master’s program in St. Louis, MO. I then moved to San Diego, CA, where I currently live. I have over 15 years’ experience working in clinical settings (Hospitals, Long Term Care Facilities and Skilled Nursing Facilities). I have focused on nutritional counseling for 3 years now and specialize in Pre-diabetes, Diabetes, weight management and Heart Health.I know coming here itself can be a big daunting step but I’m here to walk you through the process by breaking it down into simple steps. When you work with me, you can expect a coach and a cheer leader. We will discuss your current eating habits, daily routine, tastes and preferences. I understand that everyone is busy and already has a full schedule juggling several aspects of their lives. Adding something new to it can seem overwhelming but I will work with you to provide a personalized, realistic and creative nutrition plan that can be incorporated easily. I believe that nutrition is not only about “food” and we will explore a holistic approach to suit your needs. My goal is to collaborate with you and to empower you to control your health. A little bit about my background: I grew up in Dubai, then moved to India for my undergraduate studies and moved to the US for my Masters. I have seen and worked with people from several different cultures and love interacting with people from different backgrounds. I genuinely like connecting with people at a deeper level. When I am not at work, I like spending time with my family; hiking, cooking and traveling with them. I love exploring different places-local and outside. There is so much to learn from traveling; about food, nature and people!I’d love to hear from you and start this nutrition/health journey with you.
