Background
I attended California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, where I earned a B.S. in Food and Nutrition with an emphasis in Dietetics. After graduating from university, I became an ADAPT Certified Functional Health Coach. I then returned to Cal Poly Pomona and completed my Dietetic Internship, allowing me to sit for the Registered Dietitian Exam. As a life-long learner, I dedicate time to remaining up-to-date on the latest research on blood sugar metabolism, pre-diabetes, diabetes, and autoimmunity to help individuals uncover the drivers of their health issues. I believe in an individualized approach to reaching an optimal state of health. While there are universal principles required to experience positive health change, I understand the journey may look different for everyone, and each person has unique motivations for wanting to improve their health. I am not only skilled at uncovering your “why” for change but will provide you with the tools and information you need to get to the root of your health issues. I desire everyone to experience a level of vitality just as nature intended. My experience in conventional dietetics and functional medicine has left me disheartened. I observed shortcomings in both but have been fortunate enough to experience both and fill in the gaps to ensure my clients get the results they are seeking. I am a California native. However, I now live in Florida with my wife, Lauren, twin boys, Jude and Logan, and Black Sheprador, Lilah. I love lifting weights, hiking, and gardening – anything that allows me to be outdoors. Now that we are in Florida we spend plenty of time at the beach during our free time.

Approach
"You have seen other medical professionals without much direction, just offered medications or supplements to address a handful of symptoms, and have walked away feeling disappointed. You experimented with many diets only to make short-term progress, at best. Good news! My approach is different! I am here to help you get to the root of your blood sugar issues through a food-first approach while optimizing energy production and limiting supplements to allow your body to function as designed."
