Kari's mission is to help individuals, families, and children achieve a healthful and nutritious lifestyle. She takes an individualized, holistic approach for everyone she councils using support and goal setting. She understands and encourages every step of the way!

Kari’s experience extends to treating such conditions as diabetes, elevated cholesterol, liver disease, GI issues, weight loss, and so much more.

A little about me…Kari Sharp, MS, RDN, CLT is the founder of the private practice Sharp Nutrition. She has a background in culinary arts, nutrition education, program coordination, and as a health and wellness activist. Since opening her private practice, Kari has gained the reputation as one of the leading dietitians and nutrition educators in the Los Angeles South Bay region and was honored by these communities as the best nutritionist in the area. As a nutrition consultant for Cognitive Leap Solutions, Kari developed the evidence-based nutrition therapy section of a Prescription Digital Therapeutics app designed to improve the well-being of children with ADHD. To give back, Kari trains dietetic interns, mentors newly registered dietitians in the art and science of helping individuals heal through the power of food. In her free time, Kari enjoys training for marathons and trail races, hiking with her Beagle, and cooking healthy meals for her family.
