Ramona Shih, RD

I am a Los Angeles-based dietitian with over 7 years of experience in inpatient and outpatient clinical care, education, and renal care. 

​

My journey with nutrition started when I was 10 years old, when my father was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. It was a huge adjustment for our family , but we learned to all adopt a healthier lifestyle after it. I especially took an interest in packing meals for him and meticulously looking at all the food labels to make sure it was safe for him. Ever since then, I have always had an interest in science, nutrition, medicine, and the human body. 

​

I studied Molecular and Environmental Biology at UC Berkeley and obtained my Master's in Human Nutrition at Johns Hopkins. I completed my RD internship at Johns Hopkins Hospital; Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center; and The National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases. 

​

My passion lies in education and helping individuals with chronic conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart failure, weight management, gastrointestinal disorders, cancer, etc. I also love helping individuals with general nutrition goals. I believe that with proper nutrition, we can maintain our health and reduce the risk of worsening conditions. During my years of practice, I have primarily worked with adults, but also have some experience with pediatrics. I have worked at AltaMed, Davita, Cedars Sinai, AHMC, Glendale Community College with people from many different backgrounds.
