I help adults use nutrition alongside GLP-1 medications, bariatric weight loss surgery, and metabolic conditions to support safe, sustainable weight loss.

  • You’re using (or considering) medications like semaglutide or tirzepatide and want guidance on:

    • how to eat when appetite is low or inconsistent

    • minimizing side effects like nausea, fatigue, or GI issues

    • preserving muscle mass and meeting nutrient needs

    • avoiding the “eat as little as possible” trap

  • You’re preparing for or recovering from bariatric surgery and want:

    • clear structure around protein, portions, and supplementation

    • support adapting to appetite and tolerance changes

    • long-term strategies beyond the immediate post-op phase

  • You want weight loss or metabolic improvement in the context of:

    • Type 2 diabetes or prediabetes

    • PCOS or insulin resistance

    • cholesterol or blood pressure concerns

My work is grounded in a few core principles that guide how we work together.

We focus on creating strategies and systems that work with your life, busy schedule, and appetite changes.

Practical

We prioritize habits and skills that support metabolic health over time. The goal is to help you feel confident maintaining progress.

Sustainable

You are an active participant in your care. Sessions are collaborative, respectful, and guided by curiosity rather than perfection. We adjust strategies together as your needs, goals, and circumstances evolve.
