Approach to care

My approach to patient care is firmly rooted in evidence-based practice, with a strong emphasis on Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) as a clinically validated tool for the prevention and management of chronic disease. I do not support the use of fad diets or non-evidence-based nutrition trends. Instead, I utilize peer-reviewed research, established clinical guidelines, and individualized assessments to develop nutrition care plans that are both safe and effective. Each intervention is tailored to the patient’s medical history, biochemical data, lifestyle, and therapeutic goals, ensuring measurable outcomes and long-term sustainability in health improvement.
