About Arlene
Hello, I have been working as a dietitian since 1997, mainly in the academic hospital and clinics setting. My experience is quite varied. I have done everything from neonatal intensive care to transplant to everything one finds in a hospitalized setting. I am a native Californian, love dogs and love to hike and travel.
Approach to care
I am practical and a realist and want to help you achieve improved and lasting good health. I know that behavior change is not easy and especially when it comes to food and exercise - sabotage is everywhere! I have to work to keep my weight down and muscle up just like you. I am a proponent of a "plant forward" diet which does not necessarily mean strict vegan or vegetarian.
Your first session with Arlene
First I will need to get know you and what your goals and expectations are so I can provide a personalized plan. I will find out what your needs are - do you need to write down what you eat to avoid food amnesia? Do you need a complete overhaul of your diet? More exercise? An accountability partner? Our first session will make clear what will best meet your needs and get you started on the road to health.
