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 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 be accountable? Do you need a complete overhaul of your diet? More exercise? Our first session will make clear what will best meet your needs and get you started on the road to health.
