About Ben

Hi, I’m Ben, a Registered Dietitian with 15 years of experience, focused on helping people build sustainable health by blending solid science and experience with real-life application. My background includes private practice, sports nutrition, community health, research, bodybuilding, powerlifting, and strength and performance coaching. I hold two master’s degrees in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and in Sports Nutrition and Exercise Science. Outside of work, I enjoy strength training, golf, chemistry/pharmacology, reading, and spending time outdoors. I work best with people who want clear guidance, thoughtful support, and a practical plan that fits their life.

Approach to care

My care is guided by education, empathy, and partnership. I use evidence-based strategies, communicate clearly, and meet you where you are. Rather than quick fixes, I focus on sustainable behavior change and building habits you can maintain long term. My approach is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and respectful of your goals, preferences, and lived experience. Together, we translate nutrition science into simple, realistic steps that support your health and daily life.

Your first session with Ben

The first session is focused entirely on you. We will review your medical history and any relevant lab work, explore your relationship with food, and identify short-term goals. The conversation is low pressure and judgment-free. You do not need to have everything figured out. I will listen, ask thoughtful questions, and help you identify practical next steps. Your nutrition plan will be personalized and designed to evolve over time, not a one-size-fits-all meal plan.
