About Figen

I am a Registered Dietitian specializing in the nutrition management of complex medical conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, gastrointestinal disorders, stroke recovery, and related diets. My focus is on translating clinical nutrition guidelines into practical, individualized plans that support both medical outcomes and quality of life. My goal is to provide clear guidance, compassionate support, and realistic strategies that help patients feel confident, nourished, and supported at every stage of their health journey.

Approach to care

What sets me apart is my experience working with many patients with many disease states in clinical and the rehab settings and my ability to adapt nutrition recommendations by taking a patient-centered approach, collaborating closely with healthcare teams while respecting each individual’s preferences, culture, and abilities. I support individuals living with heart disease, diabetes, kidney, gut conditions, and stroke and thought patients heart healthy, diabetic, renal, DASH, BRAT, mediterranean, Clear liquid, Full Liquid, Low-fiber, Low-fat, post-stoke dysphagia textured diets. I understand that medical nutrition can feel overwhelming, so I focus on clear, practical guidance that fits each person’s abilities, preferences, and daily life.
