About Jacynda

Hello! My name is Jacynda Oun. I recently completed my Dietetic Internship Program in May of 2024. I currently serve as an Inpatient Clinical Dietitian, where my commitment to patient-centered care supports individuals in managing health conditions through evidence-based nutrition interventions. I am also an active member of the California Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Northern Area District (CAND NAD) and the National Organization of Blacks in Dietetics and Nutrition (NOBIDAN) Member Interest Group. Outside of my professional role, I stay current with the latest advancements in nutrition science, always seeking ways to empower my patients and the wider community with practical, sustainable nutrition guidance.

Approach to care

Patient-Centered Care: I tailor my recommendations to each patient's medical history, lifestyle, and personal preferences. Evidence-Based Practice: My recommendations are grounded in the latest clinical guidelines and scientific research. Cultural Competency & Inclusivity: I respect diverse backgrounds and dietary traditions, integrating them into my nutrition plans. I advocate for equitable access to nutrition education and resources. Motivational & Educational Approach: I use motivational interviewing and behavior change strategies to empower patients.
