About Justin

I'm a California-based, registered dietitian with several years of experience working in both inpatient (hospital) and outpatient settings. My passion for nutrition originated from my own journey managing a chronic health condition, which proved a significant challenge during my teenage years. Becoming intentional about my nutrition habits changed my life and led to a desire to pursue a career that could do the same for others. After a relatively brief and uninspiring visit with a dietitian all those years ago, I decided that I wanted to change what the experience of working with a dietitian could be like. Instead of leaving the session with a vague list of foods to avoid (like I did) and more questions than answers, I hope to provide you with practical tools to simplify your approach to nutrition.

Approach to care

My approach to nutrition counseling is focused on meeting you where you are at in your unique health journey. I aim to condense the latest nutrition research into easily digestible and practical advice that you can apply in meaningful ways to improve your health and quality of life. How we reach your health goals, and how fast we aim to get there, is something that can and should look different for each person. Together, we'll figure out what approach is right for you.

Your first session with Justin

I like to start off by getting to know you, why you've signed-up with Nourish, and then get a general overview of your health and lifestyle. Once I know what your health goals/priorities are, I will provide different options for learning and applying personalized nutrition advice. I encourage you to come prepared with questions and interrupt me anytime a new one pops into your head. You are the "driver." I am here to provide support and walk you through which dietary changes are worth your time and energy. And as always, I like to keep things real, fun and light-hearted. Just because this is a health appointment, does not mean it has to feel like one.
