About Kaivon

While I have been a practicing Registered Dietitian over the last 4 years, I have had a deep passion for health and nutrition for most of my life. With a family history of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, I knew I wanted to avoid the health complications I observed within my own household. This has helped me obtain optimal health for myself and fuels my desires to help others with their own diet related health struggles as well. I am 36, originally from Midwest, and have a Master's Degree in Nutrition and Food Sciences. I can assist in with Bariatric Surgery needs, weight loss or gain, cutting or bulking for athletes or gym lovers, aging and nutrition, and kidney disease. I love to exercise and really enjoy spending time with my wife, who is also a Registered Dietitian. I am very easy-going and am often told I have a "laid back attitude", which I feel helps put my patients and clients at ease and more likely to be successful in their nutrition journeys.

Approach to care

I always am upfront and honest with all of the individuals I provide nutrition care for. I believe honesty from both the patient and provider is needed for the most successful outcomes possible. I understand that talking to a Dietitian can be intimidating, but I will never judge anyone for their food choices, nor I am I "the food police". My goal is to provide the most thorough and easy to understand nutrition education while providing encouragement to make the best choices that will allow for improved quality of life.

Your first session with Kaivon

I will go over what is most important to you in your nutrition journey, what goals you have [don't worry if you don't have any yet :)], what have you tried before in the past that has worked and also what has failed, and what obstacles you're currently facing that may prevent you from reaching your goals. You will be doing a lot of talking so that way I can get a good picture of what I need to do to help you reach your goals in the most effective and efficient way possible.
