Leen Almahdi

About Leen

Hi! My name is Leen and I am a California based Registered Dietitian. Since childhood, I have dreamed of becoming a dietitian and am very excited to walk along with you in your journey to optimize your health. My years of experiences span across clinical to community to research, and these invaluable experiences have shaped my counseling philosophy - to provide compassionate care and encouragement to my clients to ensure they have the tools to support lifelong changes.

Approach to care

My approach to care is simple - I customize my recommendations and plan to fit your specific needs. I believe health and nutrition are very personal, and for that reason, there is never a "one size fits all" solution and therefore, personalization of care is something I am deeply passionate about. I will work with you to understand your personal health goals while providing simple and digestible evidence-based recommendations.

Your first session with Leen

Our first session will be dedicated to us getting to know one another better! I will dedicate this time to better understand what your goals are, how you will feel best supported, and developing feasible goals together. This will be achieved through gathering information like health history, reviewing labs (if available), lifestyle habits, and dietary recall among other things.
