About Makeda
I am a Registered Dietitian with over 10 years experience serving people in long term care facilities, hospitals and dialysis units. Throughout, my passion has been educating people on the sustainable habits they can build to improve their risk of chronic illness, especially diabetes, heart disease and kidney disease. Although I currently live in Central Florida, I have connections to Panama via my parents and Tanzania and Zimbabwe where I spent several years as a child. I have a global perspective and encourage everyone to embrace foods from their culture and beyond.
Approach to care
When I am your dietitian, I get to know the whole person so that we can highlight strengths, overcome challenges and enjoy the process along the way. My personal mission is to leave everyone and everything in a better state than I found them. I look forward to the opportunity to improve your well-being.
