About Michael

Mike is a registered dietitian and certified diabetes care and education specialist with over a decade of experience helping people navigate the often confusing world of nutrition.

Mike recognizes that every person leads a unique, busy life—and lasting change happens when nutrition fits seamlessly into that lifestyle.
