About Michael

Hello! I’m 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. I’m passionate about making nutrition simple, approachable, and personally meaningful so you can feel confident in your health.

Approach to care

I know that everyone leads a unique, busy life—and lasting change only works when nutrition fits naturally into your routine. I take the time to understand your goals, health history, and day-to-day habits, then work alongside you to create practical, sustainable strategies that support long-term wellness. I also understand how overwhelming conflicting nutrition advice can be. My role is to cut through the noise, provide clear and reliable guidance, and debunk common myths so you feel supported and informed every step of the way.

Your first session with Michael

During our first session, I focus on getting to know you—your goals, motivations, health background, past experiences, and everyday routines. Together, we’ll build a foundation for realistic, personalized changes that set you up for lasting success and improved health.
