About Michael

Michael's interest in nutrition started at a young age where he struggled with obesity and constant yo-yo dieting. He experienced the frustrations of navigating a culture of fad diets and not knowing how to eat well and lead a healthy life style. Michael met with a Registered Dietitian for the first time during high school and he finally felt empowered to improve his health and wellness.

Approach to care

Michael's training in Medical Nutrition therapy can support clients with a variety of conditions such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, high cholesterol, as well as disease prevention and wellness. Michael believes that all people deserve nutritional care and practices with a HAES informed approach. When it comes to Michael's philosophy on nutrition, he believes "confidence" and "control" are the pillars of a healthy life style. Having confidence will help you internalize that success is achievable and that you can improve your overall health and wellness. Having the tools, skills, and knowledge to thrive in any situation will help you create a sense of control where you will feel empowered to reach and maintain your longterm health goals.
