About Saima
Congratulations on taking the first step towards better health! With over 15 years in nutrition, I offer extensive knowledge and a passion for helping others achieve their goals. My holistic approach embraces wisdom from various cultures and the power of food as medicine. I specialize in Diabetes Management, Cardio-Metabolic Disease, GI Health, Bariatric Surgery, Functional Medicine, Food Allergies and Pregnancy and Lactation. I am dedicated to understanding your story and creating a compassionate, tailored care plan. Each session meets your needs and supports your well-being. Aside from being a dietitian, I am a mom of four daughters and pet-mom to 4 cats and 2 dogs. Having navigated my own health challenges, I understand the unique aspects of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Approach to care
I believe in a holistic approach to health, addressing root causes through mental, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. Embracing wisdom from various cultures, I advocate for food as medicine and supplements to restore balance. I trust in the body's ability to return to balance with the right environment, including functional foods, a supportive lifestyle, and adequate sleep. My philosophy is anti-diet, anti-quick fix, and moderation. I am certified in the low-FODMAP approach for managing IBS and specialize in South Asian health. My approach is empathetic, empowering, and tailored to your unique story, honoring your lifestyle, culture, values, and beliefs. We can meet as often as needed, with flexible check-ins.
Your first session with Saima
I want to know about YOU! We'll start by addressing your short-term and long-term health goals. We will review your health history, recent labs, medications, supplements, eating and movement patterns, sleep, stress, and other factors that influence your well-being. We’ll also discuss any challenges that have prevented you from achieving your goals. Together, we’ll prioritize and create a personalized, actionable roadmap for success. I’ll provide the knowledge and resources needed for informed health choices, offering ongoing support to keep you motivated. There will be time for questions and concerns, and we’ll use motivational techniques to empower you with skills for positive, lasting changes.
