About Venkata

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist based in California, with a deep-rooted passion for helping individuals achieve their health goals while embracing their unique cultural backgrounds. I am originally from India, my upbringing and traveling across different parts of the world helped me understand diverse cultures, perspectives, and food traditions. I have worked with various health conditions and all age groups. I am honored to be part of your journey.

Approach to care

As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, I believe that nourishing your body should feel supportive and empowering—not overwhelming. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practice and delivered with empathy and respect. I take a holistic approach that values a positive relationship with food, mindful practices, and the power of small, consistent changes that support your overall wellbeing. Whether you are managing a health condition, exploring new nutrition habits, building a movement routine, or working toward a healthier relationship with food, I am here to guide you in a balanced, approachable, and non-overwhelming way.
