About Xiaoran

Food has been a constant source of joy for me, which is what led me to become a dietitian. I'm genuinely passionate about eating. I have a background in hospitality and food service, I now work with patient every day to help them meet their nutrition goals. When I'm not working, you'll find me experimenting in the kitchen, enjoying a meal with my dog, or create new nail arts. I aim to make nutrition practical, enjoyable, and sustainable for your everyday life.

Approach to care

I center care on evidence while keeping the human in focus. Guided by Health At Every Size principles, I prioritize behaviors and well-being rather than weight, your mental health is more important than the number on the scale. I combine science-backed strategies with clear, practical steps so we'll create plans that fit your life. I try my best to be warm and nonjudgmental, educational and direct, so you leave sessions with tools you can use and a path toward steady, sustainable change.

Your first session with Xiaoran

Expect a low-pressure, judgment-free visit where we'll review your medical history and any lab work or biometrics you bring. We'll take a dive into your relationship with food, talk through what is and isn't working, and establish realistic short-term goals together. I'll help create an initial meal plan that feels doable, and we'll set clear next steps you can try at home. You don't need to have everything figured out ahead of time, I'm here to support you.
