About Yi

Hi! Are you ready to embark on a journey to improve your well-being through food as medicine? As a Registered Dietitian based in California, I specialize in boosting energy, managing weight, and supporting individuals with pre-diabetes, diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol through balanced nutrition and sustainable lifestyle changes. Together, we’ll help you feel, look, and perform at your best while embracing a healthier, more vibrant lifestyle!

Approach to care

I believe in a participant-led and holistic approach to care, where you are at the center of every decision. Together, we’ll identify opportunities for change, focusing not only on improving your diet and nutrition but also on how lifestyle adjustments can support your overall well-being. Everyone has their own unique road and foundation, and we’ll work together to find the right path that suits your needs. While you ultimately decide what’s best for you, it’s my role to provide an evidence-based approach, ensuring you can make informed and confident choices.

Your first session with Yi

You will receive a warm welcome and an overview of what to expect during our session. The dietitian will assess your health history, so please come prepared with your medical history, medications, and any recent lab values if available. We will spend ample time discussing your needs and the health goals that motivated you to seek support. Together, we will set SMART goals tailored to your journey.
