A registered dietitian for Placentia — virtually.

Placentia is one of north Orange County's quieter, more settled suburbs — a family-oriented city whose name literally comes from the Latin for 'a pleasant place to live,' with a revitalized historic Old Town and a strong reputation for safety and schools.

It sits right in the middle of the cities I serve most, bordered by Fullerton, Anaheim and Yorba Linda. Many residents are established families and professionals with full calendars — the kind of schedule where a standing drive to a clinic is the first thing to fall off.

Virtual care fits that life: a video visit from home slots into a busy week, and the plan continues from wherever you are, which is most of what makes nutrition changes actually last.

For settled Placentia families and professionals — including a growing number who work from home — the friction of a standing clinic drive is exactly what ends a nutrition plan early. Telehealth removes it; you keep the appointment from your kitchen.

Each session is a video visit with a personalized plan and written resources sent after. We can fold in labs, CGM data and structured follow-ups so the work compounds over weeks instead of resetting each visit.

I'm based in Orange County and virtual-first. Select in-person sessions in OC are available by request, but the practice is built around telehealth so care stays consistent.

A lot of Placentia clients come in for PCOS, hormone work and insulin resistance — root-cause work that pairs well with whatever medical care you're already getting, and is explicitly anti-fad and weight-inclusive.

The other big themes are perimenopause and midlife hormone changes — sleep, energy, body composition shifts, cycle changes — and gut health (IBS, reflux, low-FODMAP done properly). All of it is sustainable, food-first, and built for a real family schedule.
