I'm Caitlin, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist in Los Angeles. I've been passionate about nutrition since I was little and following in my mother's footsteps, I pursued an RD career. After dancing for 18 years and having several friends suffer from eating disorders, I became passionate about helping people overcome their disordered eating behaviors.
Background: I completed my undergraduate and graduate credential in Nutritional Science at Pepperdine University. After passing my board exam I worked in the in-patient and out-patient settings including as the Campus Dietitian at my alma mater. My work has spanned several specialities including: general wellness nutrition, food allergies/intolerances, diabetes including insulin management, GI disorders, heart disease, weight management, functional nutrition, disordered eating, and eating disorders. I'm currently completing the Nutritious Life certification program to advance my general wellness knowledge and working towards my certified diabetes educator certification (CDE).
My philosophy is taking the intuitive eating approach, teaching people to find peace with food while learning to acknowledge their physiological hunger and fullness cues to achieve ultimate health. Everything I do is evidence based and I'm happy to work with your physicians as well as lab results to get you to your healthiest place. Food and nutrition is a highly individualized science that usually requires a large amount of motivation to change. I believe in meeting clients where they are at in the change process, teaching people about the physiology of their bodies and the chemistry of digestion, focusing on the benefits of change, and helping people make small changes that will ultimately lead to a healthier life.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I'm looking forward to starting this journey with you!
