Nutrition in harmony—evidence-based nutrition care that integrates health, culture, and complex medical expertise to help you build confidence, wellness, and peace with food.
You don't need a diagnosis to want this figured out - you just need to eat, every day, for the rest of your life.
🍋
Whether you were referred by your medical team, or you're simply the kind of person who takes their health seriously and wants an expert in your corner, this is a good place to start.
I can help you understand how food connects to your health, make sense of medical recommendations, and turn them into practical choices that fit your everyday life.
I'm fluent in English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Spanish -- not just conversational, but fluent enough to talk about food the way it's actually lived: family recipes, cultural context, the words that don't translate cleanly.
Personalized Nutrition Care for Diabetes, Optimal Nutrition, and Chronic Health Conditions
I'm Katherine! I'm a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist. I help you nutritionally manage conditions that don't forgive guesswork: diabetes, malnutrition, disordered eating, optimal growth, etc.
That training comes from City of Hope, Kaiser Permanente, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Keck Medicine of USC, and LA General Medical Center.
Combined with my multicultural upbringing, these experiences have shaped my belief that there is rarely a single "right" way to eat. The best nutrition care respects your health, your culture, your values, and your everyday life while helping you move toward your goals.
More isn't always better.
But paying attention matters.
You can feel fine and still have health changes happening quietly in the background. Blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, and other markers can gradually drift over time...sometimes so slowly that you don't notice.
You may even get used to feeling a certain way and assume it's simply normal for you.
That's why I take a different approach to nutrition. I don't believe in automatically adding more tests, supplements, restrictions, or rules. I believe in taking a closer look at what's actually useful for you and focusing on what matters most, without trying to change everything at once.
Sometimes that means doing more. Sometimes it means recognizing that you don't need to.
Good nutrition care isn't about doing more. It's about doing what matters.

Nutrition, Ahead of Time
Think of it like working with a trainer -- but for how you eat.
Medication can lower a blood sugar number. It can't teach your body what to do with the next meal.
Most people are handed a diagnosis and a prescription, then left to figure out the food part alone. That's the gap this practice exists to close.
What that looks like in practice
Stopped guessing what his CGM numbers meant and stopped fearing food because of them.
Went from "the doctor said watch your sodium" to an actual weekly meal rhythm that works with her family's cooking.
