Accepting New Patients
Symphoneats—evidence-based nutrition counseling that integrates health, culture, and complex medical expertise to help you build confidence, wellness, and peace with food.
Diabetes Specialist (CDCES) and Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RD/RDN) in Los Angeles.
Nutrition is part of your healthcare.
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.
You may already know what you're "supposed" to eat. I can help you understand what actually matters for your health, why it matters, and what to do with that information in 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.
Meet Katherine
Dedicated Nutrition Care for Diabetes, Optimal Nutrition, and Chronic Health Conditions
I'm Katherine! I'm a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RD/RDN) and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES). Diabetes is where I specialize, but I also help you nutritionally manage conditions that don't forgive guesswork: diabetes, malnutrition, disordered eating, optimal growth, etc.
This isn't a scripted, algorithmic appointment. It starts with me asking what's actually going on for you, not a form and a lecture, and it stays that way.
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.
Your nutrition today can shape how you feel and function tomorrow.
Nutrition touches more of your health than you may realize.
Maybe it's the 3pm crash you've stopped questioning. The groceries that sat in the fridge while takeout won again. Reaching for whatever's fastest when hunger hits hard, then feeling bloated an hour later. Waking up tired, or not sleeping well, without knowing if it's too little food or too much. None of it happens all at once. It's a slow, quiet erosion, easy to miss until it's just how things are.
You may even get used to feeling a certain way and assume it's simply normal for you.
Just like exercise helps you hold onto the strength and mobility you already have, being thoughtful about nutrition helps you protect how you feel and function, before those slow, quiet changes take it from you.
I'll help you understand what matters for you and focus on what's actually useful: not more rules, restrictions, or things to worry about.
Good nutrition care isn't about doing more. It's about protecting what you already have.
Curious how this might work?

Areas of Expertise
Diabetes & Metabolic Health
Avoiding the number on your last lab result isn't denial. It's just what happens when no one tells you what to do with it.
Children and Family
If dinner feels like a negotiation, that's not you doing it wrong. That's just feeding a kid.
Weight Management
If "eat less, move more" hasn't worked, that's not a willpower problem. That's a sign the advice was too simple.
Complex Health
A new diagnosis comes with a lot to absorb at once. You don't have to have it figured out before you reach out.
Nutrition, Ahead of Time
Think of it like working with a trainer for how you eat, so the years ahead feel like more of you, not less.
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.
Regained strength and muscle after frailty from liver disease.
Harmonize with food. Eat with peace.
