Question 1

Can a dietitian help with IBS?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and IBS is my specialty. Most people with IBS have been told to manage stress, eat more fiber, or try a probiotic, and they're still struggling. My goal isn't only to manage your symptoms. It's to find what's driving them. As a Monash University certified low-FODMAP dietitian with more than 25 years of experience, I build a personalized plan around your symptoms, history, and life.

Question 2

Can a dietitian help with SIBO?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Diet plays a real role in SIBO. The right plan can calm symptoms like bloating, gas, constipation, and diarrhea while you and your doctor work on treatment, and it can help lower the chance of symptoms coming back afterward. I work alongside your medical care, not in place of it.

Question 3

What is the low-FODMAP diet, and how long do I stay on it?

Accepted Answer

Low-FODMAP is a short-term, three-phase plan: elimination, reintroduction, and personalization. It's not a forever diet. The elimination phase is short, then we reintroduce foods one group at a time to find your personal triggers. The goal is the most varied diet your gut can handle. I'm Monash University certified and the author of The Beginner's Guide to Low-FODMAP.

Question 4

Can you help me lose weight if I've tried everything?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most people who come to me have tried several diets already, and the problem is almost never willpower. Restrictive dieting often costs you muscle and slows your metabolism, so the weight comes back. I build a structured, personalized plan focused on adding the right foods, not depriving yourself, so the changes last.

Question 5

Do you work with people on GLP-1 medications?

Accepted Answer

Yes. On a GLP-1, getting enough protein and keeping your muscle matters more than ever, because rapid weight loss without the right nutrition can cost you muscle along with fat. I help you eat in a way that supports fat loss, protects muscle, and builds habits that can last if you come off the medication.

Question 6

Do you take insurance?

Accepted Answer

Insurance billing is available for eligible PPO plans. If I'm out of network with your plan, I provide a superbill you can submit for reimbursement.

Question 7

Do you offer virtual sessions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I see clients virtually nationwide over secure video, and in person in Beverly Hills, California and West Palm Beach, Florida.

Question 8

What do programs include, and what do they cost?

Accepted Answer

Programs run 3, 6, or 12 months and include weekly private sessions, a secure client platform where you can upload meal photos and track key health metrics, plus recipes, meal ideas, shopping lists, and exercise guidance. Investment ranges from $600 to $900 per month, depending on your program, level of accountability, and commitment length.
