Registered Dietitian

Belly Health is a virtual nutrition practice rewriting the narrative of how nutrition care works with our values of patient-centric, culturally competent, accessible care. Our team of Registered Dietitians specializes in treating and managing chronic GI conditions using evidence-based functional, integrative, and clinical protocols that come straight from the science. At Belly, we understand that food and nutrition are intimately connected to who we are –  our dietitians go beyond the standard intake, attempting to connect with each patient in the context of their culture and in a language they feel at home in. All of this is made possible by our telehealth model, which is molded by our belief in making GI nutrition care accessible to all our patients.
