Helen’s interest in nutrition began in clinical nutrition, caring for high-acuity, complex patients at Stanford Hospital. She provides Medical Nutrition Therapy for a range of conditions, including cancer, malnutrition, gastrointestinal disorders, heart conditions, bariatric surgery, transplant, tube feeding, diabetes, and kidney disease.

Over time, Helen’s philosophy has shifted away from diet culture and weight-centric practices. She is passionate about helping people break free from food judgement, shame and guilt, embracing instead a more intuitive and joyful approach to eating and wellness. She loves training and mentoring aspiring dietitians. And she practices what she preaches, which is evidence-based, patient-centered care grounded in cultural humility.
