At The Better Nutrition Program (BNP), we keep things simple: better nutrition means better health. That’s why we’re on a mission to make personalized nutrition practical and accessible for everyone—helping people make better choices, one step at a time.

As the founder of BNP, I’ve spent over 25 years dedicated to creating resources that simplify nutrition and help people live healthier, more fulfilling lives. I also have the privilege of serving as the Nutrition Director for UC-Irvine’s Susan Samueli Integrative and Functional Medicine Fellowship, where I mentor the next generation of healthcare leaders. Together, we’re working to rewrite the rules of wellness with integrative, personalized approaches to health.

Throughout my career, I’ve been honored to be recognized for my work, including being named Hollywood’s Leading Nutritionist (InStyle) and one of CNN’s Top 100 Health Makers. My books, Recipes for IBS and Mom Energy, reflect my passion for making better choices accessible to all, and I’m thrilled to be releasing my third book—my “love letter to better”—with Harper Collins in January 2026.

What drives me is the belief that better is always possible. I love helping people take complex health challenges and turn them into simple, actionable steps that stick—whether I’m speaking to audiences, mentoring professionals, or working one-on-one. And yes, I believe humor and joy are essential ingredients in this process!

When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me exploring trails with my dogs, mentoring up-and-coming health leaders, or enthusiastically defending my latest NBA hot takes. More than anything, I’m here to show that better choices aren’t just possible—they’re essential for creating healthier, happier lives.
