About Me

​

Hello!

I'm Makeda, a registered dietitian specializing in sustainable weight loss, bariatric nutrition, and healthy living. Whether you're navigating life after bariatric surgery, preparing for your procedure, or simply looking for a realistic, sustainable way to lose weight and feel your best, you're in the right place.

I created this space for busy people just like you: individuals who are juggling careers, families, and everything in between but still want to prioritize their health. I believe that with the right support and simple, effective strategies, you can achieve lasting results without extreme diets or impossible routines.

My Mission: My mission is to provide you with the guidance, support, and personalized nutrition strategies you need to not only qualify for bariatric surgery but also to achieve and maintain your weight loss goals following bariatric surgery—or through sustainable lifestyle changes if surgery isn't part of your path.

My Background: I hold a Master's degree in Dietetics and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Neuroscience. My extensive training and experience in bariatric nutrition enable me to tailor dietary plans that are not only effective but also sustainable for each person's unique needs. With years of practice in this specialized field, I have witnessed firsthand the incredible impact that proper nutrition can have on both weight loss and long-term health.

My Approach: I understand that bariatric surgery, or any major lifestyle change, is a significant step in your weight loss journey. I'm committed to being your trusted partner every step of the way. My approach is holistic, focusing not only on helping you shed excess weight but also on optimizing your overall health and well-being. I believe that nutrition is the cornerstone of success, and I'm here to provide you with evidence-based guidance, ongoing support, and practical strategies to ensure your long-term success.

What You Can Expect:

• Personalized Nutrition Plans: I will create a customized nutrition plan tailored to your specific surgical procedure (if applicable), medical history, dietary preferences, and lifestyle. This plan will help you meet your weight loss goals while ensuring you receive the essential nutrients your body needs.

• Education and Guidance: I will empower you with knowledge about proper nutrition, portion control, meal planning, and healthy eating habits. You will gain the skills and confidence to make informed food choices that support your long-term health.

• Ongoing Support: I will be your partner on this journey, providing ongoing support, motivation, and accountability. You won't be alone in your pursuit of a healthier, happier life.

• Results and Well-Being: My ultimate goal is to help you achieve your weight loss and health objectives, while also improving your overall quality of life. Together, we will celebrate your successes and overcome any challenges that arise.
