Operationalizing Food as Medicine and nutrition strategy in real-world systems

Strategic, implementation-focused support across Food as Medicine, education, and nutrition-focused initiatives — from concept through execution.

Who I Am

I design and implement Food as Medicine and nutrition systems for healthcare, education, and community organizations.

Teams hire me to build the structure underneath nutrition initiatives — the curriculum, training, workflows, and clinical integration that turn an idea or strategy into something a team can actually run. I work most often inside academic medical centers, graduate training programs, community health systems, and emerging Food as Medicine initiatives.

Ways to Work Together

Examples of work include program design, curriculum development, menu and system evaluation, interdisciplinary training, and implementation strategy.

Program, Menu & Clinical Review‍ ‍

Typically a 3–6 week focused engagement, delivered as a written assessment and recommendations review with the team.

Program & Initiative Strategy & Design

Multi-month partnership; scope ranges from individual program design to multi-component nutrition strategy.

Training & Implementation

Single workshops through ongoing advisory; scope flexed to the team's stage and capacity.

My Approach

My work is grounded in implementation - designing systems and experiences that are evidence-informed, practical, and operationally realistic.

I focus on approaches that align with how people actually work, eat, and make decisions.

  • Engagements range from 3–6 week focused reviews to multi-month program design partnerships and ongoing advisory relationships. The right shape depends on where you are in the work — happy to think through it with you in a first conversation.

  • Both. I often come in at the concept stage to help shape a Food as Medicine or culinary medicine initiative before launch, but I also work with teams who have a program running and want a clinical and operational review before scaling — or who need training and implementation support to get something live.

  • Both. A focused review or training engagement can be a clean one-off. Program design and implementation work is typically multi-month, often with a follow-on advisory relationship as the program matures.

  • Most of my work is direct — I'm the nutrition voice on an interdisciplinary team. I collaborate closely with clinical leads, faculty, operations, and program directors, and I'm comfortable being the person who translates between nutrition science and the teams responsible for delivering it.

  • A 30-minute call to understand what you're building, what stage you're in, and where the friction is. From there, I'll either propose a scope or — if I'm not the right fit — point you toward someone who is.
