Nutrition Services

Nutrition plays a central role in your health. It’s also a key part of our wellness philosophy at the Susan Samueli Integrative Health Institute.

To function properly, our bodies need the right amount and right types of foods and nutrients. Energy levels, appetite, strength, sleep quality and mood all rely on balanced nutrition. Even small nutrient deficiencies or imbalances can impact how our bodies perform.

At the Samueli Institute, we believe that food is medicine. It has the ability to prevent, treat and cure many chronic illnesses. Food delivers energy and tells our body how to function at a cellular level. It also connects us to our social environment, and these relationships improve our overall well-being.

  • Digestive issues
  • Hormones and fertility issues
  • Thyroid health

If you have a concern or condition that is not listed above, please contact us at 949-824-7000 to find out how we can help.

Your one-on-one consultation with our registered dietitian may include:

  • Measuring your body composition with our InBody 770 assessment tool
  • Performing specialized lab work to assess your baseline vitamin, mineral, amino acid and antioxidant status
  • Discussing your health history, current symptoms, food preferences and goals
  • Creating a personalized nutrition plan to help you reach your goals
  • Determining a follow-up schedule to regularly assess your progress and make adjustments as needed

We also offer a group-visit program featuring new topics each month. Each small-group session explores an aspect of current nutrition research and how to apply this science to your daily life.
