It has been awhile since I have posted, but today I have big news: I’ve opened a nutrition center in Pasadena, CA called Nutrinic!
Nutrinic is a place for you to send your friends and family who could benefit from eating healthier or who want to learn how to incorporate more plant-based meals. And we have video-based consulting for those not in Southern California.
Read more about us in this press release.
Over the years, my small practice focused primarily on helping vegans and aspiring vegans to develop healthy eating habits. I will continue this work through Nutrinic, however our focus is on plant-based diets as therapeutic treatment and prevention of the major cardiovascular diseases, which together are the number one killer in America.
Our approach is different because we go beyond education by focusing on skill acquisition and habit building to sustain long-term change. Our goal is not successful diets, but new lifestyles.
Our services:
- A one-time nutrition check-in to review your current diet and learn how you can make improvements.
- The Fundamentals: a more intensive look at your eating patterns with a focus on addressing shortcomings and learning new skills and habits. Includes before and after lipid panels.
- Want to go all-in, revamp your relationship with food, and learn the skills for continued health from shopping to cooking to habit formation? Our 21-day program is coming soon.
I have been a Registered Dietitian for 13 years and involved in the plant-based/vegan world for two decades and now is a time like no other. The evidence for the efficacy of plant-based diets in the prevention of disease is growing daily, as is the availability of vegan options in grocery stores and restaurants. It’s an exciting time!
This next chapter is big and I’m elated for what the future holds for plant-based nutrition. Thank you for being a part of this with me! Also please note that some changes are going to come to my website(s), please stay tuned.
Ps. We are having a small office warming party this Saturday at 5pm, if you’re local and would like to come, please let me know and I’ll happily send you the details.
Pps. You can support my work directly, here.
Congrats, Matt, this sounds terrific! Fun name, too. I’m sure this is both the culmination of a lot of work to get to this point and also a beginning / next chapter of your work! I am excited to visit when I’m in town visiting family one of these days (my sister’s in Encino, and my parents in Mission Viejo).
I’m in the throws of dietetic internship research and application preparations for February – ah! 🙂 Alternately overwhelming and fascinating/exciting!

I just saw your call for research interns on your website – can I share this with Bastyr’s DPD student job board on your behalf? I don’t know if the timing is right for me, but I’d love to support and play a supporting role in the research if that is possible!
Can we chat about that soon?

Yes, please do share! Thank you. And keep me updated with what you are up to. I’ve had interns before so I’m familiar with the preceptor requirements. Hope all is well!
Hi Matt I’m interested in attending the office warming on Saturday. Could you send me more information, please? I’m so excited and happy for you!

Congratulations! I’m so proud of hearing about your success, especially as a fellow plant based RDN myself (in Texas). I hope you’re a member of the vegetarian DPG. I am (although not too active) but you would be an incredible asset. Anyway I found your info when. I was looking up a Christmas dinner recipe on the VRG website. Thanks for promoting the goods on veg eating.

PS– my sister lives near your office and is a vegan so I told her about your clinic and for her to help spread the word.
Hi Roaxana, Thanks so much! I definitely am a member of vndpg- I’m a past chair in fact. They are a great resource. And thanks for letting your sister know!
