Best Nutritionist Oakland Near Me

4worldlovers: Hello! I am Holistic Nutritionist, Food Behavior Counselor, and Social Worker. My practice specializes in supporting clients with the intention to heal their relationship with nourishment through co-occurring mood balance, endocrine, autoimmune, and digestive conditions. We bridge Holistic Nutrition and Mental Health to engage your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I integrate my knowledge of mental health and trauma, functional nutrition, holistic healing modalities, clinical testing, intuitive eating, and mindfulness practice to support our process.

I offer Virtual Nutrition and Food Behavior Counseling, Group Workshops, and Corporate Programming. There are a number of ways we can connect. Please reach out to see how we can work together by either giving me a ring, e-mailing or booking a free discovery call.

“IF YOU NEED GUIDANCE WITH YOUR HEALTH AND EATING HABITS, DON’T HESITATE TO CONTACT MEGAN. SHE IS A VERY SWEET AND UNDERSTANDING PERSON THAT PUTS HER HEART INTO CREATING A PLAN THAT WORKS FOR YOU, BECAUSE SHE TRULY BELIEVES IN FOOD FOR HEALING.”— EM, MKN Client

Navigating your path to optimal health on your own can have its challenges. Take heart in knowing that I am with you every step of the way, here for you as your personal guide to good health. We will define what health means for you to co-create a custom plan of care and prioritize healing the root cause of any stress, depletion, and imbalance. We will work at your own pace to make lasting, positive change that helps you find peace.

“I NEVER IN MY LIFE THOUGHT THAT I COULD GET TO A POINT WHERE I'M NOT OBSESSING AND STRESSING OVER WHAT I SHOULD BE EATING OR GET TO A PLACE WHERE MY STOMACH DOESN'T HURT AFTER EVERY MEAL. IT'S STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS BUT MEGAN HAS TAUGHT ME SO MUCH. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND HER!” - MKN Client

“I was looking for a holistic nutritionist who could help me work with the sensitivity I was having to various foods. The list was long. And while she was beyond helpful at identifying the foods that are best suited for my body and pairing them to have balanced (and seasonal) meals, she also helped me with all the emotions and old beliefs I had with diet and exercise (and then some). It was a truly personalized and tailored experience that helped me heal. I left our time together (though I wanted it to continue forever) loving and accepting my body for what is it, being grateful for what it continues to do for me, and being able to enjoy food. ALL FOOD. Without guilt, shame, or the “should’s”.” - MKN Client

Trust that finding food freedom while healing the body is possible. In our day-to-day life, we often get swept up in the hustle and forgo tending to our basic self-care needs. Megan Knipp Nutrition’s Eating for Health and Wellness Tips are what we call the “low-hanging fruit”. These are 22 holistic health practices (not rules) that can positively impact your overall well-being to improve your digestion, energy, mental health, and relationship with food.

Look, I’ve been there, too. Scared, confused, unsure what to even eat or what direction to take next. What I wanted and needed was someone to cut through all the overwhelming information, to guide me in practical and do-able steps to improve my health and well-being, and encourage me to stay on track with the new changes in my life. I’d like to be that for you.

But don’t just take my word for it. Here’s what my clients are saying:

“Michelle is curious, caring, supportive, knowledgeable, willing to problem solve with you, and makes health more than just ‘calories in, calories out.’”

“Michelle offers customized advice and suggestions, rather than a one size fits all plan. She is a delight to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their health and outlook on life.”

“At our first meeting Michelle expressed such enthusiasm about food I couldn’t help but find myself really excited to explore new eating habits that I thought would never work with my lifestyle.”

“Michelle is a master at culling the diamonds from the voluminous info–often contradictory–about healthy eating. She really listens to you, offering useful tips on how to uplevel your daily food experience. Her pointing out EASY ways to optimize digestive health has been invaluable.”

“After struggling with digestive and tummy trouble for a year, visiting many doctors and finding no improvements, a friend recommended me to Michelle. Not only did I learn a lot about general nutrition and health from Michelle, but I feel great now.”
