I'm Zahra. I'm a Registered Dietitian. I graduated from Metropolitan State University of Denver in 2012 with a Bachelors of Science in Human Nutrition and Dietetics. I completed my Dietetic Internship at the University of Northern Colorado in 2015. I have a Bachelors of Science in biochemistry and a Masters of Science in biology. Basically, I have studied a lot of science and a lot of research and I have continued with this through the present day.
I have worked with the ketogenic diet with children with epilepsy and I was interested in other uses of this amazing way of eating. I incorporated it into my own life, after having my last child and it worked wonders for me in losing the baby weight. However, besides weight loss, I noticed clearer thinking, and reduced inflammation (my skin was always red and cracked and I also had ulcerative colitis) With the keto way of eating, I was thriving.
I always struggled with weight and despite, constant exercise, and paying careful attention to my diet, I would always go up in weight or be stuck at a higher weight than I was comfortable with. The keto way of eating is the way I need to eat, in order not to deal with this problem anymore. It is something that works for me when other ways of eating failed.
My goal with you as my client is to find the way that works for you. This is not a one-size fits all approach. I will tailor an eaiting plan with your needs and history in mind. We will work together and find the indivualized plan that meets your needs.
