I didn't intend to
specialize in PCOS, but it seemed wherever I looked, and whatever specialty
I worked in...PCOS was there. I finally decided to accept that this
might be my calling. The more I learned, the more I realized that
women were not getting the right kind of information. And they were
spending lots of money on lots of wrong information.
This network is my
mission--and in learning and training other colleagues, I've learned how
much support and power there is when people come together to solve problems.
I especially love the fact that we are a combination of people with training
as well as life experience, not just one or the other. I hope you find
someone on this page who you can reach out to and begin your journey of
health, understanding...and peace of mind.
Ironically, I have
no children myself. I was fortunate, however, to come from a wonderful
family that has given me unconditional love and support for my entire life.
I love knowing that the children our program helps to create are coming into
families who also love them very much, and who have such potential to build
great futures for themselves based on that love. |

Working as a
Dietitian in private practice, I find so often how much clients already
know. Nutrition information is available everywhere you turn-online, in
magazines, and on TV (for example Dr. Oz)! I enjoy being an expert
guide for individuals to fine tune their diets and daily routines to obtain
the success they are looking for.
I enjoy working with
women who have PCOS because the focus is on things that are in their control
vs. so many factors that are not. I also enjoy working with clients on
weight loss, cholesterol reduction, diabetes, kidney disease, cancer,
gastro-intestinal disease, and migraine.
I stay very current
by attending annual nutrition conferences including Scripps Integrative
Medicine’s Natural Supplement symposium. I subscribe to many evidenced
based journals and periodicals. I belong to the American Dietetic
Association’s practice groups for Weight Management and Dietitians in
Integrative and Functional Medicine.

I
received a degree in food and nutrition from California State
University, Long Beach. I have been practicing in Orange County in many
fields of dietetics including eating disorders, chemical dependency, elderly
nutrition, and disease prevention.
I
have extensive experience working with people with disordered eating,
insulin resistance, diabetes prevention and weight management. Through
individualized counseling and group education, I utilize up-to-date research
in the field of nutrition to promote health and prevent disease.
I have a passion for helping others to achieve body satisfaction, weight
management, and simply enhanced health. It is important to reconnect the
mind to the body by paying attention to biological hunger versus emotional
hunger. I believe that a healthy relationship with food is necessary for
success. There is no diet or exercise plan that will fit the lives of every
individual. The best way to achieve your goals is through individual
analysis. Your nutritional plan will be based on your goals, your needs, and
your body. |

My goal is to come up with real life solutions in a highly individualized
setting. I am a Registered Dietitian who has been working in the area
of nutrition for over 17 years. I firmly believe in uncovering the why’s
behind particular lifestyle choices before offering direction for change. I
also believe that a lifetime of training the senses has gone into a person’s
food choices, and it is not a simplistic approach that works; but a pulling
off layer by layer to uncover what needs have to be addressed.
On the
outside, I have the acne scars to show the skin problems that were just a
symptom of something changing inside.
It was visited
with some hot flashes here and there. Medically, I was treated with birth
control, aldactone, serotonin uptake inhibitors and sometimes just a shake
of the head and a pat on the back to wait it out.
Personally, my
struggle with extreme mood swings, ovulatory pain, and adult acne in my
mid-30’s was met with some reluctance to diagnose PCOS. I brought
information to my doctors regarding PCOS, but they denied that was my issue.
Interestingly enough, they placed me on medication used for PCOS and my
ovulation problems and acne cleared up beautifully but not without
unwelcomed side effects.
Simple will
power to cut out a food or lifestyle choice leaves a hole. If it is not
filled with a healthy solution, it is simply a vacuum that will substitute
anything and everything to fill the void.
I desire to
encourage and guide my clients in making healthy and realistic lifestyle
choices that fit into their world. Simple will power to cut out a food or
lifestyle choice leaves a hole. If it is not filled with a healthy solution,
it is simply a vacuum that will substitute anything and everything to fill
the void.
The number of
women I meet and counsel has affirmed my suspicions of the need for a
comprehensive and tender approach to this oft misunderstood syndrome. I
desire to offer realistic, individualized solutions in an understanding and
sensitive envioronment that seeks to treat the whole woman. |

It is my passion to work with women in creating excellent health and
well-being. It is a passion born from having experienced the frustration of
not being listened to or compassionately cared for in the traditional
medical establishment, after experiencing a life-threatening viral
infection. I had one specialist tell me that my staggering fatigue, brain
fog, thinning hair etc were all an attempt to “get attention”!
Fortunately my solid science and medical experience as a dietitian is what
helped me figure out the problem(s) and to take charge of my healing and
recovery. This experience has shaped the way in which I work with my
clients and continues to inspire me to help other women.
I
am a Nutritionist / Registered Dietitian and a Licensed Esthetician who
works from an integrative mind/body approach. My practice is dedicated to

sound approach to my work. I work in partnership always respecting that you

For over 10 years,
I’ve shared my passion for food and its impact on health and disease
management with patients and clients. Now I’m excited to add PCOS and
infertility to my specialty areas. PCOS has personal importance to me as I
learned that several close friends and a family member have struggled with
infertility for years with no information on nutrition from their physicians
beyond a one page list of “dos” and “don’ts”. It is now my passion to see
that women are given accurate information they need to make the best choices
for their health and the future of their families. I want to empower women
with the knowledge that they have lifestyle choices to help their PCOS.
While not all women
with PCOS are overweight, I am also certified in Adult Weight Management to
assist clients with healthy weight loss to improve their fertility. I
enjoy counseling clients in the areas of heart health (high blood pressure
and cholesterol management) and wellness as well.
With our society's
frantic pace, fast food and portion distortion fueling the obsession with
fad dieting, it's no wonder that we lose touch with what balanced healthy
eating truly is. I work with all of my clients to develop a healthy
relationship with food so it is no longer a source of stress, guilt, or
deprivation for them. Beyond satisfying our taste buds, food can also
be a powerful tool to maintain health and vitality.
I hope to work with a limited number of
clients over the next several months via tele-counseling while I prepare for
the birth of my first child in December. But please don’t hesitate to
contact me. I look forward to devoting more time to my private practice
after I return from my maternity leave in early 2010. |

I work in a

substance abuse/eating disorders. I also teach at Bowling Green State
University.
I
am a 32 year old dietitian with PCOS. I was diagnosed after having
difficulty getting pregnant. Once I received the diagnosis, so
many of my symptoms made sense: hypoglycemia,
fatigue, mood swings, difficulty sleeping, adult acne..... But I
didn't fit the typical profile for a woman with PCOS. I was athletic
and muscular, not overweight. This made it even more difficult to
believe that I had this disorder. And I was a dietitian with this
disorder. All of a sudden I was seeing myself as the overweight
dietitian that no one respected or trusted. I was also afraid of never
having the family I had always wished for. Luckily I was able to
conceive and after a turbulent pregnancy, I delivered boy/girl twins!
I have returned to a healthy weight, but still struggle with mood
swings, depression and insomnia. Now that I have come to understand PCOS
and its intricacies, I would love to help other women who are
struggling with PCOS and its many negative symptoms with nutrition
interventions.

I feel very
passionate about womens' health issues - too many of my clients have
struggled with various symptoms related to PCOS and/or body weight/body
image without any intervention or referrals by their primary MD. I feel
women are amazing given the depth of responsibility in their lives and
many challenges they face with the incredible hormonal changes that take
place throughout their lifespan.
I feel it is
very powerful when a woman is in my office and I give her a chance to
explore her weight history/symptoms in a very thoughtful and mindful way -
truly listening to the story and providing a chance to find powerful
solutions. My goal is for women to leave my office feeling good about
themselves and their plan for stabilizing or decreasing their body weight,
improving body image or PCOS symptoms.
My background includes a 19 year military career (last 12 as a reservist).
I currently hold a civilian position as clinical nutrition manager in
Dayton, OH at the Wright Patterson Medical Center.

I have been a registered dietitian for 9 years.
Youngstown State University in Youngstown, OH is my alma mater, where I
earned my B.S.A.S in Dietetics. Licensed in both OH and PA, I currently
work as a clinical dietitian and outpatient nutrition counselor for Heritage
Valley Health System in Beaver, PA. As a Certified Diabetes Educator, I
specialize in Diabetes, Gestational Diabetes and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
Having suffered with PCOS myself, I have made it my life’s mission to help
women who are affected by this disease. I am also the founder of Hannah’s
Heart Ministries, an organization dedicated to serving those grieving
through infertility and pregnancy loss. |

Danielle Omar has the unique ability to reach beyond the drumbeat of
calories and carbs and into a world where nutrition is tangible, fun and
understandable.
Not only does she make wise food choices accessible to others, she also
meets them on a personal, realistic level.
Better yet, she makes it enjoyable. Many people fail to tackle their
weight loss and dietary issues because they’re afraid it’ll be hard and
boring. But that’s not the case with coaching from Danielle.
Danielle‘s
lively, straight-shooter personality makes it easy for clients to realize
nutrition can be interesting – and valuable.
Danielle brings real-life understanding to diet and nutritional
counseling. After all, she’s a working mom who has to balance her
professional pursuits with a busy home life. She knows how easy it can be
to fall into roller-coaster eating patterns when life gets hectic.
She also commands a solid media presence and has conducted interviews for
local news reports and major news and entertainment outlets such as the
Washington Post and the Food Network.
By
eliminating your struggles with food and diets, Danielle will open you up
to a new sense of freedom in life. Besides
helping you attain your health goals, she’ll provide you with a plan of
action that fits permanently into your lifestyle. In turn, you’ll discover
you have more time and energy for the activities and people who matter
most to you.
