My Personal Story

Meet Maha, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist

Growing up in a Pakistani-American household in Southern California, I was exposed to many different cultures, languages, and cuisines. I grew up with a large family, and with that came a lot of family gatherings. It was often hard to eat healthy, especially with the regular access to delicious Pakistani, Indian, Mexican and Asian foods. I always had a sweet tooth, and realized at a young age what it was like to struggle with portion control. Food has always been an important part of our social settings, and I wanted to find a balance. Thus my motivation to become a dietitian was born!

Being a wife and mother of two picky eaters, while juggling a career at the same time, I’ve realized how hard it is to live a healthy lifestyle. It’s difficult to find the time, let alone the energy, to exercise and plan healthy meals for me and my family. Somehow, I’ve found a way to make it work. And if I can, so can you!
