Dn. Zartasha Khalid
Clinical Dietitian & Nutritionist
I specialize in weight management (loss and gain), PCOS nutrition, and creating personalized therapeutic diet and meal plans. With 8+ years of clinical experience, my evidence-based approach helps clients achieve their health goals through customized nutrition strategies.
My Story
My journey into nutrition and health began from a place of personal understanding. Like many of the clients I work with, I've experienced the frustration of conflicting diet advice, the exhaustion of restrictive eating, and the emotional toll of feeling disconnected from my body.
After completing my medical degree and becoming a Registered Dietitian, I realized that the traditional one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition wasn't working for most people, especially those from South Asian backgrounds. Our bodies, our cultural foods, and our lifestyles are unique, and they deserve personalized care.
Over the past 8+ years, I've helped hundreds of clients transform their relationship with food and their bodies. My approach combines evidence-based nutrition science with compassionate, culturally sensitive coaching. I believe that sustainable health comes from understanding your body, honoring your cultural foods, and building habits that fit your life, not from deprivation or rigid rules.
My Philosophy
No More Guilt, No More Shame
Food is not the enemy. I help you break free from the cycle of guilt and restriction that so many diets promote. Instead, we focus on nourishment, balance, and joy in eating.
Cultural Foods Are Welcome
Your traditional foods—dal, roti, sabzi, biryani—are part of who you are. I work with your cultural foods, not against them. We find ways to make your favorite meals work for your health goals.
Sustainable, Not Extreme
Quick fixes don't last. I focus on building sustainable habits that you can maintain for life. This means realistic changes that fit your schedule, your family, and your preferences.
Evidence-Based, Compassionate Care
Every recommendation is backed by science, but delivered with understanding and empathy. I know that changing eating habits is emotional work, and I'm here to support you through this.
