Meet our Nutrition Counselor, Deepthi Harkar, MS RDN LDN
​
​
Hi, I'm Deepthi Harkar, a Registered Dietitian and Licensed Nutritionist with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals and families on their path to better health. I bring a compassionate, holistic, and culturally sensitive approach to care - empowering clients with practical, personalized strategies they can sustain long-term.
As part of this practice, I offer 1:1 nutrition consultations and group classes to support patients in managing and reversing chronic conditions, improving overall wellness, and developing a healthier relationship with food. My specialties include diabetes prevention and reversal, weight management, digestive health, bariatric nutrition, plant-based diets, and culturally tailored meal planning. I work closely with your physician to ensure your nutrition care is fully aligned with your medical goals and overall health plan.
My academic background includes an MSc in Foods & Nutrition, a Master's in Health Promotion, and advanced certifications in preventative and plant-based nutrition. Whether you're newly diagnosed, navigating a health transition, or just looking for support to make sustainable changes, I provide evidence-based, realist guidance tailored to your life.
In our work together - whether individually or in a group setting - you can expect a positive, motivational experience where your needs, culture and goals come first. I don't believe in rigid diets or one-size-fits-all advice. Instead, I help you build a flexible, enjoyable way of eating that fits into your real life.
When I'm not supporting clients, you'll find me experimenting with plant-forward recipes, practicing yoga, or exploring global food cultures - all of which enrich the way I connect with and inspire others.
If you're ready to feel your best, I'd love to be part of your care team. Whether through a personalized consultation or a group class, I'm here to help you take confident, meaningful steps toward lasting health.
