Prabha's Story

Why did she choose dietetics?

Prabha was born in India and adopted by a loving family in Michigan. While she transitioned well into her new family, the American diet was a different challenge. She developed multiple food sensitivities followed with a lack of nutrition counseling.
Food was no longer something she looked forward to, but a chore—an injustice she wanted to correct for other people.

Prabha chose to pursue dietetics at Oregon State University and simultaneously served the community with her nutrition knowledge. She began implementing her expertise with the Corvallis Police Department by developing a nutrition-focused wellness program as well as teaching nutrition education and culinary classes to children. Prabha also directed food safety training to the newly hired staff at her college’s dining hall and implemented wellness activities for her sorority to promote mental health.

After graduating, she accepted an internship with California State University. This program allowed her to promote wellness in a tasteful manner to a variety of populations in diverse settings throughout the Greater Sacramento Area.

After earning her credentials as a Registered Dietitian, she has a desire to improve nutrition education. She plans to use telehealth and videography to connect with a new audience by virtual counseling and producing educational videos. Through this medium, she can overcome healthcare illiteracy, provide nutrition services to patients on their own time, and make nutrition more approachable.

Nutrition Counseling and Programs at Placer Private Physicians

August 2020-Present

Prabha has counseled many patients to reframe food as their solution, rather than a problem. Prabha wants her patients to restore a healthy relationship with food and overall wellness because she understands the transformative power it has. Prabha has focused on weight loss- equipping patients with the tools to build a satisfying meal plan, avoid diet schemes, and sustain weight loss. Prabha offers guidance for cardiometabolic conditions- heart disease, diabetes, hormonal imbalances. Her favorite is assisting gastrointestinal/autoimmune conditions as she has lived through the frustrations of restrictive diets and has seen the impact on many loved ones. Prabha is lucky to be able to work outside of the standard insurance billing at her facility to offer counseling tailored to her patients needs. After paying a subscription fee of $10-15, patients have the luxury to request 30-45 min sessions at their desired frequency instead of the standard 3 month follow up. This medical model and timely care is one-of-a-kind.
