Personalized Nutrition Counseling in Beverly Hills
I am Mary Donkersloot, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with a lifelong passion for empowering individuals through smart eating. Growing up on an Iowa farm, I developed an early appreciation for fresh, wholesome food and the joy of cooking. After earning my degree in nutrition from South Dakota State University and completing an internship at Oregon Health Sciences University, I began my career as a clinical dietitian. Recognizing the need for personalized nutrition guidance, I established a private practice in Beverly Hills, where I specialize in weight management, eating disorders, and chronic disease prevention.My approach combines practical education with hands-on support, including in-home nutrition makeovers and online counseling. I have authored four books, including The Simply Gourmet Diabetes Cookbook, and collaborate with major food companies to promote healthier choices. My Smart Eating Show series on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook provides accessible, research-based nutrition advice to help viewers make sustainable lifestyle changes. With decades of experience and a commitment to individualized care, I strive to help clients achieve their wellness goals through mindful, enjoyable eating.
