Nutrition for your goals. And your real life.
— WHO I WORK WITHINDIVIDUAL COACHING

Build muscle, fuel training, or work on body composition. Turn your goals and scan results into a practical eating plan with the 90-day DEXA + nutrition program—or choose coaching without a scan.
PARENTS & ATHLETES

School, practice, tournaments—and a growing athlete to feed. Get practical help with meals, snacks, hydration, and game-day routines, plus clear answers to nutrition questions. We focus on energy, development, and confidence around food, without making weight the goal.
TEAMS, CLUBS & COACHES
A team-wide approach
You want nutrition to be part of your team’s routine. Bring athletes, parents, and coaches together through practical workshops, shared resources, or ongoing support. We shape the topics and scope around your sport, age group, and season, with a custom proposal for your team.
Simple pricing. Measurable outcomes.
— WORKING TOGETHERStart with a free 20-minute consultation to discuss your goals and coaching options. Coaching includes an initial session and three follow-up sessions. We track progress together and can review a follow-up DEXA scan if you choose to get one. A scan is optional.

I Specialize in 1-on-1 Nutrition Support for:
-
DEXA, VO₂max, resting metabolic rate, and bloodwork together give you a clearer picture of your next decade than any annual physical will. For clients who want to know where they actually stand — visceral fat, cardiorespiratory fitness, lean mass reserve — we establish a baseline, build the nutrition around it, and track the trajectory. Available in San Francisco with in-person testing, or virtually with a provider near you.
-
If you've spent years tracking, restricting, and quietly bracing before every dinner reservation, more restriction is not the answer. My approach leads with adequacy: enough protein, enough food, and the lightest tracking that works for you — sometimes an app, sometimes photos, sometimes nothing at all. There are no good foods or bad foods here. If your relationship with food goes beyond what coaching should handle, I'll tell you honestly and help you find the right specialist.
-
Long sessions, cold water, unpredictable schedules, and almost nobody talking about fueling for any of it. Whether you're doing dawn patrol at Ocean Beach or paddling out of Ala Moana, the demands are real: sustained aerobic output, upper-body strength, and recovery between sessions. I surf too. We'll build something that survives a 5am and a truck-bed breakfast.
-
Evidence-based guidance on supplements, hydration, and travel nutrition—clearly focused on what’s worth using, what’s unnecessary, and practical strategies for staying consistent with nutrition and fluids when routines and time zones change.
-
Training for the SF Marathon, Ironman Kona, or the Honolulu Marathon and still bonking at mile 18? Most endurance athletes I meet are under-fueled, under-carbed, and chronically hangry. We build intake around your actual training load, fix the timing, and protect the lean mass you're burning through. Your VO₂max data tells us what you're spending. Your nutrition should account for it.
-
The number that surprises most men isn't their weight. It's their lean mass percentile. Muscle declines quietly starting in your 30s, and "eating pretty healthy" doesn't stop it. Protein-first coaching plus strength work reverses the trend — no carnivore diet, no fasting protocol, no supplement stack. If your doctor mentioned your labs and you've been meaning to do something about it, this is that.
-
Strength training and adequate protein do more for body composition in your 40s and 50s than any restriction plan will. DEXA also gives us your bone mineral density, which makes this one of the few nutrition programs where we can watch bone and muscle together over time. We eat enough. We lift. We measure. That's the plan.
-
He runs marathons and eats constantly. She gained weight trying to keep up. Same groceries, same dinner, wildly different needs. I coach partners together with individual targets and separate check-ins, built on one shared grocery framework — because the person you eat with every night has more influence on your nutrition than I ever will. Partner pricing available.
I’m Kai — the dietitian you didn’t know you needed.
I’m a Registered Dietitian, avid surfer, and forever student of life. My work brings together sports nutrition, everyday eating, and sustainable behavior change.
As a DEXA technician, I have worked with hundreds on their body composition, giving me a look at the connection between training, nutrition, and lifestyle.
After working with athletes at Stanford and supporting clients in Honolulu and San Francisco, I built my practice to help individuals, teams, and families turn nutrition information into useful action.
We might work on fueling training, building muscle, planning everyday meals, or supporting a youth or club team.
I look forward to working with you and seeing what we can achieve.
The Athlete Journal is a free publication I write on Substack.
Don’t think you’re an athlete?
Think again. You were born to move, run, jump, and be strong. An athlete doesn’t just play sports and there is one within you.
Every week, I post a new topic, sharing valuable information on relevant nutrition and performance topics gathered from my experiences working with clients.
If you’re like me, and eager to expand your knowledge, I highly recommend giving it a read.
