Hi, I'm Olcay

From tourism to nutrition

For many years I worked in tourism, at a busy and often irregular pace. Through all those years, my curiosity about nutrition and healthy living never faded. Eventually, I decided to turn that interest into a career. I graduated at the top of my class in Nutrition and Dietetics at Acıbadem University, qualifying as a dietitian in Türkiye.

I completed the “Longevity Dietitian” training program to deepen my knowledge of healthy aging. After settling in California, I earned the Precision Nutrition nutrition coaching certification. This training allows me to combine what I’ve learned with a coaching approach and tailor my support to each client’s needs.

I’ve been through this myself

In my thirties, I began facing several health challenges. I was diagnosed with prediabetes, insulin resistance, high cholesterol and hypothyroidism. Then came perimenopause. Along the way I worked with many dietitians and tried countless diets, from the popular to the classic. Some worked for a while; some made things worse.

I know how hard it is to stay healthy with a demanding work schedule. I also know how hard it can be to know what to do and still struggle to follow through.

When experience meets science

My training helped me make sense of what I’d experienced. I saw why some things didn't work, and that lasting change comes from small, sustainable steps. Today I bring both sides together with my clients: scientific knowledge and lived experience.

For me, the goal is to age with strength, energy and joy. I want the same for my clients.

My personal experience isn’t a substitute for medical care. If you have a health condition, please continue working with your doctor. But I know how different it feels to walk that path with someone who truly understands.

Who I work with

Anyone, wherever they live, who wants to change something for their health. Sessions are in English or Turkish. Being able to talk openly with someone who truly understands you makes a real difference.
