About Nikki Saheb, MS, RDN, CNS

 

I am a Registered Dietitian, Certified Nutrition Specialist and the founder of Salamati Nutrition. I adopt a functional medicine approach where the goal is to address imbalances in the body's systems and restore optimal health and wellness. Together, we figure out the root causes of your symptoms and create a personalize nutrition and lifestyle plan that addresses your specific health needs and goals. I believe it takes much more than a “meal plan” to get you to feeling your best inside and out.

I knew I wanted to be a dietitian since high school, but after completing my undergrad I felt unfulfilled from learning about nutrition only through the conventional lens and decided to continue my education in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine. After receiving my Masters I decided to pursue a dual tract certification as a CNS and RDN.

I’ve worked as a nutritionist in an outpatient addiction and eating disorder treatment center to support individuals on their road to recovery. I also spent some time as a clinical RD working at a physical medicine and rehabilitation hospital.

I discovered what lights me up the most is working 1-on-1 counseling clients through behavior and lifestyle change. That was when I decided to purse my private practice, Salamati Nutrition where I use an individualized evidenced-based approach to offer nutritional therapy and lifestyle coaching.

I help my clients develop a loving relationship towards food, their body, and their mind.

I’m anti-diet, pro-choice, and passionate about helping women no longer feel like they’re at war with their own bodies.

I’m a proud first generation Iranian-American, my animal doppelganger is a corgi, and I live in the sunny and beautiful Los Angeles, CA.

Whether I’m hiking, walking along the beach, shopping at the farmers market, or going for a bike ride I am at my happiest when I’m outside. One of my goals for Summer 2023 is to finally learn how to surf and write a recipe e-Book for a hormone healthy diet.
