Janice Dada, Mph, Rdn, Cdces, Ceds Email & Phone Number

Janice Dada is a Certified Eating Disorders Registered Dietitian (CEDRD), Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES), and a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. As the owner of SoCal Nutrition & Wellness, a private practice in Newport Beach, California, she specializes in helping individuals and families optimize their health, well-being, and eating behaviors. She offers personalized nutrition counseling using a non-diet, weight-inclusive framework, which means she helps clients work on health behaviors rather than promoting eating rules. She uses a client-centered model of care and guides and supports her clients on their personal nutrition and wellness journey, which could be to improve a health outcome, improve their relationship with food and body image, to learn how to properly fuel for a sport, or best practices for feeding a family of people with different food preferences. Janice’s approach incorporates evidence-based nutrition principles along with an understanding of human behavior and psychology. This process looks different for everyone; there is certainly no “one size fits all.” For clients who have diabetes, Janice is one of few dietitians who offer a weight-inclusive, flexible approach to manage the condition. Instead of the traditional, rigid approach to diabetes care, she uses her diabetes expertise combined with her extensive background in intuitive eating and eating disorders to ensure her clients have the tools needed to manage their diabetes while also eating the food they love. To do this, Janice has developed a unique “Intuitive Eating for Diabetes'' framework, which will soon (April 2025) be published with New Harbinger Publications as her first book on the topic.In addition to individual counseling, Janice also brings her expertise to groups and organizations through workshops, training, presentations, and consulting on special projects. For example, Janice has provided workshops to visiting sports teams, reviewed a legal case as an expert witness, updated menus to include more variety and connect with the preference of residents, and provided in-office, employer-sponsored one-on-one private consultations to employees during lunch breaks.Janice's commitment to her clients' well-being is unwavering. She guides and supports them as they strive to make changes that match their values. Janice aims to conduct her nutrition counseling sessions in a gentle, supportive environment that moves at the client’s pace. Interested in learning more? Book a call here: www.socalnw.com/schedule
