Hi, I'm Sharon
Sharon Ona, MS, CNS, LDN | Certified Nutrition Specialist & Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist
I'm a functional medicine clinician and integrative nutritionist based in Los Angeles, CA and Portland, OR who helps people make sense of the often confusing world of food and nutrition. My approach is compassionate, evidence-based, and built around what's doable in your real life.
I work with a range of health concerns, with a special focus on cardiometabolic health: high cholesterol, fatty liver, hypertension, insulin resistance, prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, PCOS/PMOS, and metabolically-driven weight concerns. I also love supporting clients with ADHD and neurodivergence, who often need nutrition strategies that make planning, cooking, and eating easier on busy or low-energy days. I take a cellular-first view of health, because when cells are well nourished, tissues, organs, and whole body systems can work better.
How I work
I listen first, and I'm curious about your story. Then I offer ideas, ask questions, and help you figure out which solutions fit you. You're the expert on your life, and my job is to help you build on your strengths so you feel more capable and confident in feeding yourself well. Eating well doesn't have to be complicated, and small, consistent steps are what lead to lasting change. There's no judgment here, and there's often a little humor.
Clients tell me sessions feel like talking with a trusted friend who also happens to have clinical training. I love seeing clients feel more at ease in their bodies and more confident in their ability to nourish themselves in both mind and body.
A little about me
I'm a Certified Nutrition Specialist, a board-certified credential that requires a graduate-level degree in nutrition (or related field), supervised clinical experience, and a national board exam. I earned my master's in Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine from the University of Western States and am a member of the American Nutrition Association.
I spent nearly ten years in the Pacific Northwest before moving back to my hometown of Los Angeles. When I'm not working, you'll find me hiking, cycling, saying hi to every dog I meet, and wandering farmers' markets for inspiration.
I offer virtual nutrition counseling to clients across the U.S., with both insurance-based and private-pay options.
