About Alina Miles, The nutrition checkpoint

Alina Miles, M.S., Nutrition Science Integrative Nutritionist & Wellness Coach I believe that healthy eating should be enjoyable, sustainable, and personalized—not restrictive or one-size-fits-all. Every person is different, which is why I take the time to understand each client's unique health history, lifestyle, food preferences, challenges, and goals. I then create a customized nutrition and wellness plan designed to fit your life—not force your life to fit a diet. My approach combines nutrition education, balanced meal planning, physical activity, stress-management strategies, and ongoing support. My goal is to give you the knowledge, tools, and confidence to make healthier choices and create habits that can last a lifetime. I especially enjoy helping clients discover that they can eat delicious, satisfying food, feel better, and achieve a healthy weight without constantly feeling hungry or deprived. My Approach to Nutrition There is no single diet that works for everyone. Instead of prescribing a generic meal plan, I develop an individualized program based on your specific needs, including your health history, lifestyle, food preferences, schedule, goals, and nutritional needs. Your personalized program may include: Customized meal planning Healthy weight management and sustainable weight loss Nutrition education Guidance on food choices and portion balance Physical activity and lifestyle recommendations Stress-management strategies Grocery shopping guidance Ongoing accountability and support My philosophy is simple: learn how to eat well, enjoy your food, and make healthy choices that you can maintain for life. Areas of Specialization Women's Nutrition During & After Menopause Menopause can bring significant changes to metabolism, body composition, energy levels, and nutritional needs. I help women navigate these changes through personalized nutrition and lifestyle strategies designed to support healthy weight management, strength, energy, and overall wellness. Gastrointestinal Health I work with clients seeking nutrition support for a variety of gastrointestinal concerns, including: IBS — Irritable Bowel Syndrome IBD — Inflammatory Bowel Disease SIBO — Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth Celiac disease GERD — Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Gastritis Nutrition strategies are individualized according to each client's needs, symptoms, lifestyle, and medical recommendations. Healthy Weight Management Healthy weight management should not mean starving yourself or eliminating everything you love. I create satisfying, balanced meal plans that provide plenty of nutritious food while taking your preferences and lifestyle into consideration. The goal is to help you achieve sustainable results while developing a healthier relationship with food. Healthy Lifestyle & Stress Management Our health is influenced by much more than what we eat. Sleep, physical activity, stress, daily routines, and other lifestyle factors can all play an important role in overall wellness. I help clients identify realistic lifestyle changes and practical strategies that can be incorporated into everyday life. Nutrition Services Individual Nutrition Counseling Your first session begins with a comprehensive review of your: Medical and nutrition history Current medications and supplements Eating habits and food preferences Physical activity Lifestyle and daily routine Personal health and wellness goals Using this information, I create a customized nutrition and wellness plan designed specifically for you. Follow-up sessions provide ongoing education, encouragement, accountability, and adjustments to your plan as your needs and goals change. This is not a one-size-fits-all diet. It is your personalized plan for your lifestyle. Virtual Nutrition Counseling Don't live in the Los Angeles area—or simply don't have time to travel?

You shouldn't have to live on tiny portions or constantly feel hungry to achieve your goals. My role is to educate, guide, motivate, and support you while helping you develop a healthier relationship with food and your lifestyle. Your health journey is personal. Your nutrition plan should be too. Let's Create a Plan That Works for You.
