My parents started working with Sophie in January 2024. My brother and I recognized that we needed a professional to work with our aging parents because they really would not listen to us, even though we are both adult professionals with families of our own. (If you know, you know.) Our mom needed help to manage her pre-diabetes condition and our dad needed support to understand proper nutrition and balance. Both needed to exercise more regularly yet carefully since they are both in their 80s. The past year has been a journey for my parents...accepting new ideas, establishing different eating and exercise patterns and modifying lifelong habits. We are super proud of them for what they have been able to accomplish because it has not been easy to modify those lifelong ideas, habits and patterns. But they are doing it. None of their health progress could have happened without Sophie's patient and gentle guidance. She speaks English and Mandarin with them and understands our culture, diet and our parents' generation. She respects them but also challenges them. And they listen to her! My parents work with Sophie on being mindful of their food choices, as well as mobility and strength training. She gives my parents the support and inspiration to keep moving and motivation to take care of themselves physically and mentally. Sophie is a gift. We are very grateful to her and how she has impacted our parents' lives in such a positive way. read more

Sophie is one of the few Chinese dieticians when I did an initial search. She understands diet in relation to Asian cooking, and she is vegan, which also matched my needs. She is conversational and can talk about almost anything. One conversation, we ended up talking about our feet - and how to cope with bunions. She gave topnotch advice about what type of shoes, sneakers to wear, and about how to stretch your toes to give each toe space to move, and the importance of practicing being barefoot at home. She has had a lot of personal experiences with diets, health, and general well-being, and has a healthy attitude in questioning established norms that actually do not help, but hinder optimal health. She is as knowledgable as she is enjoyable to work with! read more

I'm so glad to have found Sophie to work with my Dad on lowering his diabetes!! My dad was at a point where his eye sight was being affected, he was constantly fatigued, and had various other issues. Our family avoided talking about his health issues because it would bring up a lot of conflict. He resisted going to the doctor and wouldn't track his blood sugar because of denial and discouragement. Because of this, I wasn't sure if they'd be open to working with a dietician--but after our consult with Sophie, hearing her story of how she helped her father, and the fact that she speaks mandarin and understands the culture, my parents were so onboard and excited for their health journey. In just 3 months, his blood sugar levels (hbA1c) lowered from 10.5 to 6.5. My dad was concerned that being on a diet meant that he couldn't eat out anymore or had to cut out the foods he loved, but sophie taught them how to be mindful when eating out, and that it's not that he can't enjoy food, but just had to learn to adapt. She also empowered them with how to cook Asian cuisine with healthier options. Throughout the process, my dad would constantly show us his blood sugar tracker because he was proud of the way he managed his blood sugar. And my mom currently has a newfound passion for making keto bread and diabetes friendly desserts. Their quality of life is so much better. Health is no longer a topic of conflict in our family, but one that is filled with empowerment and encouragement! This is all thanks to Sophie. As the eldest daughter of an Asian family, I can't thank you enough for helping our family!! read more

Coach Sophie Hung - In just 4 months so happy for her - Nutritionists Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Before I joined the A Healthier You Journey nutrition program in July 2024, my biggest challenge was getting balanced meal control. After the program, I have gained awareness of what, how much & when to take healthy foods and why. The program helps develop healthy routines and systems to maintain healthy behaviors. It guides me moving more to plant-based diet. It's a lifestyle change. Based on my experience, the program helps me get to know more my own body and behaviors. Each person is different. Whatever I learned from the program, I have to adjust and fine tune accordingly with confidence based on my own body's needs and reaction. It's not "one size fits all". It's a long journey... Longer term commitments can provide better success. read more

We found Sophie on Yelp for an urgent lactation consult. We called her at 3:30pm and she showed up at 7pm, right on time for baby's scheduled feeding. Her 90min consultation was one of the most professional, efficient, informative, honestly life-affirming experiences I've seen. Our baby was 5 days old and not breastfeeding effectively. We really wanted to breastfeed exclusively despite everyone telling us it was easier to bottle-feed. Sophie had answers to every question we had. Baby immediately latched and fed for the longest she's ever eaten since she was born. Sophie brought a scale to weigh baby before and after so we could confirm how much baby ate. We feel empowered, relieved, and elated to continue our breastfeeding journey with Sophie's support. read more

I do feel my strength is a lot more stronger after the few months training . Also I learned how to eat healthier and lose weight consistently and slowly. Sophie taught me the mindset for eating healthier, as well as gave me a realistic meal plan that's doable. she's also a multilingual trainer that can lecture training in Cantonese, Mandarin, English and Spanish.

Sophie has high energy and a wonderful personality. She is great to work with.

We knew it was going to be a great experience. Thank you. read more

I had a great experience working with A Healthier You Journey. I had a bloated gut and indigestion. Sophie was very warm and comfortable to work with. I can tell she really wanted to help me feel better and worked like a detective to help me find the root of the problem. We were able to identify the cause of my bloated gut very fast and after I eliminated the food from my diet I felt immediately better. I highly recommend working with Sophie and her team to help you find the optimal diet for your personal needs and goals. read more

My mom was dealing with a number of health issues (and eventually had open heart surgery) and I really didn't have time to be middle man to translate and explain everything to both sides. I decided I needed a dietician that speaks Cantonese for my mom in order for this to work. I came across Sophie but wasn't sure what we were gonna get because it was my first time seeking out someone specifically for this type of service. I first met with Sophie to go over some logistics and set up an appointment for my mom. The minute she started interacting with my mom, I knew she was the perfect one. She is so kind, patient, knowledgeable, reliable, thorough, positive, etc anything you can ask for in a perfect professional. She's taught my mom (and family) so many things that we've incorporated so much of it into our lives. My mom now eats super healthy and has been able to control her blood sugar (10.1 when we met Sophie, now 6.4), blood pressure and cholesterol with Sophie's guidance. After my mom's open heart surgery, Sophie worked on some exercises with her to get her back on track to living a normal and more enjoyable life. We owe the majority of my mom's successes in recovery to Sophie. We'll never forget her and hope to someday come back to Sophie!! Thank you Sophie!!! read more

Sophie is fantastic. I was interviewing multiple nutritionists and initially wanted to just hire someone to send me a customized meal plan. After speaking with her, I was convinced to sign up for her 12 week program.

Through the program I lost 7 lbs and 3" off my waist, and gained almost 4% more muscle. Thanks Sophie! read more

My mom has diabetes and has had several dietician appointments when she was with health care partners and now kaiser. Although they provided her with general knowledge they mostly just informed her of what foods she should not eat. They were not able to provide her with the guidance and understanding that Sophie provided. She tailored her meal plan it specifically to what my mom enjoys eating. Sophie made it easy and clear for my mom to follow her meal plan even even though she is a picky eater. My moms A1c has dropped significantly and her sugar is much more controlled.

I can't recommend Sophie enough, if you're thinking about a nutritionist, reach out to her! My dad is down 15 POUNDS in 6 weeks. I hired her for myself but more importantly my father who has had a lifetime of poor/stubborn eating habits. If you have older parents, you probably experience some degree of this, as their understanding of nutrition just wasn't what it is today. The fact that she speaks Mandarin is also a tremendous help. She helped us understand portion control, healthy substitutes and education about dieting, nutrition and eating right. read more
