Fit4D :: Meet Our Coaches

Isa Carani, RD, CDE

Fit4D Nutrition Coach

Isamali Carani is a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator. Prior to working with Fit4D Isa served as a clinical dietitian and diabetes educator for organizations including a hospital and a community health center. Isa was the dietitian and diabetes educator for the health center’s diabetes program. During her time there she has helped launch and run the program. She provided one-on-one nutrition counseling, as well as diabetes nutrition classes at the center and in the community and worked alongside the medical providers during the monthly specialized diabetes clinics. Currently Isa is working in a contract position as a diabetes educator.

Being a dietitian bilingual in Spanish has given her opportunities to teach bilingual nutrition classes, appear as a guest speaker on a local Spanish radio show, TV, newspapers; Isa was also a guest speaker on diabetes, childhood obesity and nutrition for the Puerto Vallarta Medical Group in Mexico.

Isa realizes nutrition is such an integral part of diabetes care but notes that it is so important to consider the person with diabetes. Therefore, Isa feels it is critical to meet people where they are at and set goals that are realistic for them. She also believes in empowering the person so they understand and manage their diabetes and feel in control of their health. Isa feels one of the challenges she has faced is that many people have a basic grasp of nutrition and exercise but also have wrong information built into their understanding of diabetes and how it relates to physical activity and nutrition. Isa wants to help her clients sort through the “myths” and make the best choices for themselves and their lifestyle. This is one of the many reasons she is very excited about being part of the Fit4D team. “Fit4d is a great site for those looking to receive accurate information and support from health professionals who specialize in and have a passion for helping people with diabetes.”
