Dr. Joanne Agus holds a doctorate in Nutrition Biology from UC Davis, where her research explores cholesterol metabolism and its role in different health conditions. She also holds an appointment as a Postdoctoral Scholar at UC Davis, where she remains actively involved in research. This ongoing work keeps her at the forefront of emerging developments in nutrition science, therapeutic applications, and evidence-based interventions.

She brings a science-forward yet approachable lens to nutrition counseling. Her work is grounded in both Western and Eastern scientific tenants, with a focus on lifestyle shifts that create lasting, sustainable change. She also specializes in how nutritional needs evolve across the lifespan, including focused care during pregnancy, postpartum, and infant feeding.

You’ll find her rooted in the Davis-Sacramento community, or out and about with her dog, Koda!
