How to work with Yi Min

No one IBD or GI patient is the same, hence you should not be receiving blanket nutrition recommendations either!

Nutrition can be tough and overwhelming when dealing with IBD. I’ll help you to find realistic, practical and sustainable ways to nourish your body through customized nutrition plans that are specifically tailored to your IBD symptoms, treatment plan, lifestyle, and cultural food preferences. Whether you are navigating a flare-up, preparing or recovering from surgery, or managing long-term remission, your nutrition plan will be designed to meet your individual digestive & nutrition needs.

Sessions are conducted virtually.

Yi Min Teo culturally inclusive nutrition services

Hello there! I’m Yi Min (she/her)

I empower individuals to reconnect and nourish both their bodies and relationship with food – all while embracing their culture and identities.

Along your digestive health and chronic illness journey, you have probably been anxious, stressed and confused. Having concerns and experiences dismissed or nutrition questions left unanswered are far too common. Maybe you were even told something like “diet does not matter for managing your disease”.

I am glad and excited that you are here. I am here to tell you diet DOES matter and has the power to significantly improve your disease and symptoms. Discover the powerful impact of nutrition and food through the individualized, evidence-based, and culturally sensitive digestive health care with me.

Take a breather. You are in a safe space.

Yi Min is absolutely AMAZING! I am so incredibly grateful to have connected with Yi Min early in my diagnosis and to be still working with her several months into my healing journey. I don’t know how I would’ve made it to where I am today without her!

— Past Client – IBS

I am surprised at how quick the symptoms are manageable and at how quick the new dietary habits are sticking, because it’s been really hard to change in the past. I am so grateful that I went through this program with someone I trust and feel safe with.
