Meet Dalia Beydoun | Registered Dietitian & Founder of DSB Nutrition

We had the good fortune of connecting with Dalia Beydoun and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dalia, what’s something about your industry that outsiders are probably unaware of?
Dietitians play a huge role in promoting health beyond just weight loss. Many people believe that we are the food police, but our expertise extends far beyond that. We’re trained to address a diverse range of nutritional needs, from supporting people with conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and cancer to providing specialized nutrition for athletes. What many might not realize is that we are also at the forefront of nutritional care for those who can’t eat, such as individuals in comas or premature babies. This specialized training positions dietitians to address diverse nutritional challenges in ways that no other profession can.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?

At the core of my business is a commitment to evidence-based nutrition. In a world saturated with fads and misinformation, I take pride in delving into research to provide the most accurate and reliable information, particularly debunking health myths that circulate on platforms like TikTok.

My journey as a dietitian has been a transformative one. With over 8 years of experience working in a hospital setting, I honed my skills and expertise. My path took a significant turn as I ventured into obesity medicine and, more recently, entrepreneurship. This transition brought with it a new learning curve—from managing the intricacies of running a business to establishing a social media presence and understanding the nuances of insurance billing. Each step has been a valuable lesson.

Currently, DSB Nutrition is dedicated to offering personalized one-on-one nutrition support by helping individuals manage their nutrition concerns through tailored meal planning and counseling sessions. What sets us apart is our commitment to accessibility; we accept insurance, allowing many people to access my services without the burden of out-of-pocket expenses.

My brand is about empowering people to make informed choices. I strive to cut through the noise on social media platforms and offer a balanced insight. Whether it’s through individual sessions or reaching a broader audience on social media, my goal is to foster a community where everyone can navigate the complexities of nutrition with confidence.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I love this question, because playing tour guide in my city is one of my favorite things. A week long trip provides enough time to enjoy most of SoCal. Beginning in my home base of Orange County, we’d spend some time at the beach. Laguna and Newport are a few gems. Then we’d venture down to San Diego to explore the scenic La Jolla, Balboa Park, and the delicious eats in Little Italy. I’d also make sure to squeeze in some time in LA, where we would visit a museum or two, Malibu for an ocean view hike, and a rooftop restaurant to end the evening.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I owe a significant part of where I am today to the support of my family. While others have played roles at different stages of my life, my family has been the consistent anchor and unwavering support system that has shaped my path from my school days to my professional endeavors, including the establishment of my business.
