My name is Oxana Kraynyak, a Registered and Licensed Dietitian and Nutritionist. I hold a Doctorate of Dental Medicine and a Master’s Degree in Nutrition. I have worked as an oncology Registered Dietitian with Saint Luke's Hospital in Pennsylvania as well as with NYU Langone Cancer Center in New York City.  I have great passion and a solid background in Preventive and Holistic Medicine.

​

My passion for preventive and holistic medicine was sparked during my medical school years and was further ignited when I faced my own health challenge; chronic back pain. I had access to top-tier medical advice, but the consensus was for spinal cord surgery and opioid to help with the pain. I chose a different path.

Under medical supervision, and through a combination of intermittent fasting, dieting, and meditation, I was not only able to overcome my condition, I discovered a passion for yoga and mountain hiking. This transformative experience led me to leave my career as a dentist and fully embrace a holistic approach to medicine, a philosophy I am privileged to share with patients and clients through Sana Dietetics.

Sana Dietetics is rooted in the belief that positive thoughts and wholesome natural food are the key to health and well-being. Sana Dietetics customized programs incorporate intermittent fasting, tailored Mediterranean diets, a focus on gut health, meditation, and simple mind-body techniques to deal with our daily stress.

I invite you to redefine your relationship with food and discover a happier, healthier lifestyle. Addressing this commonly underestimated issue can be the key to overcoming eating disorders and stress-related illnesses.

My name is Khalid Azizi, my friends and Clients call me Karl, I hold A bachelors of Science in Biology, A Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting, and a Masters degree in Environmental Science.  As far as Nutrition goes, I hold a Professional Certificate in Health and Nutrition, and I am also certified in Gastrointestinal Health.  

​

As the Chief Finance and Operations Officer at Sana Dietetics, I wear many hats.  I oversee all aspects of the company's Finance, Operation, and administration. I also leverage my expertise in Environmental Science, Biology, Scientific Research, and Nutrition to support the company's mission of delivering evidence-based and sustainable holistic dietary interventions that improve the health and well-being of our clients. 

 

Few years back, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and was struggling with the side effects of Metformin.  I was not convinced or happy about the prognosis; treating the symptoms, slowing the condition and bracing for it to devolve into a full fledged diabetes.   I was fortunate enough to have a young open minded doctor that was open for me to explore alternative avenues. I was also fortunate to meet Oxana Kraynyak at a very early stage of my diagnosis.  I was very skeptical about Oxana’s approach, but the course of action she prescribed made perfect scientific sense.  with doctor oversight and through a customized program of natural mediterranean diet, rigorous intermittent fasting plan, and the incorporation of yoga, meditation, and exercise, I was able to wean myself gradually from metformin. I lost over 35lb, and reached an A1C of 5.1 within a year.  It was a life changing experience and I am thrilled to be part of Sana Dietetics and use my skills to advance this amazing endeavor and share it with the world. 

 

 

I am Dr. Laouina, Medical doctor with a specialty in Heart, Vessel and Hypertension Diseases, Pediatric Cardiology, and Cardiovascular Ultrasound and Doppler.  I am thrilled to partner with Sana Dietetics and serve as its Medical and Research Consultant.  Prevention truly is the best medicine, unfortunately in my practice, over 90% of my patients come to me after the onset of a disease that is totally preventable.  I am a big advocate of preventive medicine and the mission and vision of Sanadietetetic strongly align with my values.

 

Forward thinking organizations like Sana Dietetics and other proponents of preventive medicine play a pivotal role in creating a world where people live healthier lives by preventing rather than curing common illnesses. All of these roles are in line with how I see myself contributing as a physician to the family medicine speciality. I have seen the societal improvements and benefits that have arisen through previous public health initiatives, such as vaccination programs, restrictions on the use of tobacco, removal of Trans Fats from our supply chain, etc… I want to be able to help a large number of people, emphasize prevention and primary care, and also continually be challenged in ways that motivate me to improve as a physician.  

 

We all have a role to play as individuals,  communities, and Medical professionals in promoting uptake of clinical preventive services.  Being part of Sana Dietetics make me feel that I am doing my part
