Founder & CEO
We can’t change genetics. But we do have the power to reduce our risk of illness through proper nutrition and lifestyle choices.

Our Values
Our value resides in our credibility, accountability and obligations to our partners and the communities we serve, as well as in the best practices that promote continuous improvement in the quality of the services provided.
Our Vision
Kuishi Smart's vision is communities around the globe where no matter the economic or social situation, people eat healthy, live well, and fulfill their potential.
Our Mission
Kuishi Smart's mission is to provide personalized and culturally appropriate dietetics care and education programs and to contribute to an enabling dietetics and healthcare system that prevents, controls, and manages NCDs.
Our Approach to Treating NCDs
KUISHI SMART approaches the treatment of NCDs using the Social Ecological Model alongside the Chronical Care Model.
That's a fancy way of saying that we meet you where you're at in your circumstances and treat you using the best evidence-based practices available to you. You don't need a high-maintenance diet or intense exercise regimen (although those can be helpful!) in order to reach your goals and maintain your health.
Social Ecological Model
Recognizes individuals and their behaviors within their environment. This can include the individual, the group/community or the physical, social, or political situations surrounding their lives.
The Social Ecological Model | Agency for Toxic Susbtances and Disease Registry
Chronic Care Model
Recommends evidence-based changes in the health system that are needed to improve patient health and well-being.
The Chronic Care Model | Agency for Toxic Susbtances and Disease Registry
Our organization uses an electronic medical records system (EMR) to generate data-driven insight for the organization.
Through this system we're able to embed the dietetics and healthcare prevention model of NCDs into the public health system.
By integrating and optimizing the two models with the EMR system, our interactions with patients are successful. This contributes to improving reliable results, quality of life and information management of the clinical system, as well as reducing health care costs at individual and health system levels.
