Dr. Melina is an internist and board-certified physician nutrition specialist. She trained as an internist for the past 20 years and has specialized exclusively in nutrition for weight loss, disease prevention and treatment. Her current clinical work focuses on the new and rapidly growing field of precision nutrition and nutrigenetics.

She has written five weight loss books and has appeared on many television outlets
including Live with Ryan and Kelly, Dr. Oz, Access Hollywood and The Doctors. She has been a contributor in hundreds of interviews including Prevention, Better Homes & Gardens and Glamour magazine. She currently resides on the health advisory board for Forbes Health.

Dr. Melina’s passion for educating the public on weight loss and disease prevention led her to open The Body Sculpting Studio in 2016. She discovered that many of her nutrition and weight loss patients, despite exercise and a healthy diet, were still not achieving the results in their body shape that they hoped for. She carefully vetted the latest in non-surgical body sculpting treatments for months before she decided on options for her patients. Her impeccable standards and artistry in body sculpting has made her one of the most sought-after doctors by celebrities and television personalities in Los Angeles today.
