Meet Your Mackenthun's Registered & Licensed Dietitian
Andrew Akhaphong, MS, RD, LD
"I would consider myself a picky eater. I don't cook a lot, because it's just myself. Andrew recommended an intervention I only had to do once a day - increase my fiber. My doctor said if my cholesterol doesn't improve, I would need to be on medication. Within 3 months, they were lowered!" - K, February 2021
