— Shaheen v, Client
Her approach to diet and exercise is practical and easy to follow, with wonderful ideas for teas, herbs, nutrition, and realistic plans that fit into everyday life. Since June 2026, I have lost 9 pounds by September 2026 — and honestly, I know I could have done even better if I had followed her recommendations more strictly! Even with some slacking on my part, the results have been amazing. What I love most is how genuinely interested Alah is in her patients. She takes the time to listen, guide, and make you feel supported throughout the journey. Thank you, Alah, for all that you do and for caring so much about your patients!
“I cannot thank Alah Elasmar enough for her kindness, insight, punctuality, and the deep guidance she provides.”
— Karime D, Client
She is incredibly patient and truly understands the obstacles that get in the way of nutrition goals. Instead of quick fixes, she provides practical solutions, tailored meal plans, and expert guidance for a sustainable, happy lifestyle. Thanks to her, I've built a healthier, more positive relationship with both food and my body. I wholeheartedly recommend Alah to anyone looking for a personalized and deeply supportive nutritional experience.
“Working with Alah has been an absolute pleasure.”
— fatima A, Client
My arm ached really bad like it was broken, my stomach was so sensitive that if I was in a room with air freshener I would get extremely nauseous and dizzy, my period was abnormal and I would get really bad depression and mood swings way from like 2 weeks before my cycle. Also, I had extreme anxiety for no reason, all day, for 3 years. Once I started with the protocol Alah gave me, I was feeling very good in 2 weeks. By the end of the 1st month, I already felt all my symptoms disappear and went back to work!
“Before I got treated with Alah, I was so sick, I had heavy brain fog and confusion.”
— Anisa k, Client
the emotional aspect of my health journey improved so much in the sense that it became very easy to be forgiving towards myself and my habits and it helped with my emotional relationship with food! It felt really good to dedicate time to my mindset and then link it to my diet.
“My reflections on our sessions, especially when we first began, is that on top of seeing physical changes in my body from following your advice.”
— Madeleine M, Client
I've gone from 365 lbs to 323 lbs in roughly 5 months, and despite facing many serious life issues, with your help, I have maintained healthy habits and discipline, and plan to continue doing so going forward! I really can't thank you enough for your guidance!
“Since we started working together, I have lost a total of 42 lbs!”
— Jessica D, Client
She's very knowledgeable in the mind-body connection and explains in detail the complexities of what's currently going on in my body. I value her opinion as she guides me through the next phases of healing.
“It's been incredible working with Alah as she continues to help me through SIBO.”
My Credentials: RD, LD, IFNCP, CPT
Functional Medicine Dietitian · Herbalist · Certified Personal Trainer | Founder of Made with Barakah
I received my Bachelors of Science in Human Nutrition and Foods at the University of Houston. In between graduating and completing my dietetic internship at Illinois State University, I spent time overseas, completing a semester in an MBA program at Birzeit University in Palestine and a nine-month program in Islamic Sciences and Classical/Qur’anic Arabic through Al-Madina Institute and Ibn Khaldun University in Istanbul.
I went on to receive advanced training in Integrative and Functional Nutrition from The Integrative and Functional Nutrition Academy (IFNA), in educational partnership with The Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM).
I've since deepened my root-cause approach by completing The Herbal Academy's Intermediate Herbal Course studying herbal actions, energetics, and safety alongside body-system-specific botanical support from digestive and immune health to hormone and nervous system balance. This training lets me weave evidence-informed herbal support into the same root-cause lens I bring to nutrition and lab-based protocols.
I'm currently licensed in the state of Texas & helping clients improve their health from various states virtually.
