Too Opinionated Interview: Charmaine Dominguez

Originally from Hong Kong, Charmaine Dominguez is a registered dietitian and wellness professional who specializes in helping clients reverse Type 2 Diabetes and general insulin resistance through plant-focused, whole foods dieting. She is a double graduate of Cal State Long Beach, where she received both her Bachelor of Science Degree in Nutrition & Dietetics and her Master's in Public Health. 

Charmaine has coached over 1,000 clients into Type 2 Diabetes remission – and helped countless other prevent or manage insulin resistance before it becomes type 2. Her work online has led her to wide acknowledgment as one of the top diabetes-focused creators, including recognitions by medical publications. While blood-sugar tracking has surged in popularity online, Charmaine’s approach goes beyond trend. She focuses on whole foods and plant-based nutrition (though not necessarily vegan), emphasizing vitamin-rich, complex carbohydrates that actually improve insulin sensitivity over time. 

Charmaine is more than just a content creator – she’s also a founder, business owner, and wife. She has scaled her business to include a team of dietitians who work under her to support her rapidly growing client base; her entrepreneurial grit is the core of work in the wellness space online and with her business. Charmaine fluently speaks English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, and is conversational in Spanish and Korean.
