About Abelardo
Hi, Iâm Abe, a Registered Dietitian (RD) passionate about helping you take control of your healthâwithout rigid rules or judgment. Whether your goal is sustainable weight loss, improving your relationship with food, or managing chronic conditions like CKD or insulin resistance, I offer evidence-based, personalized nutrition support that meets you where you are. With 7+ years of experience, I specialize in weight management, emotional eating, and metabolic health. My approach goes beyond meal plansâweâll uncover the âwhyâ behind your habits to create realistic, lasting change. Clients often say they feel truly heard for the first time. I combine compassion, structure, and real-life strategies to help you make progressânot perfection. Each session is tailored to your lifestyle and goals so that the changes stick. If youâre ready to break the all-or-nothing cycle and build a balanced, confident way of eating, Iâd be honored to support you.
Approach to care
My approach is collaborative and deeply personalized. I donât believe in quick fixes or rigid rules. Instead, I help you build sustainable habits that align with your lifestyle and values. Youâll get evidence-based guidance tailored to your needsâwhether thatâs managing CKD labs, improving digestion, fueling workouts, or breaking the diet cycle. Clients often describe my counseling style as supportive, down-to-earth, and motivating. Youâll feel heard, empowered, and equipped with practical strategies that make real change possible. If youâre ready for a more sustainable, flexible approach to nutritionâone that truly fits your lifeâIâd love to work with you.
Your first session with Abelardo
In our first session, you can expect a supportive, judgment-free space where I take the time to truly listen to your storyâyour goals, challenges, and whatâs worked (or hasnât) in the past. Weâll talk through your health history, eating habits, lifestyle, and priorities, so I can get a full picture of youânot just your symptoms or diagnoses. Whether youâre seeking support for weight management, CKD, gut health, sports nutrition, or mindful eating, this session is all about building trust and laying the foundation for a personalized, sustainable plan that fits your life. Youâll leave feeling heard, understood, and with a clear idea of our next steps together.
