About Adriana
With a PhD in Agriculture and Plant Science from the University of Minnesota and a Masters Degree in Nutritional Science from San Jose State University, I am able to combine my passions for food production and nutrition by helping patients navigate the often overwhelming world of food choices that they encounter on a daily basis. My 20 years of research and teaching experience, combined with my experience conducting clinical and counseling work, have honed my ability to translate complex scientific findings into easily understandable, actionable steps for patients.
Approach to care
As part of my practice I share our best current understanding of the impact of diet and other lifestyle behaviors on long term health. I have compiled this information over the years by thoroughly reviewing the scientific literature. My collaborative work with clients allows them to find their own individual path to better health through lifestyle modifications and habit building
Your first session with Adriana
Your first session is a key step in our journey together. It's dedicated to a comprehensive discovery phase where we'll discuss your current lifestyle, dietary habits and health history. This deep understanding allows me to identify the most effective, personalized strategies to help you reach your health goals. You'll walk away with a clear program plan for our work ahead and typically one or two actionable goals to immediately begin implementing.
