About Alfonso

Hi, I’m Alfonso, a Registered Dietitian based in California. I have 2 years of experience as an RD and hold an MS in Nutrition and Wellness from Andrews University, a BS in Clinical Nutrition from UC Davis, and an AS in Kinesiology from Moorpark College. I’ve supported patients in clinical and hospital settings, including a Level 2 Trauma Center, where I learned that nourishment and care go hand in hand with resilience. When I’m not at work, you’ll find me in the kitchen cooking, practicing MMA, painting, tending my garden, traveling, or sipping coffee. I’m glad you’re here and I’m excited to meet you.

Approach to care

My care philosophy centers on evidence-based guidance delivered with warmth. I ground my approach in current science while honoring your lived experience and goals. I work with you, not at you, blending holistic nutrition with practical strategies that fit your life. We'll set clear actions, track progress, and celebrate small wins, keeping sustainability at the core so changes last. I practice a weight-neutral, health-at-every-size mindset and focus on behaviors, not a single number, while teaching you the why behind recommendations so you can own your choices long term.

Your first session with Alfonso

Our first session is a welcoming conversation about you and your goals. We'll review your medical history, explore your current routines, and discuss what you want to achieve with food and health. You don't need to have it all figured out yet; this is a judgment-free space where we learn together. We'll also review your lab work and biometrics to guide our plan. By the end, you'll have 1 or 2 actionable steps and a clear path we’ll take together.
