About Andrea

Andrea Quintanilla is a bilingual Registered Dietitian dedicated to making nutrition approachable, inclusive and culturally meaningful.

With a Master’s in Sports Nutrition and extensive experience in weight management, PCOS, diabetes, and performance nutrition, Andrea empowers patients with practical, evidence-based strategies that fit their lifestyle. She is dedicated to helping individuals build sustainable habits, improve their metabolic health, and feel confident in their bodies through supportive, culturally sensitive coaching.

Approach to care

My approach is collaborative and centered on understanding your full life: your routines, stress, preferences, training, and what’s worked before. I lean on strong scientific evidence in areas like metabolic health, PCOS, diabetes, and sports nutrition, but everything we do is practical and sustainable. I keep things supportive and judgment-free, looking at the whole picture sleep, stress, digestion, hormones, and movement. Above all, I focus on realistic habits that last rather than quick fixes.

Your first session with Andrea

Your first session is all about understanding you as a whole person. We’ll talk through your health history, current eating patterns, lifestyle, symptoms, and goals so I can get a clear picture of what you need. From there, we’ll look at what’s already working and identify simple, realistic changes that can create meaningful progress. My aim is for you to leave that first meeting feeling heard, supported, and confident about the path we’ll build together.
