About Armando
I am an experienced dietitian nutritionist for 20+ years. My energy, passion, care, organizational abilities, and creative nutrition planning skills will make a positive contribution to your health goals. Through my outgoing personality, I have always been able to establish and maintain excellent rapport with my clients. I am equally comfortable and trained to work with pediatric patients and adults.
Approach to care
As a dietitian who has struggled with his weight and resulting health issues his whole life, I can relate to the difficulties food and nutrition can pose to someone. I use up-to-date research and ideas that have worked for me to help my patients develop a nutrition plan that works for them. I have worked in a clinical setting for many years and have most recently worked as a NICU and Pediatric dietitian in the clinical setting. I listen, and take an approach with realistic goal setting.
Your first session with Armando
When we first meet, we will spend some time getting to know each other. I will then obtain from you the reason for your visit and any past medical history pertaining to our session. I will then take a food recall record from you of a typical day of eating for you and use this information to set realistic, attainable goals with you. I use the SMART goal framework to help you develop nutrition goals. I will provide you with relevant resources and provide ongoing accountability.
