Carlos Fragoso

About Carlos

My name is Carlos Fragoso (he/him) and I have turned my passion into my work by providing one-on-one nutrition counseling to anyone who is looking to transform their relationship with food! I want to provide you with a space where you can come for accountability, ask tough questions while feeling safe, and where you can have fun and feel okay messing up! I have learned the facts, tools, mindset shifts (and more) to help myself overcome these struggles, and that's what I'm here to share with you! More so what I want to share with you - as someone who knows all of the facts, tools, mindsets, and STILL falls off the horse sometimes - just how you can pick yourself up, getting stronger each and every time.

Approach to care

I am a naturally compassionate and empathetic person, but I am also highly motivated and encouraging, which are all qualities I imbue into my work as a dietitian. I do not offer a "quick fix" or temporary diet plan, I do not qualify foods as "good" or "bad," and I do not generally counsel on restrictive diets (unless medically necessary). What I do offer is a novel and science-backed approach to nutrition that puts you in the driver's seat, so that you can forget about all of the conflicting information you see online or hear about, and can free yourself from the confines of what society has told you what you should look like. I refer to myself as a "food therapist" because of the inextricable connection between food, body, and mind. I create a space where you can talk about your innermost thoughts and feelings about food and body image, so that you and I can get to the heart of things and effectuate change.

Your first session with Carlos

Our work together will be dynamic and based entirely on your unique needs. No person is the same, and so no treatment plan should be the same! We will work on the foundations of nutrition, learn how to nourish yourself appropriately, break through unhelpful mindsets and self-limiting beliefs, identify and change habits that hold you back, and develop new habits that are supportive and productive. The end goal is to create a long-term solution that allows you to live a life of pleasure, purpose and power. After our work together, my goal is for you to feel confident moving forward on your own, liberated from diet culture and in control of your body. You won't worry or spend time and money on fad diets, health "hacks," or internet trends. You'll move on feeling a sense of clarity and peace with your body and food.
