Damian Lara

About Damian

My passion for nutrition was born out of a personal journey, losing over 100 pounds and maintaining that transformation has deepened my commitment to helping others. Today I am a full-time inpatient clinical dietitian dedicated to providing personalized, evidence-based nutritional guidance. In my spare time, I am passionate about extending my support to those in need beyond the hospital setting, driven by my genuine desire to make a positive impact on lives through nutrition and health.

Approach to care

I offer nutrition care that's clear, simple, and supportive. I focus on realistic goals, build confidence, and guide lasting change. I believe in meeting patients where they are and motivating them at every stage of their health journey. I believe that successful nutritional guidance should not only be evidence-based but also practical and accessible.

Your first session with Damian

During our first meeting it will be welcoming, engaging, and easy to learn from. I create a supportive space where people feel heard and respected. Having gone through a life-changing journey myself, I understand how meaningful that first step with a dietitian can be.
