About Elizabeth
Hi, I'm Elizabeth Valencia, a Registered Dietitian at Nourish in Los Angeles. I specialize in helping individuals build sustainable, healthy habits that fit seamlessly into their lifestyles. I work with clients managing pre-diabetes, diabetes, insulin resistance, high cholesterol, weight loss, and general nutrition needs. My goal is to provide simple, actionable suggestions that you can easily incorporate into your routine to reach your health goals. Through education and personalized support, I aim to help you feel your best and make lasting improvements to your health—no extreme diets, just real, lasting change.
Approach to care
My goal is to meet you where you are on your nutrition and health journey. My philosophy is to help you maintain your cultural foods while focusing on adding more nutritious options and positive behaviors into your life, rather than emphasizing removal and restriction. I’m here to support you in building sustainable, lifelong habits. Together, we’ll set mini-goals at each visit to keep you on track toward achieving your overall health goals.
Your first session with Elizabeth
In our first session, I'm eager to learn about you through some in-depth questions. My goal is to understand your unique expectations and what you hope to gain from working together. This will allow us to collaboratively outline the next steps, schedule our follow-up, and identify initial goals to focus on between sessions. Remember, nutrition is complex and goes beyond just the foods we eat. A significant part of our work will involve empowering you and building accountability as you move towards your goals.
