Ernesto Cabrera

About Ernesto

I practice nutrition care that is warm, non-diet, and behavior-focused. I prioritize long-term health over short-term outcomes and support clients through education, curiosity, and collaboration rather than control. I do not use shame, fear, or restriction as tools for change. I believe clients already have strengths and knowledge, and my role is to help them uncover, refine, and apply them in ways that feel sustainable. I meet clients where they are, respect their lived experiences, and treat progress as nonlinear. My goal is to build confidence, self-trust, and practical skills that support both physical and emotional well-being.

Approach to care

I believe that health is not defined by perfection, restriction, or willpower. My approach to nutrition care is rooted in compassion, evidence-based practice, and sustainable behavior change. I work with individuals seeking weight management and diabetes support using a non-diet, shame-free approach that focuses on building skills rather than enforcing rules. Instead of rigid meal plans or quick fixes, I help clients develop realistic habits that fit their lives, cultures, and preferences. I believe that lasting change happens when people feel supported, understood, and empowered — not judged. My role is to meet each client where they are, provide practical education, and create a safe space for growth, reflection, and progress at their own pace. Health is personal, and so is nutrition care. Together, we focus on progress, not perfection.
