About Fernanda
I am a registered dietitian with two decades of clinical experience working with patients and families to best achieve each person's individual goals. I initially became interested in nutrition when I moved to the United States and gained a significant amount of weight during acclimation. From then on, I became interested on how nutrition can prevent, manage and cure several medical conditions. My experience over the years includes achieving optimal health, longevity nutrition, weight management, diabetes, fertility, women's health, bariatric surgery, pre- and post-natal nutrition, sports nutrition, endocrinology, hypertension, heart and gastrointestinal health.
Approach to care
I strive to create a personalized approach for each person's health goals. Together we'll set a plan that is realistic, achievable and culturally sensitive. My goal is to empower patients to be informed decision makers where we will balance the joy of eating and goal setting. Every person has a unique journey, and I'm grateful to be a part of it.
Your first session with Fernanda
The goal for our first session is to get to know each other. I'm interested in understanding your previous experiences, understanding your goals and what motivates you. We will also discuss your priorities and lifestyle. It may include education and sharing resources. We may set a few goals to get you started. Every person's journey is unique, and I aim to make this experience unique to you and accessible.
