Jaime Ross

About Jaime

Born and raised on Kaua‘i, I’ve carried the “aloha spirit” with me while becoming “Vegas tough” since 1998, when I began my career journey in nutrition at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. As a Registered Dietitian (RD) with over 20 years of hospital experience, I’ve provided nutrition care to diverse populations—having primary responsibilities in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Pediatrics (including educating families of newly diagnosed children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus), mothers managing Gestational Diabetes Mellitus, and serving as Lead Dietitian for our clinical RD team.

Approach to care

Beyond my professional path, I am a proud mother of four and a Boston Marathon finisher. Endurance running has shaped my mindset and counseling style: direct and practical. I embrace messy wins over comfortable mediocrity, and I see suffering not as a place to crumble but as an opportunity to climb with perseverance—building character and ultimately instilling unshakable hope within us. I believe that growing up in Hawai‘i’s multicultural environment, coupled with decades of patient care across the entire lifecycle and my resilience as an endurance athlete, makes me a unique nutrition professional to work with.

Your first session with Jaime

When you work with me, you’ll gain more than a nutrition counselor—you’ll gain an accountability partner. I look forward to getting to know you, and then providing practical, individualized recommendations that fit your lifestyle. My focus is to empower you to move toward better health through sustainable dietary modifications. Your decision may feel simple, your journey may not be easy, but my hope is that you will find it was all worth it.
