Jillian Valdes

About Jillian

Hi, I'm Jillian. I'm a Registered Dietitian with 12 years of experience, based in Ft. Lauderdale. I hold an MS and am an LDN, RDN, RD. I earned my Master of Science in Dietetics and Nutrition and am certified in plant medicine. My professional journey spans clinical hospital care, private practice, and community health, which helps me see nutrition from many angles. When I'm not working, I love yoga, reading, hiking, candle making, and staying active. I am also a twin mom who homeschools part time! I'm here to support you with warmth and realism.

Approach to care

My care philosophy is built on evidence-based science, warm empathy, and a holistic view of you. I believe lasting change comes from understanding your life, not just your meals. We'll work together in a weight-neutral, HAES-inspired approach that respects your goals and values, and we'll translate research into practical steps. I aim to educate and empower you so you feel confident making choices that fit your day to day, long after our sessions end.

Your first session with Jillian

Our first appointment is a warm, collaborative conversation. We'll review your medical history, establish short-term goals, and review lab work and biometrics together. We'll also do a deep dive into your relationship with food and create a customized meal plan you can actually follow. You don't need to have it all figured out yet; we'll pace things so you feel supported and understood from the start.
