About Jonathan

I am an energy bunny originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico. I received my first Bachelor's in Psychology from the University of New Mexico, second Bachelor's in Nutrition from Kansas State University, and my Master's in Nutrition from NW Missouri State University. I became a Dietitian because of my love for food, biochemistry, and the cultural background I came from. My hispanic heritage is all about food and taught me a lot about how to cook with limited resources. I am currently living in Florida, working as a Long Term Care Dietitian at 2 geriatric facilities. I have extensive knowledge across the board from adolescence/ children, women/ families, to adults and geriatric populations to the many disease states that influence them. I can speak on any diet structure, biochemical reaction and love to talk statistical analysis, or just the "newest trend". I am young at 31 and feel there is still plenty to learn from each and every client I work with.

Approach to care

Individual care is the key. Detail and statistical data are our driving force for true answers. The individual is in the driver's seat and I am here to guide you along the way. You are unique in your disease state and we have to focus on trial and error at times. I am a firm believer in "Food is Medicine" while respecting a place for prescription medicine. All circles within healthcare play a key role in helping you get to a place of better health and should never be looked over as any different. One individual does not have full authority over understanding your health. Being with a Dietitian is simply a piece to a complicated puzzle to help get you on your way to better health.

Your first session with Jonathan

Energy, passion, detailed analysis, as real as they come with honesty and transparency. I am a believer in building a relationship with you and this is our goal with our first session. I want to get to know you in as many ways as I can to better help you. If I do not get to know you, there is no way to unravel the issues at hand. I invite you to step out of your comfort zone, to come into unfamiliar territory and divulge as much information as you can. This is a safe space to grow in challenges we face together. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it.
