About Jonathan
Jonathan Valdez is a New York City-based Telehealth Registered Dietitian Nutritionist named Top Pro by Diet Spotlight from 2017-2018. He is a Certified Personal Trainer specializing in gerontological nutrition, sports nutrition, diabetes, healthy aging, and weight loss. His passion for nutrition began in Hawai'i, where he grew up in a diverse culture surrounded by the spirit of aloha. When his grandmother died from Type 2 Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease, he didn't realize how diet and exercise played a role in prevention and disease management. After understanding how food and exercise are tied together, he set his journey to becoming a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist.
Approach to care
After learning how food and exercise are tied together, I became a registered dietitian nutritionist. I play a role in providing the best evidence-based information that is accessible, understandable, and high-quality and that will empower a positive lifestyle.
Your first session with Jonathan
You can expect to be greeted with aloha and then walk down the path about you, what you do, and what you need to be healthier. Then we'll create a yellow brick road to a healthier you. Healthier me + a healthier you = a healthier world. After the session is done, you will feel the power of motivation and affirmation to lead the life you want to live.
