About Juan
Hi, I'm Juan. I'm a registered dietitian with five years of experience, based in San Diego. I earned a Master's in Clinical Nutrition and a Master of Dietetics Administration, and I hold an MBA along with the RDN credential. My training includes medical nutrition therapy and culturally responsive care. I’ve worked across clinical hospital settings, private practice, sports nutrition, and wellness programs, which gives me a broad view of how nutrition fits into real life. Outside the clinic, I love strength training, trying new coffee spots, traveling, and cooking simple meals that burst with flavor. I also spend time outdoors, surfing, or studying.
Approach to care
Care for me means we team up to respect your body, your goals, and your everyday life. I rely on evidence-based principles, blending current science with practical strategies you can live with. I lead with empathy and warmth, inviting you to share challenges without judgment. I’m direct and action-oriented, turning knowledge into clear steps and accountable progress. My approach is holistic, considering sleep, stress, culture, and activity. I support weight-neutral, sustainable change that aligns with health at every size.
Your first session with Juan
Our first appointment is a warm conversation, not a test. We'll review your medical history, talk about your relationship with food, your goals, and any barriers. We'll establish short-term goals together, and I’ll help you envision realistic steps. You don't need to have everything figured out; we'll map a simple plan and check in on what matters most to you. We'll keep the pace supportive and collaborative, and I'll share actionable strategies you can start implementing soon. I look forward to meeting you and learning your story.
