About Louis
Hi, I'm Louis, a bilingual (English and Spanish speaking) Chicago-based Registered Dietitian with a Master of Science in Nutrition and 5+ years of experience in both community health and clinical settings. I am CDCES (Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist) certified, and I bring a practical, science-informed approach to everyday eating. When I'm away from the desk, you'll find me training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, or lifting weights. I'm here to meet you where you are and help you turn small, sustainable steps into lasting change.
Approach to care
My care philosophy is collaborative, evidence-based, and focused on lasting change. I ground my recommendations in current nutrition science while staying curious about your life, values, and goals. I lead with warmth and a nonjudgmental stance, honoring Health At Every Size and tailoring guidance to your unique situation. I aim to educate so you feel confident making informed choices, translating big ideas into simple, doable steps we practice together. We'll build a plan that fits your life and supports long term wellbeing.
Your first session with Louis
I provide a patient-centered approach during our sessions together; think of our first appointment as a conversation where you set the pace. We'll review your medical history, current relationship with food, and any recent lab work or biometrics, then dig into what matters to you and where you want to go. You don't need to have everything figured out yet, and there's no pressure to meet someone else's standard. We'll leave with one or two realistic goals to start, and a clear sense of how we'll work together to support your health over time.
