About Lucia
Hi! I am a registered dietitian specialized in medical and bariatric weight loss management. I have been a dietitian for over 14 years. I have long experience working with patients of different ages with different health issues. I am passionate about educating and inspiring people to improve their health and achieve their happiness. It is rewarding for me to see that I am making a difference in people's lives; and see them make a lifestyle change and enjoy their life to the fullest :) “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” Hippocrates
Approach to care
I work with patients on their personal goals, needs, experience, lifestyle, medical history, and create personalized plans to help achieve lasting results.
Your first session with Lucia
On our first meeting expect a detailed discussion about your current diet, medical history, lifestyle, and nutritional goals to help me understand your eating habits and identify areas for improvement. At the same time you will be able to share your concerns and ask questions so that jointly we can create a personalized nutrition plan that fits your needs and lifestyle.
