About Manuel
I have been a Registered Dietitian for about 30 years. I attended California State University Los Angeles where I received a Bachelor Degree in Nutritional Science. I am also a Certified Diabetes Educator. I believe that good nutrition is the foundation of good health. I like to educate my patients on the benefits of eating a variety of healthy foods. I want to help you achieve your goals
Approach to care
My approach to care is helping you achieve good nutrition by educating you on the health benefits of eating a variety of healhy foods. I believe that food is more than just calories, protein and fats; for example, some foods have powerful antioxidants that help fight inflammation in the body and help protect against cancers. Eating healthy helps lower cholesterol, control diabetes and lower high blood pressure as well. I see food as medicine. We need to eat like the colors if the rainbow by including different colors of fruits and vegetables. Eating healthy makes you feel good physically and mentally.
