Nancy Rodriguez

About Nancy

I'm a parent of three college age kids. Come from a large family that is tight knit which keeps things lively- never boring. Find music, moving, and family/ friends to be my mental health. And a daily piece of chocolate helps too. My motto is "we are not all in the same boat. we are in the same storm..." - Damian Barr.

Approach to care

Believe success comes from patient driven goals that are realistic, sustainable and guided by the dietitian. That begins with listening to the patient and hearing their story. Prefer to focus on what can be done today, not what cannot be done today.

Your first session with Nancy

More listening from the dietitian than talking- the dietitian is getting to know the patient. A patient plan to get started based on what you, the patient wants to work on. Addressing why you are here today. A tentative, flexible draft for the coming weeks/ long term. Last, the resources to support your success for the first weeks.
