About Rodrigo
Hey there, I'm Rod! I'm a registered dietitian in Monterey, California. Most of my experience has been within the clinical/hospital setting but throughout those times, I have seen families face barriers trying to live healthier lifestyles or managing their chronic conditions. I want to do the best I can to work with you in achieving your health and nutrition goals in practical and sustainable ways.
Approach to care
Because no individual is alike, my philosophy is to take the time to listen to the person, see what their life is like, and hear what goals they have for this new journey. From there, I will work with you to start simple, small steps with the hopes of creating lifelong habits in the future. I will continue to offer a judgement free, open space starting from Day 1, where you can rest assured feel comfortable to ensure we get through this together.
Your first session with Rodrigo
Our first session will consist of getting to know each other, understanding what your current situation is, what goals you may have/outcomes you want to achieve, and addressing any concerns/barriers you may have and try to come up with some creative solutions to tackle them. Depending on where we get, we will work together to get started on some actionable goals within your comfort zone.
