Approach to care
I like to think of food as medicine. I practice functional nutrition therapy, to help prevent or reverse chronic medical conditions through dietary and lifestyle changes. I educate patients with a scientific based research approach, providing genuine and authentic care in each and every case.
Your first session with Yessenia
During your first session, expect to fill out paperwork, , answer questions about your personal history and current challenges, share your nutrition goals, and work on building rapport with your registered dietitian by openly discussing your feelings and experiences, while also having the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the process.
