Alba Cartagenova, RD

Hi! I’m Alba, a bilingual registered dietitian nutritionist based in Houston, TX. I’ve worked in the field for four years, with experience in both outpatient counseling and hospital settings in the Texas Medical Center. I’ve supported patients across the lifespan in managing chronic and acute conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, high-risk pregnancies, and digestive disorders such as IBS, IBD, UC, and GERD.

Before becoming a dietitian, I worked in research, managing projects related to prediabetes and diabetes prevention, as well as smoking cessation. I became a dietitian because I wanted to work directly with people and support them on their journey to healing and managing their health. With my research background, I take an evidence-based approach grounded in science. I strive to provide education that helps patients understand their conditions, develop effective management skills, improve long-term health outcomes, and prevent chronic illness.

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, exploring new coffee shops around the city, taking long walks with my family, and baking.

I look forward to partnering with you and supporting your progress toward better health.
