Carla Yaldezian-Estrada, RD
Background
As a registered dietitian with a master’s degree in nutrition, I bring over a decade of experience supporting individuals with kidney disease, diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, and obesity. Over the years, I've gained a deep understanding of the complex challenges these conditions create, and I am deeply passionate about helping people navigate their health with confidence, clarity, and support. My goal is to empower individuals to take control of their well-being and make informed, lasting changes that improve their lives.
I’ve witnessed firsthand how the foods we choose impact every body system—whether it’s gut health, blood sugar regulation, heart health, or metabolism. The right nutrition can be transformative, restoring balance and healing from within. My approach blends evidence-based practices with a strong focus on whole foods, not just to address physical health but also to support mental well-being. I believe nutrition is a powerful tool that can heal the body, calm the mind, and ultimately enhance the quality of life.
I take a personalized, holistic approach to nutrition, tailoring strategies that fit each individual’s unique lifestyle, preferences, and health needs. Whether working with individuals managing chronic conditions or simply looking to optimize their health, I focus on key areas such as gut health, hormonal balance, and metabolic function. Above all, I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space for open, honest conversations. I recognize that each person’s health journey is unique, and by working together, we can craft a plan that aligns with their goals, fosters trust, and promotes lasting health and well-being.
