Background
Ready to make nutrition enjoyable, manageable, and stress-free?
It is time to Eat & Nourish!
Cenida Gomez-Flores is a Southern California–based Registered Dietitian with a master’s degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from Loma Linda University. As the founder of Eat & Nourish, her mission is to make healthy eating easier to practice and healthy living an achievable and empowering journey for everyone.
During nutrition visits, Cenida takes a holistic approach to health by discussing not only nutrition, but also physical activity, sleep, stress, and interpersonal relationships, recognizing the strong connection these areas have with diet, overall health, and well-being.
She blends nutrition and exercise education with mindset support while incorporating balanced and plant-forward nutrition strategies to help clients manage:
- High blood pressure / hypertension
- High cholesterol
- Picky eating
- Prediabetes
- Type 2 diabetes
- Weight management
- Overall wellness and disease prevention
Whether you need cooking tips, meal and snack ideas, nutrition education, exercise guidance, or a boost of confidence in a judgment-free space, she is ready to support you.
Over the past five years as a dietitian, she has provided nutrition support to patients ages 2 and older from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Fluent in both English and Spanish, she strives to create meaningful connections with clients while providing a supportive and personalized experience.
Before becoming a dietitian, she spent seven years working in hospital settings as an emergency medical technician and phlebotomist, experiences that helped shape her compassionate and practical approach to care. During that time, she realized she wanted to help people improve their health proactively through nutrition and lifestyle habits before more intensive medical care became necessary.
Beyond her healthcare experience, Cenida also has experience creating smoothies and wellness beverages through her work with a popular smoothie company. Ready to blend up something nutritious and delicious?
Outside of work, Cenida enjoys spending time outdoors soaking up fresh air and sunlight, getting creative through crafting, trying new restaurants, and simply exploring the beauty the world has to offer.
