Background
Well, hello there and hola!
My name is Dan Navarro and when not DJing on the one’s and two’s or playing my guitar for my dog T.Rex, I am a registered dietitian and a certified diabetes care and education specialist.
Diabetes is my first passion and have worked in multiple Endocrine centers where I helped with insulin adjustments followed by physician approval. I have also worked with all CGM products including insertion and interpretation of the CGM reports as well. Additionally, I have worked with insulin pumps and assisted with insulin pump starts. I have also helped patients with understanding their diabetes medication.
As a RD, I have created multiple classes and programs whether it be from diabetes management to weight loss to understanding bariatric nutrition. I have done it all. I also specialize in GI disorders and have worked with IBD and IBS in helping with dietary changes to help with symptom relief and understanding of the diseases.
Currently, I have been working on weight loss and working with all weight loss medications and helping my clients get the best results from these medications. We don’t just focus on the medication but focus on what the medication is teaching you and making changes to habits and trends and triggers.
My passion for all these issues is because I either have been affected by them or have family members who have. My family members have struggled with diabetes and have lost family members due to the complications of diabetes. My goal is to educate my clients so that we create hope and not fear diabetes. I personally have struggled with weight all my life and understand the struggle and finally, I have been diagnosed with IBS for the past ten years and understand what the day-to-day struggle can be.
I am client centered and treat everyone with respect. I am also bilingual and fluent in Spanish and understand the Latin American culture. Everyone is unique in their own way and so should their nutrition. My mentality is that I won’t give up if you don’t give up. My end goal for you is to fire me because you are confident in your dietary habits and knowledge.
Let’s get to work!

Approach
Nutrition is hard, there is so much information out there that can make it overwhelming. My goal is to make nutrition simple. Eat the foods you enjoy and still get the results you want. I focus on your habits and lifestyle and together we make real changes that require minimal effort. I value culture, your likes and needs. Let me help you break away from the constant dieting and lets work on a diet that is sustainable and worth while.
