Leda Medina, RD
Background
I am direct and get to the root of the problem. I will dive deep and get to know who you are so that I can better assist you. You can expect to learn how to eat and feel confident in your food choices, learn to listen to your hunger and fullness cues and respond to them, review barriers that may be holding you back from reaching your goals, obtain a healthy and positive relationship with food. If you have a specific goal such as lowering cholesterol, lowering A1C we also focus on eating foods that can help with these as well. Because nutrition is personal, I focus on getting to know who you are so I can tailor the education and recommendations to your individual needs.
I am a bilingual (Spanish speaker) Certified Diabetes Educator with over ten years of experience as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist.
I believe everyone deserves access to a dietitian because knowing how to nourish oneself is imperative to a persons mind and body and impacts their lives and the communities around them.
I am of Nicaraguan heritage, a foodie, and am an extroverted social butterfly.
I became a dietitian because I love food and the many purposes it serves: nourishment, longevity, celebrations, energy, spice and color.
