Marlo Paredes, RD

Hello there and welcome to my bio! I am a board certified Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) and have worked in this field for about 20 years. I am passionate about helping you heal your body from within and achieving optimal wellness through personalized nutrition therapy. Every patient’s dietary needs are special and I’d love to help you become the expert of your nutrition journey.

​

​

My approach to nutritional therapy is deeply rooted in a holistic philosophy that goes beyond simple calorie counting and weight management. I tell my patients, “The longest relationship you will ever have in your life is with food, do you want that relationship to be toxic or healthy?” I also understand that true well-being encompasses all aspects of your life. Together, we will explore lifestyle factors that influence your health and create a tailored diet plan to guide you on your journey to lasting wellness. I believe in the transformative power of nutrition and am dedicated to supporting you in achieving a healthier, happier future.

My passion for dietetics and using food as medicine stems from a rare autoimmune condition I was diagnosed with in my early 20’s. I went to 3 different countries for 3 years and found that there was no cause or cure for my condition so I was relegated to a wheelchair in immense bodily pain… but then I met a Registered Dietitian. At the time, I could not work and insurance did not cover dietitian visits, but she did not care, she wanted to help me and she did so for free. Six weeks into working with her I was out of a wheelchair, enrolled back into college, and she hired me as her understudy! I’ve been pain free and in full remission for over two decades due to her kindness. Hence, I became a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist so that I could elevate people’s lives and help them heal using food as medicine as well!
