Background
Hi there! I am Rocio, a registered dietitian and licensed nutritionist who joined the field because I have always been passionate about food and nutrition. As most of us, I grew up thinking about diet as restrictive and not inclusive of some of our favorite foods, so I have dedicated my career to helping people develop a healthy relationship with food. As a clinical dietitian I have also helped people with diagnosis that require changes in the diet like kidney disease, diabetes, hormonal balance, disordered eating and digestive disorders, to name a few. This knowledge also brought me to writing a recipe book for Hispanics with kidney disease as I found little to no resources for Hispanics with kidney issues. I enjoy cooking and experimenting with baking (I was told once that baking was an exact formulation if you wanted to be able to eat your products, but I have proven it wrong! I am based in Miami so I also very much enjoy runs outside (yes, it's hot) and trips to the beach with my dog Chela.

Approach
"Hi, I am Rocio and I am here to help you enjoy food without stress. I have an anti-diet approach and believe that all foods can fit. Wether you are dealing with a new diagnosis or just want to get healthier, I want to show you how to implement your favorite foods. Having worked with different cultures, I have learned how overwhelming special diets can be. Meal times should be fun and simple! Let me help you develop a guilt-free relationship with food for you and your family."
