Background
I’m a Registered Dietitian providing medical nutrition therapy for both English & Spanish-speaking communities. When I’m not practicing as a dietitian, you can find me traveling the world or catching a quick boxing workout. Specializations: Diabetes, Heart Disease, High Cholesterol, High Blood Pressure, Weight Loss/Management, General Nutrition and Wellness, Hispanic Culture & Cuisine, Plant-based eating. Said was born and raised in Southern California. He received his Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Food Sciences from CSU San Bernardino and Masters in Public Health from CSU San Marcos. He was encouraged to purse an education in nutrition after learning of family members that were diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, and who struggled to find adequate resources and guidance. Said is well-versed in plant-based lifestyles but also believes that a wholesome lifestyle is one that practices balance of all foods.

Approach
"My approach when providing nutrition care is patient-centered with the goal of meeting the patient where they are at. My relationship with my patients is a partnership, 50% is what I provide as your dietitian and 50% is what you apply to your lifestyle. I am both a motivator and a supporter in your health journey. My goal for our sessions is to make sure you walk away feeling informed, enthused and ready to accomplish your goals."
