Hello! I’m Sophie Rodrigues, a non-judgmental, food-loving Registered Dietitian. I’ve worked in the nutrition field for six years with people from all different backgrounds and ages.
During my chilldhood in southern California, my father was a farmer growing baby carrots. This started my interest in nutritioin and what made certain foods healthful for people. I went on to study Nutrition and Dietetics at Cal Poly Pomona, and after wrorking in the nutrition feild for three years, I returned to Cal Poly for my dietetic internship. Since becoming an RD, I have worked in public health nutrition, counseling individuals with varying illnesses and nutritional needs.
From my first hand experience I have witnessed the effect nutrition can have on health and wellbeing and how crucial nutrition support is. There are many supplements and diets out there with speculated health benefits, and many experience shame around eating and weight. It can be confusing and overwhelming for people to know what is actually true. So, I ventured out to start my own practice.
I specialize in helping patients with weight management as well as metabolic disorders, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and PCOS. I also have a passion for working with women who are pregnant and postpartum. Whatever your nutritional needs may be, I want to walk alongside and support you in your journey towards better health. My focus is always on what is healthy for YOU. I want to empower you to make the changes you want to see in your life, not just give you a meal plan that will only work for a few weeks. If you are looking to improve your relationship with food, create life-long healthy habits, and not stress over the number on the scale, I’m the dietitian for you.
