Hi there! I’m Sydney Vargas, an RDN from Oakland, CA. My interest in nutrition was sparked at Diablo Valley College with a Nutrition 101 elective course my first year, and I fell in love with the science. Since then I’ve been completely immersed in all things nutrition, along the way I’ve received the completed the following accomplishments;
Associate of Science in Nutrition Science, Allied Health, and Natural Science. A Bachelor of Science with twin concentrations in Community Nutrition as well as Dietetics. As well as a 1200-hour dietetic internship across various organizations like the Alameda County Health Department, and WIC in Oakland as well as many other organizations throughout the East Bay. I’m currently honing my expertise at the University of California Davis, working towards a Masters of Advanced Study in Maternal and Child Nutrition.
My academic background shapes my understanding of how critical nutrition is throughout life, and underscores the connections between our past nutritional habits and present health.
In my private practice, you’ll find a evidence-based nutrition counseling, a deep respect for individual needs, and a welcoming environment. I believe in fostering a partnership with my clients, where together we work towards achieving your nutritional goals
