Health at Every Size® Healthcare Provider Listing

My choice to become a dietitian was greatly influenced by my sister's eating disorder when we were teenagers then my personal nature led me to specialize in human physiology. I started studying childhood obesity in Mexico in 2004. Since then, realizes how important it is to personalize a nutrition therapy and show respect for all body types. Despite my academic preparation, I realized that in the real world people live is completely different, there is a strong therapeutic stigma towards fat people and since 2019 i change my vision and my therapeutic paths with a HAES approach. I try to keep patients safe, not only since they arrive in the studio, I try to build a network with specialist doctors, their psychotherapists and family. Alone you don't go anywhere. I am strongly convinced that ideas, habits and respect can be contagious so I try to use neutral and non-judgmental language even in my everyday life, with my family and friends. In family, we try to respect individual hunger and satiety, at table we vary and try to maintain a Mediterranean style without demonizing food, we have fun cooking times and even our cats are free to eat. In my free time I love reading and embroidering, I adore long walks, bike rides and visiting the traditional italian markets.
