Erika Villalobos, RD

Descriptive Bio

​

As a bilingual (Spanish/English) registered dietitian and former competitive athlete, I offer a unique blend of firsthand sports experience and clinical expertise to help my clients achieve their health and performance goals. Here’s what you can expect when working with me:

​

Expectations

You can expect a supportive, evidence-based approach tailored to your unique needs. My sessions are designed to provide actionable insights, whether you're looking to optimize athletic performance, manage weight, improve diabetes control, or navigate bariatric surgery. I aim to help you reach your goals without feeling deprived.

​

Focus Areas

I specialize in sports nutrition, weight management, diabetes care, and bariatric surgery. If you're an athlete seeking data-driven performance optimization, someone focused on weight loss or managing diabetes or has had bariatric surgery and is looking for a personalized approach you enjoy, we could be a great fit.

​

Credentials

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Nutrition and am board-certified in diabetes education (CDCES) and sports dietetics (CSSD). With over eight years of professional experience, I have worked with diverse populations, from elite athletes to patients in clinical settings. I’ve helped manage the largest bariatric program in the country and currently provide diabetes education and weight management support.

​

Get to Know Me

Beyond my professional expertise, I’m deeply committed to making a positive impact on my clients' lives. I bring a hands-on, interactive approach to education, ensuring you feel supported and informed every step of the way. I leverage my cultural background to connect with a wide range of clients, offering personalized care that respects and incorporates your individual needs and preferences.

​

Personal

When I’m not working, I enjoy strength training, hiking and watching sports. My personal experience as a competitive tennis player who achieved a top 100 Juniors ranking, was an All-American and represented Costa Rica in the Fed Cup team, fuels my passion for sports nutrition.

​

Drive

I became a dietitian because, as a teenager at a tennis academy playing 5 hours a day, I didn’t receive the nutrition support I needed. I wish I had that guidance back then, and it drives me to provide the support and knowledge I missed out on to others. Building a private practice allows me to offer personalized, impactful care to help others reach their full potential.

​

Working with me means receiving dedicated, individualized, evidence-based guidance and support, all aimed at helping you to strike the right balance to promote better health.
