Michele Alonso, RD

I started my work in health & wellness in the fitness space. As much as I loved personal training, over the years I observed so many of my clients fall short of their fat loss goals over and over. I knew nutrition was the missing piece and after a few books and certifications, I decided to go to graduate school so I could truly be informed. This shift and being on both sides (fitness and nutrition) gives me a very unique perspective as a Registered Dietitian.

As a dietitian I have worked both inpatient and outpatient, from the ICU to leading group classes on healthy eating and weight loss techniques. I absolutely love to educate but also getting into the details of the day to day with my clients. HOW are we going to ensure that healthy lunch appears at 2pm? I have worked with clients with a wide variety of medical backgrounds such as gastrointestinal issues (IBS/IBD), diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, liver disorders, bariatrics and obesity. I have worked alongside endocrinologists and patients utilizing various weight loss medications.

I hold the Certified Specialist in Obesity and Weight Management (CSOWM) from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietitians. I decided to specialize in weight loss because not only are almost 80% of Americans struggling with obesity or overweight but I know that so many of the common co-morbidities are also weight related.

I strongly believe in everyone’s ability to make profound changes in their lives with nutrition and I’m excited to work with you!
