Rocio Garcia, RD

Hi there! I am Rocio, a registered dietitian and licensed nutritionist who joined the field because I have always been passionate about food and nutrition. As most of us, I grew up thinking about diet as restrictive and not inclusive of some of our favorite foods, so I have dedicated my career to helping people develop a healthy relationship with food. As a clinical dietitian I have also helped people with diagnosis that require changes in the diet like kidney disease, diabetes, hormonal balance, disordered eating and digestive disorders, to name a few. This knowledge also brought me to writing a recipe book for Hispanics with kidney disease as I found little to no resources for Hispanics with kidney issues. I enjoy cooking and experimenting with baking (I was told once that baking was an exact formulation if you wanted to be able to eat your products, but I have proven it wrong! I am based in Miami so I also very much enjoy runs outside (yes, it's hot) and trips to the beach with my dog Chela.
