Jose Guzman, RDN — providing nutrition counseling that's real, respectful, and rooted in science

Jose Guzman registered dietitian nutritionist.

Hi, I'm Jose! I've been a licensed dietitian since 2017. Before becoming a dietitian, I thought that I would become a chef because I love to cook. I even graduated from culinary school, but at the time, I was the heaviest and sickest I had ever been. I was prediabetic, hypertensive, tired, and unmotivated.​ I grew up in a big Mexican family, and for us, food was the ultimate sign of love. Unfortunately, too often that means eating too many foods that can create a lifetime of negative health outcomes. One day, I woke up and realized that I had enough. Within a year, I lost over 100 pounds, reversed these health conditions, and enrolled in a nutrition program to become a dietitian. 

I have family, friends, and patients that have struggled in the same exact way, no matter their background. Sometimes the way we eat is due to our culture, environment, or family, but we have the power to change these stories and health outcomes. That’s why you never have to feel insecure or ashamed to speak with me—I've been there myself. 

In my free time when I’m not cooking or working with clients, I love weightlifting, mountain biking, and salsa dancing.

Why work with me

Let's be honest, most dietitians you see on social media love to jump on the bandwagon of every new fad diet and trendy ingredient out there. This can make most dietitians unrelatable and not useful for the average person starting from a baseline nutritional knowledge. Not me.

Balanced nutrition approach for weight loss on GLP-1s like ozempic, mounjaro, wegovy, chronic kidney disease, prediabetes

With me:

  • You'll build a strong nutritional foundation so that you can make the healthiest choices without being deceived by dietitians and influencers looking to make a profit from sponsored products.

  • You'll get in the kitchen and improve your cooking skills so that you can prepare simple and healthy meals for you and your family. 

  • You'll feel confident to go out on your own and take charge of your own health. I won't keep you coming back for more appointments just to bill your insurance when it is no longer necessary.

What past clients say:

"I am learning so much about the type of foods to eat and how the fiber, protein and carbs all come together in order to keep my blood sugar at a stable rate. I am learning so much in just the two sessions I have had, it is unbelievable how much I did not know. Jose is an excellent dietitian. I am so thankful I found him."
