Here’s our story

I started Designed for Health because I saw the need for culturally inclusive nutrition guidance that respects tradition and empowers lasting change. Growing up, food was always at the heart of family gatherings—filled with love, laughter, and connection. But I also saw the struggle of family members dealing with health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease, often feeling like they had to abandon their favorite foods to improve their health.

I knew there had to be a better way.

As a Registered Dietitian, I’ve dedicated my career to helping people rediscover the balance between health and culture. I specialize in helping the Hispanic community make small, meaningful changes that fit into real life—because I believe that food should bring joy, not guilt.

At Designed for Health, we believe that our bodies are created with the ability to heal, thrive, and function at their best when given the right nourishment. Health is not about restriction or giving up the foods we love—it’s about balance, tradition, and honoring the wisdom of our own bodies.

For too long, mainstream nutrition has overlooked the richness of Hispanic foods, promoting diets that feel foreign to our culture. But the truth is, we don’t have to give up our favorite meals to be healthy. From frijoles to nopales, to arroz con pollo—our traditional foods are deeply rooted in nourishment. At Designed for Health, we help you embrace the flavors of your heritage while making mindful choices that support your well-being.

Honoring Culture. Nourishing Health. Empowering You.
