With over 20 years of experience working directly with patients, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with neurologists, mental health professionals, and primary care providers. This extensive background has provided me with a deep understanding of the complex conditions that can significantly impact a person’s quality of life. My approach combines this wealth of experience with advanced education, including a Master of Science in Clinical Nutrition, certification as a personal trainer, and ongoing studies in the Doctorate of Clinical Nutrition program.
As a functional medicine practitioner, I take a holistic approach to health, focusing on the root causes of symptoms rather than just managing them. I work closely with my clients to create personalized, science-based plans that address their unique needs, helping them reduce disease symptoms, enhance strength, improve nutrition, and achieve optimal wellness.
I am not a weight loss or diet coach—I’m a weight-inclusive practitioner committed to helping individuals embrace lifelong health without the constraints of fad diets. My goal is to empower clients to make sustainable changes that support their overall well-being, regardless of their weight.
I believe that wellness should be accessible to everyone, no matter their financial situation. That’s why I offer a scholarship appointment each month. If these slots are full, I’ll add you to a waitlist and make every effort to accommodate you as soon as possible. Don’t hesitate to ask about these scholarship opportunities—your health is important, and I’m here to help.
As private donations become available, I’ll expand these scholarship slots to reach even more individuals in need, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to achieve their best health.
Hi, I’m Cynthia Esparza
