Whether it is weight loss or weight management, managing a dietary condition, or developing a healthy relationship with food, Palacios Nutrition Counseling offers a variety of services and packages designed to meet your needs.
Bio
Our Approach
The main force behind Palacios Nutrition Counseling is a deep desire to work alongside individuals to achieve their long-term health goals. As a Registered Dietitian I thrive on personalized care because literally every body is SO different and may need a different approach. I could care less about organic or paleo or keto or fill-in-the-blank diet here. I promise to educate you as much as you’re willing to learn. I am an advocate of knowing the “why”. Yet, for most of us, we struggle with the basics and just need somebody to come alongside us to hold us accountable. Allow me to be that for you.
In this ever-evolving world of nutrition, I aim to give the most up-to-date advice based on current research and not the latest "fad". Nutrition is an ever-evolving science not an ‘opinion’. An old professor once told me, “Nutrition is biochemistry in epic action!” So whether you want to meet in person, over video or any combination of the two, let’s find a way to help you use food as well while also learning a few things along the way! Look forward to hearing from you!

Nutritionist Vs Registered Dietitian
What's The Difference?
One of the top questions I’m asked is, "What’s the difference between a nutritionist and a dietitian?" In my opinion, the difference lies in the depth, scope, length, and type of formal education and training. The term nutritionist isn’t regulated, so technically, anyone can call himself or herself a nutritionist, even with no formal training, license, or certification. Dietitian, specifically registered dietitian, noted by RD after one’s name, or RDN for registered dietitian nutritionist (note: both RD and RDN are used by dietitians), has a specific meaning. That title requires 1) a minimum of a four year college degree from an accredited university’s program that includes specific course work in human physiology, nutrition science, and other sciences 2) a 1,200 hour supervised hands-on internship 3) passing a comprehensive examination and 4) completing ongoing continuing education. RDs/RDNs are also held to a professional code of ethics.
