Over a 28 year career in the Healthcare Nutrition industry I've worked with hundreds of registered dietitians, so I consider myself a 'tough sell'.
After our first two discussions it is clear that Alex Balbontin is an experienced, knowledgeable, and serious practitioner. We have quickly developed a good rapport and are jumping right into our work together. I trust her and am looking forward to continuing the journey!

Alex was super professional, yet approachable. She listened carefully and I never felt rushed. She made me feel comfortable talking about my health and I didn’t feel judged or looked down upon as previous experiences elsewhere.

I'm going to be working with Alex as long as I can. There is so much to unlearn regarding how I think about food and my habits. I've already made so much progress in the short time I've worked with her. However, I understand that this is a lifelong journey towards optimal health.

Love it!

Before I met Alex, I did not understand how a nutritionist could help me beyond what doctors have told me in the past. It’s clear to me now that a good nutritionist like Alex is far more informative than doctors in terms of providing practical advice and solutions beyond what lab results show. Alex’s guidance took me out of the doldrums without having to make drastic lifestyle or food choices. I am healthier today because of her.
