About Camila Silva

Welcome! I'm Camila, a queer, small-fat, first-generation Latina dietitian passionate about inspiring people, building community, and transforming healthcare.

With a decade of experience, my background includes undergraduate degrees in psychology, a Master of Science in Nutritional Science from San José State University, and a dietetic internship at Stanford Health Care and Nutrition Therapy Essentials. I’ve worked with individuals and groups in IOP/PHP settings for teens and adults, and provided clinical nutrition therapy in hospitals, skilled nursing, and long-term care facilities.

Supporting your nutrition journey is a privilege. My approach is compassionate and client-centered, honoring your personal goals and experiences. Together, we will create a safe, judgment-free space where enjoying food that is accessible, affordable, and culturally meaningful is a priority, mental health is always considered, and…
