“Doc Az was well prepared for my visit and filled in the blanks as we chatted. He listened to all my complaints and we brainstormed together to ameliorate my symptoms going over current supplements and medications. I’m thrilled to have such a patient, brilliant, personable nutritionist. Can’t wait to make all the dietary changes he proposes , implementing them one at a time and reporting back in a few weeks.”

About John Azevedo
If planning to pay through insurance, please confirm with your insurance that Nutrition Counseling is a covered service before booking. Many plans have specific guidelines or require certain diagnoses, such as Medicare requiring Diabetes or Kidney Failure, and may need a doctor's referral.
Hi, I'm John Azevedo. I have been navigating nutrition for optimal health for over a decade. I've practiced as a dietitian in clinical, sports, community, and corporate settings. My goal is always to help clients improve how they feel by setting small, actionable lifestyle changes to build a solid foundation of health for a fulfilling life.
My education combines clinical and performance nutrition. I earned my Bachelor's from the University of California and my Master’s in Clinical Nutrition at the University of Utah. During my internship at Utah, I completed rounds with the collegiate athletics program and the state's largest hospital.
Currently, I work with individuals with various goals. I am a bariatric dietitian with Methodist Hospital of Sacramento and in private practice, helping clients:
- Improve Relationships With Food
- Manage Medical Issues like Diabetes, Hypertension, Hyperlipidemia
- Gain Strength and Muscle Mass
- Improve Energy Levels / Manage Appetite
- Meal Plan and Stay Ahead of Hunger
- Decrease Inflammation
- Improve Bowel Health and GI Issues
- Break the Diet Mentality
My goal is to be a judgment-free teammate who helps you try new things you feel confident and comfortable with. Whether a detailed meal plan or simple lifestyle changes, we set objectives together, test them, and continue until you reach your goals.
I look forward to working with you!

Very patient and listens well.

One of the things I appreciated most about him was his ability to tailor his recommendations to my specific needs. He understood that making drastic changes to my diet all at once might be overwhelming, so he suggested small changes that I could make gradually.
Overall, I felt like I was in good hands with my dietician. He was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cared about helping me improve my health. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for guidance on improving their diet.

John's guidance leading up to and now, right after my sleeve surgery was invaluable to me. He is an excellent communicator, knows his trade to a point of perfection, and really gave me confidence moving forward. He also kept me from making poor choices, in a very respectful way. He answered every call or text as quick as he could, and never gave me "cursory" attention. He was always present and focused on me when we spoke. Thank you John!!

John gets high praise for the professional manner in which he handles his position. Whether it is an educational zoom meeting, an appointment on zoom, or in person.
I have heard other patients express their appreciation for John and his ability to help when there are questions.
This has been a very positive experience.

John is very knowledgeable about the bariatric diet. He gives great advice and I have reaped the benefits of his knowledge. He is also available if I have questions on the outside of our Bi- monthly phone calls. Our bariatric community is very lucky to have this professional on our teams!!!

John has a way of explaining things that helped me clearly understand and he always gives time for questions and I really appreciate the handbook that is given to Bariatric patients.
More than 1 year agoNW
John is my dietician before and after my bariatric surgery and I can honestly say I would not be as successful as I am now if I had not started meeting with him months before. He has really helped me change dietary habits and learn about how my body processes the food it gets. I was so much more prepared for this huge life change. Even now, if I have questions - any questions, John gets back to me quickly and with helpful guidance. He is a pleasant, friendly and understanding person and I'll be continuing to use him for all my nutritional service needs. You will not be disappointed!
