About John Canlas
*Please read before booking*
Please note that to serve you the best way possible, you will receive a text or email from me through my client portal called "Practice Better" as soon as you book. You will be able to sign forms, upload documents, and schedule follow-ups. Please note a doctor's referral is REQUIRED for nutrition visits.
As a registered dietitian nutritionist, educated at California State University, San Bernardino with a Bachelor's in Nutrition and Food Science, and having completed my internship there, I always ask people interested in improving their health, ?Do you ever feel like you don?t have as much ENERGY as you?re used to? Do you feel like you keep falling off the wagon when making healthier meals to help you feel more energized? Do you feel hopeless to CONTROL your health AND lose weight??
At John Canlas Nutrition, I?ve seen it all. I?ve heard from clients and patients who try to do it on their own, only to keep going through the vicious yo-yo diet cycle of gaining weight and losing weight, gaining and losing, and regaining.
The truth is, it?s really hard to change old diet, exercise, and lifestyle habits on your own. Each time you spend time and money on different diets or detoxes that don?t work, you lose trust in yourself and your ability to make it happen.
The missing piece to your weight loss success is support and accountability!
I also make nutrition easy to follow so that you can lose that FIRST 15-20 pounds and manage your blood sugar with or without a meal plan!
If you?re tired of being tired, don?t feel like you have energy, and WANT to take control of your health and confidence, I?d love to work with you.
I will listen to your struggles and build you a customized road map to your goals.
Whether it's trying to get out of fad diets, getting started with your good eating habits again, or wanting to get in shape, I got you covered. I've worked with clients who want to get fit and healthier through the power of nutrition!

John helped me fix my mindset around food which is something I really did need help with.I have a good knowledge base of nutrition but my mindset needed to be where it’s at now so that I can lose weight and keep it off. I’m not yet at my goal weight yet but John’s help has been leading me in the right direction.

He was able to give me strategies on how to meal prep and how to save time to prepare my meals. I haven’t lost weight yet but my habits are MUCH better off than before I started working with him.

Although I only had a couple of sessions with him, I felt that having someone to guide me on what the “truth” is from a professional is really helpful. There’s a lot of stuff out there that I’m not sure if it’s true or not and John was able to clear my conscious that I can eat carbs without gaining weight.

He is very professional and very knowledgeable about what he does. He was able to give me some suggestions on how to reduce my calories without feeling too deprived.

John helped me lose the 10 lbs I gained since working from home. I didn’t realize I was eating all that food and snacking and John was able to give me some alternatives without feeling deprived.
More than 1 year agoKJ
Most of the help I needed was my lifestyle - not necessarily what I knew about nutrition. I already knew enough. It was putting it together - which John helped me did

“I wanted to lose 15 lbs and although I did not lose all of it, I did lose some and gained something much more valuable - good habits. But the most important thing is that you can’t just see him for one time and expect change. Change takes time.”

“I developed better habits and although I did not lose any weight, I felt like the changes I’ve made me so much healthier and I have a better relationship with food.”

Being John as my coach gave me the clarity to prioritize my health and food intake. He has provided me with the best coaching I’ve experienced online. I highly recommend John as a nutrition coach if you’re looking to live healthier this year.

John really has given me the knowledge to help me eat healthier and sustain it without feeling deprived. I really recommend John and his services if your goal is to get started on weight loss goals, improve your health, and best of all sustain it for the rest of your life!

I don’t exercise and don’t eat healthy foods. John introduced me to healthy living and taking care of myself. I started doing my daily steps and improved my overall health with John’s help. He mapped out a goal for me to achieve and made me accountable so I can reach my goal to be healthier and fit. John’s coaching has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made in 2022.

Working with John during a few sessions we had was a pleasure. He clarified some of the things I was confused about, especially with so much information on the internet. He makes things practical and easy to understand regarding the science of nutrition, weight loss, and overall living a healthier lifestyle. I recommend John if your goal is to have long-lasting results when it comes to your weight.

By working with John, he was able to put an action plan for me to get me to stay on track without any fad diets. He gave me the support, accountability, and goals I need so that I could lose weight, have a better relationship with food, and most of all eat better all without yo-yo dieting. I was able to lose weight without feeling too deprived.

Before I started working with John, my diet was all over the place. I literally don’t have a goal with my health and nutrition. John explained to me in a very sensible way and made me understand things easily and I was able to manage and improve my health with John’s support. I created a goal while working with him and did it side by side with him. He supported me during my journey and I couldn’t be more thankful for John. I highly recommend working with John! He’s the best.

A wonderful nutritionist . Very focussed and vast knowledge about his work and his diets are do able . He is also in tune with the medical world our health problems and how to overcome it by having a healthy diet. He is very caring and respects the condition of his clients.
More than 1 year agoME
John is an outstanding nutritionist! Very focused and an abundance of knowledge about his work and his take on “diets” or as he would like to call “lifestyle change” is doable to many. He has experience with clients that have reversed specific obesity related diseases because of his “lifestyle change” coaching. He is also connected to the medical world and is referred by many doctors. He is also very patient, caring and respects the condition of his clients. I have lost 30 pounds because of his guidance. I highly recommend John Canlas Nutrition!

He's very responsive and informative. He's a big help on my fitness journey. I learned a lot from him that you can still have food that you love while reaching your fitness goal! I mean I can still have pizza and wont feel guilty about it! Lol
Thank you!
