About Maria Jose Aguado
This provider is not licensed in the state of NY, CT.
I became interested in becoming an RD after I graduated from Florida State University and was working in a medical practice as a medical assistant. I was seeing many patients coming in with a variety of health concerns and noted that many of their concerns could be addressed and aided by changing their nutrition habits. I went on to earn my Master's in Nutrition and Dietetics from Florida International University.
I am passionate about helping my patients learn to use nutrition to reach their health and fitness goals with a supportive and science-based approach.
My preferred cultural dish or comfort food is Ajiaco, and my morning beverage of choice is a matcha latte. An essential part of my sleep ritual is my skincare routine. I enjoy the book, TV show, and movie "Friday Night Lights" and "The Office." A useful tip for grocery shopping is to prepare a list beforehand. I firmly believe in the importance of obtaining eight hours of sleep, as it benefits both mind and body.
Growing up in a Colombian household meant that meals often included arepas, bu?uelos, and empanadas. Even though these foods aren't the most nutrient dense, there's plenty of room for them in a balanced diet.
I intentionally learn about my patients' cultures and how they've informed their eating habits. It helps me help them incorporate traditional foods into a mindful diet, rather than removing them, so they can find joy in building new habits while honoring their cultural traditions.
