“Vanessa has been an incredible resource on my health journey. Her support with PCOS has gone far beyond just food—she’s helped me understand how nutrition, movement, and mindset all work together. What stands out most is how approachable and nonjudgmental she is, which makes it easy to open up and stay consistent. I’ve made real progress thanks to her practical, personalized guidance. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and knowledgeable dietitian.”

About Vanessa Alardo

Ready to transform your health without feeling overwhelmed? Whether you’re managing PCOS, navigating menopause, using GLP-1 medications, or simply want more energy and vitality, I’m here to help you create lasting change. Nutrition can be a powerful gateway to better lab results, reduced inflammation, and improved insulin sensitivity. Together, we’ll build sustainable habits that help you feel stronger and thrive long term. I speak both English and Spanish and will meet you exactly where you are. We’ll create a personalized plan that fits your lifestyle, often drawing from evidence-based approaches like Mediterranean-style, plant-forward eating patterns that support hormone, metabolic, and digestive health. Because I live with menopause and follow a Mediterranean style of eating myself, you’ll receive practical recipe ideas, guidance, and ongoing support every step of the way. Using motivational interviewing, I help you create changes that feel realistic and sustainable. Our work together can help you: • Achieve and maintain weight loss • Manage and improve PCOS symptoms • Navigate menopause and reduce symptoms • Optimize nutrition while using GLP-1 medications • Reverse prediabetes or manage Type 2 diabetes • Lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides • Manage IBS with a Low FODMAP approach • Heal your relationship with food and reduce binge eating • Support fertility and pregnancy • Reduce anxiety and depression through nutrition • Support ARFID With a Master’s in Public Health and Dietetics from Loma Linda University, I combine strong scientific training with lived experience overcoming childhood obesity and navigating early menopause. I understand how small, consistent changes lead to meaningful results. 48-Hour Cancellation Policy: Please give at least 48 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations may incur a fee.

In just 4 weeks, I've become a more mindful eater. I have lost weight and reduced stress!
Vanessa has been an incredible resource on my health journey. Her support with PCOS has gone far beyond just food—she’s helped me understand how nutrition, movement, and mindset all work together. What stands out most is how approachable and nonjudgmental she is, which makes it easy to open up and stay consistent. I’ve made real progress thanks to her practical, personalized guidance. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and knowledgeable dietitian.
Working with Vanessa has been such a positive experience. She brings a great balance of expertise and empathy to her sessions, offering advice that feels both realistic and personalized. I’ve felt truly heard and supported every step of the way. If you're looking for a dietitian who meets you where you are and helps you move forward with confidence, she’s a fantastic choice.
Vanessa brings both expertise and heart to her work with kids and teens. She has a natural way of making nutrition feel approachable and engaging, even for younger audiences. Her commitment to my son’s growth has been amazing to witness. We genuinely feel grateful to have her in our corner and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others.
I had such a great experience connecting with Vanessa today. Right from the start, she created a warm and welcoming vibe that made it easy to open up. She really took the time to understand my unique situation and offered thoughtful, realistic suggestions that actually felt doable. Her approach was down-to-earth, informative, and incredibly supportive. I walked away from our session feeling inspired, equipped with a clear plan, and genuinely excited about moving forward with my nutrition goals. If you're looking for someone who blends professionalism with real compassion, Vanessa is an excellent choice.
I've been working with Vanessa for about a month now, and I'm incredibly impressed with her support and guidance. She's incredibly attentive, providing personalized advice and action plans tailored to my specific goals and needs. Beyond her expertise, she's also incredibly kind and supportive, creating a comfortable and encouraging environment. I wholeheartedly recommend Vanessa to anyone seeking guidance and support in their nutrition/health journeys!
I am working with Vanessa for my PCOS and she recommended that I start taking specific vitamins and to focus on low impact movement. I started incorporating walking everyday with my daily vitamins and my food noise/cravings have significantly decreased. I can tell night and day how much more my blood sugar is being regulated. If you are someone struggling with your hormones being dysregulated in any way, she is the Dietician for you.
Vanessa is awesome
Vanessa is an outstanding dietitian who brings professionalism and genuine care to every interaction. She’s a great listener, speaks with clarity, and always has thoughtful, practical advice to share. Her enthusiasm for health is infectious, and she’s full of innovative ideas, especially when it comes to trying out new recipes. Vanessa has a special talent for guiding others, and she does so with kindness and generosity. Her ability to communicate effectively and encourage responses makes her truly stand out. Huge thanks to Vanessa for her incredible guidance and support!
Vanessa is very knowledgeable, friendly and down to earth. She is also extremely patient and encouraging, she’s been very impactful and helpful on my weight management/conception journey. I couldn't ask for a better dietitian!!
It was like finding a new friend, cheerleader, supporter, encourager. Vanessa knows how to dig deep and is very intuitive. She is super responsive and seemingly always available. Vanessa helped me take a wholistic approach to nutrition and self care.
Although weight loss was a natural byproduct of eating more intuitively; the weight loss is close to nothing compared to how freeing it is to no longer feel shame around food. I now have a newfound trust and compassion for myself with every food decision I make. This mental weight lifted off my shoulders is truly life changing.
Working with Vanessa will be the beginning of the best part of your life. I have learned so much about food, and have lost weight as a result of implementing what I've learned. I feel so much better all around.
I think about so many other things other than food. I’m planning better so I don’t get caught off guard, I’m letting go of prior diet mindsets of ‘good and bad’ food, I’m paying attention to my hunger and what my body is telling me, I’m planning snacks, varying my movement and exercise and focusing on positive thoughts for myself.
Working with Vanessa, I started eating more intuitively and focusing on creating self-awareness around my food habits. I now consume foods that make my body feel good and give me energy for my workouts and socializing.
After I found Vanessa I finally was (for the first time in my LIFE) not feeling any shame around food. The amount of mental weight that has been lifted off my shoulders is literally life changing. Highly recommend!
Okay, I’m actually blown away right now, it’s working!! I just looked at the scale and I am down 7 pounds!!!!!!!! This has been the most stress free weight loss experience of my life ??????
Initially It was all about weight loss. Vanessa has helped me realize there's so much more to consider. It was very eye opening. I thought I knew a lot more than I did. I knew how to read labels, count macros, etc., but I wasn't finding success with my health. It was definitely a learning curve but Vanessa is so patient and encouraging - even when she had to tell me the same things over and over. I felt heard and understood. I've struggled with my relationship with food and exercise for a long time. Vanessa helped me realize my toxic traits and helped me shift my mindset to be a more mindful eater. It has truly been life changing.
