Meet Clinical Nutritionist Vicky Carrillo, MS
Health, Nutrition & Food Are My Passion
Thank you for visiting DBN! When it comes to nutrition, my motto is, "It has to be balanced, it has to be your sweet spot." I am a Clinical Nutritionist, board Certified Nutrition Specialist® (CNS®) candidate with a Master’s Degree in Health Science, Human Nutrition.
I provide a personalized health and nutrition analysis, and recommendations based on the unique physiology and overall lifestyle of individuals.
I help clients identify possible nutrient deficiencies/insufficiencies based on a functional/wholistic approach to enhance their health.
I specialize in working with clients who:
- Have concerns with their gut symptoms or are facing GI challenges affecting their quality of life
- Have been diagnosed with IBS, IBD, or IBM
- Have been diagnosed as prediabetic or diabetic
- Have concerns with their sugar levels
*I am opened to guiding clients nutritionally with other health conditions upon request. Let's connect and we can discuss. Book a 15 min. free consultation.
My Story
Have you ever been to the doctor's office with lab work results that everything looks "good”, yet you don't feel good? How could my results be normal? This was me several years ago. In fact, I felt miserable, confused and frustrated with the limited information that was provided. Sound familiar?
My symptoms were gut issues, along with anxiety, skin issues, hormonal issues, neurological issues, all of which were reciprocally connected. However, at the time I did not realize these symptoms were linked to one another. The diagnosis was a very common condition known as irritable bowel syndrome or IBS, a diagnosis given in the absence of any other causative disease. Medications were a temporary solution, which only made my condition worse over time. I literally trusted my gut and it was then when I began to read, research, and learn about the body on a physiological level as it relates to nutrition and overall health.
My inquisitive nature led me to a journey where I discovered nutrition was a sustainable solution. In fact, nutrition plays a significant role in many of the most common health conditions that continue to rise in the U.S. - diabetes, obesity, autoimmune conditions, anxiety, and depression, just to name a few. I learned that symptoms vary for individuals and are manifested in different ways. That is why I became passionate about Personalized Nutrition. This motivated me to dive deeper into the field and to eventually educate and motivate others about it.
My hope is that I can provide the guidance you are looking for to discover how you can optimize your health. I am super excited to help you discover your sweet spot with food and nutrition! Let's work from the inside to reflect your health on the outside!
