Meet Clinical Nutritionist Vicky Carrillo, MS, CNS Candidate
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 personalized health and nutrition 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 blood 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 started to feel miserable, confused and frustrated with the limited information that was provided. Sound familiar? I had symptoms such as anxiety, acne, inconsistent bowels, stomach pain, bloating, and in my case was diagnosed with IBS. However, I wasn’t pleased with the temporary relief from prescribed medication and all the side effects. This is when I started to learn about nutrition and about the body on a physiological level as it relates to nutrition. I became fascinated by the cellular functions, metabolic pathways, nutritional imbalances/deficiencies and how they are impacted by what we eat and its relationship to chronic disease.
My inquisitive nature led me to a journey where I discovered nutrition was the answer to all of my questions related to health. I was able to improve my condition without the need for medication. In fact, I learned 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 to increase awareness about nutrition, and I hope that I can provide the guidance you are looking for to discover how you can optimize your health. I discovered my sweet spot with nutrition and noticed significant improvements as a result. I am super excited to help you discover your sweet spot with nutrition!
