Nutritionists and Dietitians near Pleasanton, CA

I believe that a multi-disciplinary approach works best when treating complex medical conditions. I have extensive experience working with a team of health care professionals to treat eating disorders, obesity and other complicated nutritional issues.

I specialize in digestive wellness including IBS, SIBO, celiac disease, gluten intolerance, Crohn's, food sensitivities, and real food. My mission is to educate, inspire and motivate you to become the healthiest version of yourself. I don’t just give you a plan and send you out the door. I support you throughout your journey. My goal is to get you to where you don’t need me! I will teach you how to follow my process on your own so that you can have ongoing, independent success. I provide telehealth services through a HIPAA-compliant platform allowing you to receive medical nutrition therapy at home or in the office.

You have the best intention to take care of your body, yet often feel anxious, frustrated, and overwhelmed with being unable to stick with the best diet or achieve the ideal weight deemed desirable by diet culture. Or, you have a list of "forbidden" food you don't trust yourself around them. You feel out of control, so you always restrict yourself from eating these "unsafe" food. You are tired of fighting with eating. You dream of having a peaceful relationship with food, where you enjoy the food you love without any negative emotional impact.

Have you been diagnosed with PCOS? Are you struggling with weight gain, irregular periods, infertility, fatigue, mood swings, brain fog, facial hair, acne and hair loss? I specialize in helping women with PCOS achieve weight loss and improve other PCOS symptoms through diet and lifestyle changes. I have additional expertise in general weight loss, diabetes and pre-diabetes.

We eat at least 3-4 times a day or 21-28 times a week. Eating is an activity we have been engaging in since we were born. We used to know when we were hungry and when we were full. When this energy giving and life sustaining act becomes a source of confusion, guilt and fear, when eating becomes disordered and turns into a dangerous coping mechanism, it is time to evaluate what we are doing and explore how we can normalize our behavior so our minds and body can function in a healthy way to support our goals.

I help people get reconnected with their body and mind by addressing the root cause of their health issues. I work with many chronic dieters, gut issues (bloating, diarrhea, constipation), low energy, and/or stress/emotional eating. These symptoms are often connected to high stress, anxiety and depression, which impact appetite and eating habits. Work with me if you want more energy, digestive relief and more freedom and confidence making food choices so you can live a vibrant life.

I help my clients reverse their diabetes naturally and figure out their ROOT cause for their bloating, gas, or constipation!

Hello, my name is Alyssa Torres, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and owner of Pain Fighting Nutrition. I am passionate about helping those who suffer from chronic pain to become pain fighting warriors and feel the best they can.

Our bodies are our first homes. And yet, the struggle to belong in our skin and bones is widespread. From an early age, we are taught to mistrust our bodies; tune out its sensations and longings. We exile the parts of us that society deems unsavory to the point where the pain, grief, and loneliness of not belonging feel like our only option. You are here because you know you deserve to belong in your body. I am here to witness your journey toward building a loving and embodied relationship with yourself and the world around you.

I work with a wide range of clients and issues, but my primary niche is in mental health nutrition. I love to work with clients facing the challenges of recovering from alcohol use disorder who want to use nutrition to heal their body and mind. I also focus on nutritional approaches to ADHD, depression, and anxiety.

My clients tend to be confronted with health challenges arising from systemic inflammation and Metabolic Syndrome associated with weight management issues. A typical client has tried virtually every kind of fad diet and is still unable to decrease their bodyfat. I am usually their 'last stop' on their journey to weight loss and optimized health. They expect me to bring them results that conventional specialists have failed to help them accomplish.

I'm passionate about nutrition education and helping clients create long term healthy habits through a personalized approach. As an individual we often wear many hats throughout the day. We are often a mother, father, cook, artist, handyman, banker, runner and so much more. By focusing on the common meals you share as a family and your lifestyle needs I will work with you to simplify your meal prep and diversify your diet. I will ensure your nutrition goals are met in timely, yet sustainable manner. As we start our journey together we will set an intention for a healthier and happier you!

My ideal client has specific goals in mind, whether they are weight loss, muscle gain, improved athletic performance, and/or managing their health conditions with nutrition. My ideal client is looking for a nutrition program that complements their life and can be integrated in a practical fashion. My ideal client is ready for a lifestyle change and committed to achieving their goals, but does not want to sacrifice their relationship with food, family, or fun in the process.

Have you been diagnosed with (pre)-diabetes? Can't lose weight? Are you struggling with digestive issues, low libido, male function problems, cholesterol, hypertension, lipedema, or cognitive function? Or do you just want to optimize your health but need help knowing where to start? I strive to identify the root cause of my patient's health concerns and develop data-centric, evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle recommendations that address their individual needs, not just fix the symptoms. I can help you reach your health goals with a Personalized and Sustainable plan that fits your goals and concerns.

I work with women miserable from pain, bloat and fatigue who want to get up in the morning feeling energized, have a flat stomach, and know what she eats will not have her looking for the nearest bathroom. Do you suffer from diarrhea/constipation, IBS, brain fog, chronic fatigue, depression/anxiety and/or autoimmune disease and has your doctor told you you just have 'live with it’ because all tests came back normal? The good news? You can banish bloat, clear brain fog, feel energized and reduce pain. How? By testing for food sensitivities and/or finding out if your GI tract is out of balance.

Let's cultivate healthy habits that will last a lifetime. I teach you how to nourish yourself and your family with food that powers your busy life without restriction. Working one on one with a Nutritionist offers accountability to make long-term changes to the way you eat. My approach is grounded in scientific evidence that ushers good health for a lifetime, with a non-diet lens. Non-diet means that all foods fit. You'll never hear me ask you to restrict your favorite foods. I'm a weight-neutral practitioner and believe there is much more to overall health and well-being than a number on a scale.
