Nutrition Tips & Recipes for Strength, Confidence and Balance!

Hey there! I'm Patricia — also known as Patito (yes it means duck in Spanish, but more on that later!). I’m a Registered Dietitian, athlete, and someone who once stood exactly where you might be right now.

Before I learned how to fuel my body & before the degrees, certifications and credentials, I was a woman who wanted to feel comfortable in her own skin & get into a healthier body.

I lost 110 pounds naturally. I don't say this to receive praise, it’s about letting you know that I’ve been exactly where you are.

Have you ever had someone tell you “just eat less” like it's the secret code to weight loss? Or maybe a healthcare provider said “you need to lose weight,” then walked out of the room like that sentence alone was the treatment plan?

Or what about coaches who say “here’s what you need to do” when they’ve never had to navigate a real weight-loss journey… or a busy work schedule… or, you know, life?

You're human, not a robot. You don’t need guilt or oversimplified advice, you deserve real support, real strategies, and someone who actually gets it.

I understand the challenges firsthand. And that’s why I’m here, not just as a dietitian, but as someone who’s walked this path and will walk it with you.

I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by health advice. To restart again and again. To want results, but also peace & food freedom

And I’m here to tell you: You Deserve Both!

Why This Newsletter Exists

This space is for busy, driven people who want to:

✅ Get easily digestible nutrition tips

✅ fuel their bodies, not fight them

✅ gain strength, energy, and confidence

✅ find structure that fits your life

✅ build a foundation that lasts years, not weeks...

...Not perfection. Not all-or-nothing. Not shame disguised as “motivation.”

Just real, evidence-based guidance and the belief that your goals matter.

My goal isn't to overwhelm you with rules. It’s to help you build a life where healthy decisions feel natural and powerful and integrated into your life.

If the first half of this newsletter didn't make you feel like you can run through a brick wall, here is a video to give you motivation.

“You are worthy of feeling strong, capable, and taking control of your health.”

The unhealthy you no longer exists. You are a person who is healthy, strong, and eats to nourish their body, not harm it

Every small choice builds momentum. Every effort counts. And you don’t need to do it perfectly, you just need to stay in motion because every incremental change COMPOUNDS OVER TIME!
