Hello! I am Manu, I am a Nutritionist and Health Coach specialized in Functional, Preventive and Integrative Nutrition
As a nutritionist, my goal is to be a guide and a mentor who will help you obtain the knowledge and tools you need to make better decisions about your health and nutrition.
We will work toguether on the journey of discovering and creating your own diet. We will explore your unique nutritional and metabolic needs so that you can reconnect with your body consciously and intuitively.
​
As your health coach, I will support you, motivate you, and hold you accountable as you make positive changes to your lifestyle. Together, we will assess the underlying causes that may be affecting your health and seek effective and sustainable solutions in the short, medium, and long term.
​
Do you suffer from excess weight, inflammation, low energy, or skin problems? These symptoms can be caused by an imbalance in nutrition and/or health conditions such as chronic stress, digestive, metabolic, or hormonal disorders.
I will help you integrate positive changes easily and gradually. Changes that will allow you to heal, restore and optimize your body in a complete and comprehensive way.
Professional Background
I have always been curious about living organisms, nature, and the biological systems that keep them alive. This curiosity led me to study Biology at Simón Bolívar University in Caracas, Venezuela.
After completing my Biology studies, I pursued a Master's degree in Biology Applied to the Sciences of Nutrition at l'Università degli Studi di Milano in Italy. My research in this master’s program focused on the science of food, its nutrients and bioactive substances, as well as the physiological, chemical, and metabolic processes involved in human nutrition. All this with a particular interest in the Mediterranean Diet.
However, after several years of experience as a nutritionist, I felt that my scientific training was not enough to help my clients in a more comprehensive way. I wanted to be able to address all the factors that could affect their health, not just their diet. With this goal in mind, I became certified as a Health Coach by the Institute for Integrative Nutrition of New York (IIN). This gave me the opportunity to rediscover nutrition from a more holistic and conscious perspective, in which I take into account not only the scientific foundations of nutrition, but also all the other areas of my clients' lives that could affect their overall health.
​
Thanks to my knowledge and experience, I can offer unique, bio individualized, intuitive, and holistic advice that is tailored to my clients' individual needs and goals. I use a variety of tools and techniques to help my clients achieve their desired results, including nutrition counseling, lifestyle coaching, and mind-body interventions.
