Bernadette Mejia

About Bernadette

Food and science have guided a career that spans hospitals, private practice, corporate wellness, community health and academia. I bring 15 years of experience as a Registered Dietitian and earned an MS from CSULB, a PhD from Walden University, completed my dietetic internship at the University of Delaware and hold a BS from SDSU. Based in Los Angeles, I love walking to the beach and spending time with family and friends, and I bring that same curiosity and warmth to our conversations.

Approach to care

Evidence and empathy shape how I work with people. I use current research to create practical, individualized plans while keeping the tone judgment-free and supportive. Working from a Health at Every Size, weight-neutral perspective, we'll focus on sustainable habits and behavior change rather than quick fixes. I prioritize educating you about what your labs and symptoms mean, offering clear action steps, and supporting the whole person, mental and physical, as we build lasting change together.

Your first session with Bernadette

Expect a calm, collaborative visit where we'll review any lab work and biometrics together and talk through your routines, strengths and frustrations. I'll help interpret results so they make sense to you, and we'll set a couple of short-term, doable goals that fit your life. Together we'll co-create a meal plan tailored to your tastes and schedule. You don't need to have it all figured out, we'll take it step by step and leave with clear, practical next steps.
