Get to Know Alfonso
Alfonso is a recent dietetics graduate of Nutrition Ink in Banning, CA, currently practicing as he prepares for his licensing exam. He completed his internship at Gojji as well as at a skilled nursing facility, where he worked with patients facing a wide range of medical conditions — experience that gave him an early, practical view of how chronic disease shows up differently in every patient he sees.
Alfonso has seen firsthand how chronic disease reaches beyond the patient to the whole family. Much of his own family has dealt with diabetes, hypertension, or chronic kidney disease, and he grew up watching them struggle to administer insulin and manage their conditions day to day. That experience is why he was drawn to nutrition and dietetics — a field built on a holistic approach that meets patients where they are and works with them toward sustainable, livable change.
Alfonso is a self-described foodie who loves cooking new dishes for his wife and sons — pulling recipes from different restaurants, cultures, and family and friends. One of his favorite feelings: making a new dish that his (very picky) wife loves enough to ask for again.
Training & Credentials
Your Care with Alfonso
Alfonso knows that a new chronic disease diagnosis can feel overwhelming, with more information thrown at patients than anyone can absorb at once. Your first session is about slowing that down — understanding your lifestyle, your barriers, and what actually matters to you.
From there, you'll build a tailored plan together, one that addresses your real-life circumstances rather than a generic list of rules.
A Gojji dietitian can provide medical nutrition therapy based on evidence-based practice — taking into account more than just nutrition. Alfonso creates a tailored approach for each patient that addresses lifestyle factors, barriers, and the overwhelming amount of nutrition information out there.
Alfonso measures success by whether a patient realizes that small changes make a big impact. Being diagnosed with a chronic disease can feel like everything needs to change at once — but it doesn't. Patients don't have to give up their favorite foods or overhaul their lives on day one. Small changes accumulate, leading to noticeable improvements in how patients feel, physically and mentally, and to a growing belief that they're capable of changing their health.
