Alejandro is a Health Coach certified by the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) and a Diabetes Educator certified by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF). After being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in January 2021—and navigating his daughter’s diagnosis a year and a half later—he transformed his family’s journey into a mission to support others living with diabetes. Since becoming a health coach in 2023, Alejandro has worked with individuals living with both diabetes and prediabetes, bringing a unique blend of personal insight and professional training to his coaching.
Alejandro’s approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and a strong belief in the client’s autonomy. He creates a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard and empowered to explore change at their own pace. He meets clients where they are, helping them make small, sustainable shifts in key pillars of diabetes management like exercise, mindset, sleep, hydration, and nutrition. Clients who are looking for structure, encouragement, and a nonjudgmental partner often find a strong connection with Alejandro’s coaching style.
Fluent in both English and Spanish, Alejandro enjoys working with people from diverse backgrounds. Outside of coaching, he’s an avid (and newly passionate) reader, a proud plant parent with over 70 houseplants, and a playful dad who loves spending time with his wife and kids—staying young at heart thanks to them every day.
