My Story

I am a medical doctor from Argentina who, after years of practicing traditional medicine and providing temporary solutions to my patients’ problems, experienced a transformative shift in how I viewed health and healing. I chose to move away from treating symptoms and began focusing on preventive medicine—helping people address the root causes of illness before they become chronic conditions.

​

My journey deepened when I enrolled in a Master’s program in Nutrition at Columbia University. During that time, I transitioned to a vegetarian lifestyle, and while my health initially flourished, I soon fell into old patterns—indulging in rich cheeses and processed foods influenced by my French upbringing. The result was a cascade of health challenges: skin allergies, food sensitivities, hormonal imbalances, bloating, fatigue, depression, and significant weight gain.

​

Searching for real solutions, I immersed myself in research and discovered the powerful science behind Whole Food Plant-Based Nutrition. As a physician, I was struck by how little emphasis this life-changing information received in medical training. Determined to bridge that gap, I became certified in Plant-Based Nutrition and trained as a Health Coach.

​

Through my studies and personal transformation, I fully embraced a plant-based lifestyle. I also realized that while many people want to make healthier choices, they need guidance, accountability, and practical skills to succeed. Teaching clients not just what to eat, but also how to shop, cook, and enjoy delicious plant-based meals became a cornerstone of my approach.

​

This passion led me to establish CB Health & Wellness Center, an online telehealth practice designed to make support accessible to patients everywhere. Today, I combine my medical background with holistic lifestyle coaching to help people achieve sustainable results through:

​

  • Plant-Based Nutrition & Lifestyle Coaching

  • Interactive Cooking Classes

  • Telehealth Consultations for accessible, personalized care

​

My mission goes beyond individual clients—I aim to partner with physicians who want to improve patient outcomes by offering the lifestyle support that is difficult to provide in a traditional office visit.

 

Together, we can empower patients to make lasting changes in nutrition, weight, stress, and overall health—closing the gap between medical treatment and daily life.

​

At CB Health & Wellness, we’re not just treating symptoms—we’re helping people reset, rebuild, and reclaim their health for life.
