About
I'm Teresa
I've spent most of my life paying close attention to what people eat not to judge it, but to understand it.
Food and culture are inseparable. The way people shop, the ingredients they trust, what they consider a normal meal these things tell you everything about a place. When you move somewhere new, you lose that familiarity. And the last thing you need is someone telling you that everything you've been eating is wrong.
That's not what I do here.
What I believe
There is a lot of noise in nutrition right now. Ingredients being demonised. Products being labelled dangerous. People leaving the supermarket more anxious than when they walked in and no better informed.
I don't think fear is useful. And I don't think it's honest.
Marketing has spent decades shaping what people believe is healthy. Front-of-pack claims, buzzwords, and carefully designed packaging convince people they're buying one thing when they're buying something else entirely. That frustrates me. Consumers deserve better than that.
What I believe is simple: knowledge is more powerful than fear. If you understand what you're looking at on a label, in an ingredient list, on a supermarket shelf you don't need anyone to tell you what to buy. You can decide for yourself. That's what I want for everyone I work with: the confidence to make an informed choice without second-guessing themselves every time they pick up a product.
I also believe that variety matters more than perfection, and that eating well doesn't require a large budget. Good nutrition is not a luxury. The principles that make a diet balanced and sustainable are available to everyone and I'll never recommend an approach that doesn't reflect that.
Understanding food should leave you feeling empowered, not overwhelmed.
My background
I hold a degree in Human Nutrition and Dietetics from Spain. Living and shopping in different countries has shown me how quickly familiar food choices can become confusing when labels, products, and food culture change.
One thing I want to be clear about: I am not a US-licensed dietitian. The Wellness Fork offers nutrition education and practical guidance, not clinical treatment. If your situation requires clinical support, I'll tell you honestly and point you toward the right professional. What I offer is the practical knowledge to understand the US food system, read labels with confidence, and make choices that actually reflect what you want to eat not what the packaging suggests you're buying.
Who I work with
I work with people who want to feel more confident about the food they buy and eat.
That includes people who've recently moved to the US and feel lost at the supermarket, people who've been here for years and still find food labels confusing, busy professionals who don't have hours to research every product, families looking for practical guidance, and anyone who wants clear information without fear-based messaging.
Sessions are available in English and Spanish.
What working with me looks like
No rigid rules. No foods labelled as off-limits. No pressure to spend more than your budget allows.
What you will get is the knowledge to shop with confidence so that when you put something in your basket, you know exactly what you're buying. Not what the front of the packet says you're buying. What's actually inside.
The goal is simple: by the time we're done, you shouldn't need me anymore. You should be able to walk into any supermarket and make your own informed decisions. That's what I consider a successful outcome.
If any of this sounds like what you've been looking for
The free discovery call is 20 minutes. No commitment, no pitch. You tell me where you are and what's feeling difficult. I'll tell you honestly whether I think I can help and if I can't, I'll say that too.
