Nutritionists and Dietitians near Ventura, CA

Silvina Cox, MPH, RD supports and guides clients towards a healthy and balanced relationship with food and their bodies. We address and resolve weight and health concerns together. My approach is highly personalized, based on sound—no hype— nutrition/health sciences to meet your individual or family's needs and goals. My work is grounded in non-diet, Intuitive and mindful eating principles, and is weight inclusive. Areas of expertise include family feeding; adolescent and adult weight concerns; disordered eating, ED's; Type2 & pre diabetes; PCOS; gastrointestinal health; integrative nutrition and wellness.

My approach is centered on finding balance and nourishing the body in a way that is sustainable, rather than promoting restriction. I consider the emotional, cultural, and spiritual importance of food in people's lives when offering guidance. Good health looks different for everyone, so rather than striving for an unattainable standard, let's work together to challenge distorted beliefs about food and establish healthy habits that support overall well-being.

I provide personal and individual nutrition education and counseling on a variety of health and nutrition issues. My approach is simple, yet effective. I work with the individual to assist in empowering them to make healthier eating habits and lifestyle changes. It definitely is not easy to take charge of your health on your own, but can be done when you have the right skills, information, and motivation. My goal in working with people is for them to eat healthier, feel better and to embrace eating as an enjoyable experience.

My name is Tanja Samalya, and I am a certified Master Nutrition Therapist, a practitioner specializing in holistic nutrition principles. I recognize that one's picture of health is colored by various individual experiences of life: physical, biochemical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and environmental. I use clinical education to make science-based recommendations and health coaching skills that promote desired behavior modifications for my clients while honoring a holistic perspective and bio-individuality. I can help you transition to become "plant-forward" or to improve your current plant-based lifestyle.

90% of health conditions and diseases can be prevented by proper nutrition and lifestyle modifications. Not only does management and prevention of chronic health conditions improve the quality and satisfaction of living, but it also adds years and saves money later in life. The sooner you take the steps to a healthier life, the sooner you’ll feel better, happier, more energized, and more confident about your appearance. I’m here to help you set the foundation for a more fulfilling life you can enjoy with family and friends in years to come!
