Testimonials

When I first met Dr. Orozco, I was a mess. I was depressed and my self-esteem was extremely low. I didn’t trust anyone and preferred to be alone. Even though I had a lot of troubling things going on in my life, I was focused on losing weight, but it was not working and that made things even worse. I really wanted to lose weight and that kept my focus off everything else that was going on in my life. I needed help.

This is when God sends me Dr. Orozco. He practically saved my life. I believe I was on the verge of giving up. He took the time before he started considering my nutrition to understand where I was emotionally and mentally. He helped me get a plan together to get back on stable grounds. Before every nutrient session starts, he checks to see how I am feeling and what has changed since the last contact.

It is because of him that I have lost over 60 pounds, and I no longer take insulin! I now have a desire to eat vegetables that before I would not have eaten, even if you tried to bribe me to do it. I now eat yogurt. You may say, “Oh, that’s standard stuff.” For you, maybe. For me, a foreign language, a major accomplishment.

He also got me to exercise. On those occasions, when I would be too stressed to be advised on nutrients, we would walk and talk. I would feel so much better by the time we returned. He taught me how to put things into perspective, organize my thoughts, and make a priority list. Dr. Orozco is very patient. He has a positive outlook no matter what I “throw” at him. He doesn’t give up on me no matter what happens. He is a very good listener. He actually hears what I say (that can be good and bad because he remembers what I said). He always has suggestions. He has a way of getting me to commit to the betterment of my health. He also follows up on the previous appointments and the decisions made at those appointments. The most important thing that I have learned from Dr. O is that I am important. I learned to love myself. That was a hard point to learn. From a doctor’s perspective, he cares about me too.

He has love in his heart for what he does and wants to help people by helping them make their lives better. He is very knowledgeable in his field. He recommends books, other colleagues, food services, and any other resources at his disposal.

My best way of telling you who Dr. O is, is by saying that he is God’s gift to patients and the health industry.

David Orozco has been my nutritionist for over a year now and I've learned so much about nutrition and diet from him. I have seen other nutritionists in the past, but never before have gotten as much clear and relevant information, especially about diabetes management and the science behind it. He also takes a very holistic and Intuitive Eating approach to food and nutrition, in a friendly and supportive manner and is always willing to answer any questions I might have. I can definitely recommend him as a nutritionist!

-Ellie Berger

David goes beyond his extensive knowledge of diets and nutritional science to craft a personalized approach that includes the all-important aspects of food psychology and the mind-body connection involving weight concerns and health. He is compassionate, accepting, and a great listener.

If you have worked with Orozco Nutrition and had a great experience, we encourage you to spread the word to others that may be able to benefit from us just as much as you did!

Working with David has been a breath of fresh air. Prior to receiving his services, I spent my entire young adulthood worrying about my weight, restricting what I ate, and thinking about food 24/7. Since working with David, I no longer obsess over food, I embrace my cultural traditions, and I’ve begun to love the body I live in.

-Beatriz Reyes

If my food relationship was a Facebook status, I’d say, “It’s complicated.” My first visits with David Orozco at Orozco Nutrition were filled with facts and new knowledge. As my Sherpa, David began untangling the web of food related issues that were lying below the surface—kept there by my survival mode. Through gentle probing questions, David unlocked my curiosity to discover the why of my behaviors and thoughts. I discovered that my inner voice was interpreting incoming messages in a negative way and blocking my own progress. (In the caring environment of Orozco Nutrition, there are thoughtfully placed tissue boxes within arm’s reach for a very good reason!) In tandem with new curiosity, David suggests practical exercises and ways to initiate new interactions with food. While the food relationship journey is lifelong, I strongly recommend beginning with the team at Orozco Nutrition and the podcast, “One Small Bite.” You will be surprised at your own discovery and your move toward self-compassion!

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with David. When I decided to enlist the assistance of a dietitian to better my health, I thought I would be told what to eat and why what I've been doing was so wrong. Instead, David taught me the psychology of food, and never made me feel bad about my previous choices. He taught me to be kinder to myself in more ways than just my eating habits. And it worked! I've become much healthier and happier working with David. I would recommend his services to anyone.

-Aarti

I enjoy working with David because he understands the importance of incorporating psychology and food. I appreciate how he takes time to listen to you and how he understands how the day-to-day aspects of life can have an effect on your nutritional health. Working with him every month has affected me in a positive way and I can truly say, I feel like it has changed my life for the better. I would recommend him to work with anyone who's having nutritional challenges.

-Robin Bingham, DDS

I would highly recommend David to anyone and everyone, and often do! He makes eating and nutrition real and easy to understand. Especially for those of us that have a "problem area" when it comes to food and our eating habits. After two years together, I am finally starting to love myself and where I am. David is not only my wellness coach, but a true friend. If you want a personalized plan that isn't one of those crazy fad diets, do yourself a favor and book your first appointment!
