Who are we?
Hi, I’m Andrew Ossa, a Hispanic Bilingual Registered Dietitian, private practice owner, and personal trainer with over a decade of clinical and coaching experience. My career has taken me from hospitals and healthcare settings to one-on-one nutrition counseling and fitness training, all with a singular focus: helping people achieve their health and fitness goals through evidence-based strategies and personalized care.
My journey in medical nutrition began with an extensive education foundation. I graduated from Cal State Long Beach and soon after completed my Dietetic Internship with 1 year of supervised practice, gaining hands-on experience in diverse areas such as performance nutrition at UCLA, post-acute care at West Residential Care, and acute-care nutrition support at St. Mary’s Medical Center to name a few. These experiences equipped me to handle a variety of nutrition needs and gain a strong medical nutrition foundation, from managing chronic conditions like diabetes to optimizing nutrition for high-performing athletes.
In my professional career, I’ve worked as a Renal Dietitian Specialist III at DaVita Kidney Care, where I’ve managed complex cases involving bone health, labs, and patient counseling. My time in clinical settings has sharpened my skills in medical nutrition therapy and patient education.
I’ve also developed a strong foundation in sports nutrition and weight management, combining my expertise as a dietitian with my decade-long passion for fitness and bodybuilding. My approach to coaching is holistic yet straightforward: I prioritize simplicity, sustainability, and evidence-based practices. I firmly believe in empowering my clients to feel confident and capable of making health-conscious decisions that align with their lifestyle. Whether we’re optimizing performance, managing a medical condition, or focusing on body composition goals, I work collaboratively with my clients to create strategies that truly fit their needs.
Outside of work, I enjoy bodybuilding, home remodeling, and nurturing our garden of fruit and vegetable trees. Rooted in my Mex-Colombian heritage, I have an affinity for rich coffee and cozy coffee shops where I can escape in a good science fiction novel.
Let’s build a healthier, stronger, and more confident you together! Look forward to connecting!
-Coach Andrew
