Hello + Welcome!

Hello + Welcome!

My name is Aaron Flores and I am a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) and podcast host in Calabasas, CA. I specialize in Intuitive Eating, Health at Every Size® and helping clients reclaim Body Trust®. I’m also a husband, father of twins and a huge Star Wars fan. My goal is to help you leave behind the world of diets and body shame and instead develop a relationship with food and your body driven by curiosity, self-compassion and empathy. To do this work is a rebellion against diet culture and a weight obsessed world. There’s a line from a Star Wars movie that says, “Rebellions are built on hope.” I hold onto hope that this will free you from the pain and suffering that you’ve lived with far too long. Join the rebellion, and let’s start working together today. 

This work is for you if you:

  • feel like you've tried every diet in the world and none of them have ever worked

  • are ready to stop feeling like you are at war with your body and with food

  • have so many food rules swimming inside your head that you don’t even know what to eat or what foods sound good anymore

  • are ready to be free from the anxiety and fear you have around food

  • struggle with eating disorders, disordered eating or chronic dieting

  • are ready to be at home in your body

  • are ready to try something new

What Past Clients Have Said:

Testimonials

“The very best part about working with Aaron- besides his sense of humor – is the fact that NO MATTER WHAT, he offered no judgment or any rules. Ever. It took me probably a year to trust him and trust that he wouldn’t suddenly slip in some rules/regulations/”healthful suggestions” of any kind. My biggest challenge in recovery was dealing with my diet rebel who absolutely will not accept limitations of any kind without freaking out. And you can bet I tried so very hard to get him to give me any rule to rebel against…but he never did. The man is like Yoda when it comes to dealing with opposition; he just gently flows with it and he never gave me anything to resist. In the end, I couldn’t resist that, even my diet rebel had to admit that Aaron was less controlling and more trustworthy than I am when it comes to food and body trust, and I was able to place my trust in him and let him help me.”

“If you are thinking about working with Aaron, do it, you will never regret it! If you listen to the podcast, you already know he’s smart and hilarious, and very compassionate. (And if you don’t listen, do!) He’s the same one-on-one but even better because he’s applying all that wisdom and humor and knowledge directly to what you’re struggling with and it’s incredible.”

“This fucker is the one you want in your corner. No matter where you are in your relationship with food and your body, Aaron will meet you there with curiosity and compassion. Never judgmental or demanding of perfection, he is a knowledgeable professional who heals through connection, humor, and empathy.”

"It would not be hyperbolic to say that my work with Aaron has been some of the most consequential and life-changing work that I have ever done. His approach, mindset, expertise, and advocacy are exactly what I was looking for in my health and body journey and I could not be more grateful for finding him and for his continued partnership, support, and guidance. He has really changed the way I view myself, my health, my body, and my perception of diets and diet culture. His demeanor and manner is everything you want out of a professional practitioner - warm, comforting, compassionate, and honest. He really wants to help, and it shows, and it has made all the difference for me, my life, and my health. I could not recommend him enough.”

“I came to this work believing that my relationship to food and to my body would always be fraught. But Aaron’s empathy, keen insight, and genuine passion for liberation has inspired me. With his support, I’ve been able to reclaim my life from years of food fear and body shame. Aaron’s gifts as a dietitian and body trust provider have made a lasting impact on me — particularly as a fat, transgender client. He is a constant source of hope, humor, wisdom, and compassion. I walk away from every session feeling seen as my whole self, and with even more conviction that I am enough, just as I am.”
