About me
Hi there! I’m Sydney Vargas, a dietitian based in Oakland, CA, with years of experience across various clinical settings and a deep understanding of nutrition and its critical role in health.
My career has taken me to the front lines of patient care, working in intensive care units (ICU, NICU, PICU), oncology departments, head and neck clinics, and stroke units. I’ve also provided specialized care in both residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient settings for eating disorder treatment.
In these roles, I’ve honed my skills in medical nutrition therapy, helping patients navigate complex health challenges with personalized, evidence-based interventions. Whether it’s advancing feeding plans, starting or adjusting tube feeds and parenteral nutrition, prescribing specific diet orders, creating meal plans, or recommending nutrition supplements to optimize nutritional intake and support healing, meet energy needs, and promote appropriate growth or restoration, my approach is always centered around the individualized needs of each client.
When you choose to work with me, you’re not just getting a dietitian—you’re gaining a partner who is committed to helping you set and achieve your nutritional goals.
