I went to see Andrea at FIT to talk to her about my 1/2 marathon training and how to lose a little weight before my wedding. Andrea helped me get on track with my eating, training habits, and work out regimen. Andrea was knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful. I ended up having many problems with FIT but Andrea was ALWAYS THERE to answer my e-mails and always available at the gym. I think that if it had not been for Andrea I would have quit my membership with FIT. If you need any information about food, working out, etc...Andrea is your girl! She is fantastic and if you do what she says, you will see results!

I've decided to a few months ago I needed to change the way I eat if I were going to get back into shape. So I asked Andrea to help me understand food and what I need to eat day to day to reach my goal. She didn't give me some crazy diet, but introduced foods I haven't been eating. I'm not going to say that it's easy for me to make all my food at home is easier than eating out, but it's a hell of a lot healthier. I feel better knowing what's in my food, and once I get to my goal, I'm still going to eat this way. Thanks Andrea! I couldn't have done it without you!!

I know Andrea as a positive and energetic person through her dedication to health in the Pilates world. I really see her light up with passion and confidence when she shares her expertise as a dietitian. She has a realistic and optimistic view when is comes to health not only in terms of nutrition via food intake, but also mental and physical wellness as a part of total body health. I trust her genuine interest in me and others to connect on a human and professional level with a shared goal of health and happiness.
Emily B. San Diego, CA February 5, 2017
I've known Andrea for 4 years now and I am constantly an awe of her dedication, positivity and commitment. She is a client of mine at the Pilates studio I own, and I recommend her to all of my clients because I trust her expertise and integrity. Andrea is a highly educated dietician who lives and breathes her work. She cares so much about her clients and works hard to motivate them and inspire them to reach their goals. Andrea not only gives nutrition advice and meal plans, she helps design a lifestyle that brings clients to their optimum health. Andrea lights up every room she walks into as well as all of our lives!
Jennie G. San Diego, CA February 5, 2017
Andrea is incredible. She is passionate about what she does and it shows. This woman talks the talk and walks the walk. She has amazing energy, she's knowledgeable, well informed, and well educated. I went to her to get some help with losing my baby weight. Not only have I lost the weight, but I feel great! Andrea truly helps educate you so you can live a happier, healthier, and active life while meeting all of your nutritional needs. Knowledge is power folks!
McKenzie A. Carlsbad, CA February 5, 2017
Andrea is amazing. I initially went in for an assessment about 8 months ago just to see what it was all about and maybe get a few tips and tricks. I've been seeing her monthly now and she is amazing. She is so energetic and positive, encouraging and realistic! I'm Down in pounds (15 to be exact) but more importantly, down in body fat, and have completely overhauled my health with better numbers in cholesterol, triglycerides, and other nutrients. I've learned how to exercise more efficiently and changed my lifestyle. At the same time, she is realistic, knowing as a single girl, I'm going to go out to eat, and going to have some cocktails, and we work that into my diet, so I still see results. I definitely recommend her to anyone and I know a few of my friends that are already contacting her!
Nicole L. La Mesa, CA February 5, 2017
Andrea is not only an amazing dietician, nutritionist, and trainer, but also a fantastic person who is full of positive energy. She goes well above and beyond the call of duty with her clients to help them live healthy and balanced lives. Her assessments and recommendations are all highly tailored to fit your specific needs. I have been attending training sessions and seeking Andrea's nutritional guidance for the past 4 months and the results have been amazing. She has helped me build lean muscle, get faster and increase my energy levels through diet and exercise. I whole-heartedly recommend Andrea's services to all who want to live a healthier and better life!
David J. San Diego, CA February 5, 2017
Andrea is amazing!! I reached out to her to hire her for her nutritional services in guiding me for weight loss. I am a runner and needed to lose weight. She spends time with you and works with you and the lifestyle you have. She also teaches you so you learn what to do to maintain and be successful with your goals. I would be lost without her. Thank you for your guidance and support Andrea!!! Love H20 Nutrition!!
Jennifer O. Chicago, IL February 5, 2017
Andrea is amazing! I was referred to her about 3 months ago by a good friend. She knows nutrition inside and out and teaches you how to apply good eating habits and exercise to YOUR body and lifestyle. I travel a lot for work and that creates a lot of challenges for me. She understands that and works with me to obtain my goals. I consider myself fairly knowledgeable about nutrition and I am learning so much from her! I love her energy, personality, knowledge, motivation and sincerity. Highly recommend her if you're serious about your goals and want the BEST to guide you.
Amy J. San Diego, CA February 5, 2017
Andrea is awesome! Her drive and passion for nutrition and athleticism is really translated into her work with clients. It is a pleasure being a client of Andrea and learning how nutrition is one of the biggest key to seeing results. I have been seeing Andrea since 2012 and been through some life milestones such as preparing for a wedding. She got me where I wanted to be on my big day plus I was learning about nutrition!
I also appreciate Andrea's workout ideas plus but learning how to eat food to support healthy weight loss and maintenance. By working with Andrea I have been able to maintain a healthy lifestyle as well as be a wise eater.
Mari M. San Diego, CA February 5, 2017
Andrea is an amazing sports nutritionist. I've been active all my life, but never really happy with my eating habits during training. Andrea has helped me see food as fuel and is extremely knowledgeable about not only what works for me, but WHY it works. I've treated our sessions as a class on my body and it's unique needs. In three months I've dropped over 2% body fat and, more importantly, have learned so much.
Andrea does an exceptional job of laying out her suggestions and explaining why she knows they will work. Between each of our sessions (about three weeks apart) she sets 3-5 manageable goals for me to work on. Then we follow up the next session and build on my knowledge base. In between sessions, Andrea is great at returning emails or texts and has even met me to refill my vitamins.
I'm almost halfway through my first set of sessions and I cannot wait to see Andrea for number five next week!
Karen O. Encinitas, CA February 5, 2017
Andrea is wonderful. She has such a great energy, and outlook on life. Super knowledgable and whip smart. The years had started to catch up to me, and I was the heaviest I had ever been. You know what it's like when you've fallen that low. no energy. low motivation, but her positivity was infectious and it helped me break out of my routine. She designed a lifestyle plan for me that was realistic and livable, and that I could stick to.
This is a positive review, so expect to hear about how much weight I lost (which I did. quite a bit) or in how much better my health became (also amazing. triglycerides from 450 down to 200, blood pressure down. I'm now no longer pre-diabetic), but truth be told, all the information she gives me is freely available from multiple sources, but I've used them all before (Fat Secret, Read everything on Live Strong, etc.) and be honest, you have too.
There is something about the way Andrea coaches you that makes success achievable. Maybe it's just coaching in general that is the key to victory, I don't know, but I am certain that Andrea will do everything in her power to make you healthy, energized and feel great about yourself.
Marcus A. Chino Hills, CA February 5, 2017
I recently had the pleasure of working with Andrea over the past few months, regarding my elevated cholesterol levels. I contacted her because I am 30 years old and did not want to take the prescribed statin medications my doctor had ordered. She gave me an abundance of information and worked with me to get me started on a healthy plan to lower my cholesterol and avoid taking medication. I am happy to say that my recent blood work shows a significant reduction in my cholesterol!!! My doctor is pleased with my progress and does not advise any medication intervention at this time! This progress would never had been possible without Andrea! She is professional, easy to talk to, and responds to emails and phone calls promptly. There is no one else I would trust with my nutritional needs! And you shouldn't either!
Heather L. Fair Lawn, NJ February 5, 2017
She singlehandedly made it so Spanx will not be necessary under my wedding dress. There's no higher endorsement I could write than that! I wish I had known of her services back when I was struggling to diet on my own; since I've worked with her, I am not constantly worried that I'm dieting incorrectly, causing long-term metabolic damage or setting myself up for vitamin deficiency.
Speaking as someone in healthcare, I don't think that many people are aware that dietitians have much more rigorous and lengthy training than nutritionists, and that dietitian internships are fiercely competitive. She is a dietitian (and a Harvard-trained one at that.) I have yet to ask her a question for which she does not have a comprehensive and evidence-based answer. I intend to continue working with her after the wedding so that I can shift my focus to sports nutrition.
Go C. San Diego, CA February 5, 2017
I have had the pleasure of working with Andrea at H2O now for about a year now and I have to say I am amazed with my results.
I was recently diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic because of my Indian heritage and contacted Andrea seeking help.
When I was first diagnosed I had a A1C blood level of 15 which is positive for Diabetes. one year later, thanks largely to Andrea's help my A1C level was down to a 6.
Andrea has helped my with my nutrition and exercise program which has become my medication. I have also dropped 30 pounds mainly from my waist and now have more energy than ever.
I would recommend Andrea to anyone and everyone who is serious about taking control of their lives via a healthy lifestyle.
You're worth it.Joe B. San Diego, CA February 5, 2017
If you need advice on eating habits and meal plans, Andrea is the person you need to see. In addition to knowing exactly what she is talking about, she's also fun, friendly, comforting, and really seems to care about helping you achieve your goals. You tell her your specifically goals and she will write you a fantastic diet tailored specifically to meet those goals, and it WILL help you achieve these goals. I saw Andrea last year with the goal of shredding fat and toning up so my abs will show. After a only a couple weeks they started to show, and after a couple months oh boy did they show!! When I started slacking on my diet, I lost my progress. I recently went back to Andrea to get back on track, I started her new diet only a week and a half ago and I already see great progress. You will not regret working with Andrea. She will help you achieve your diet and fitness goals, no question!!! Look forward to many more meetings.
Tyler H. Alpine, CA February 5, 2017
I've been working with Andrea from H2O Nutrition for a few months now and I am so excited to have her in my corner with me! From the very first appointment, she was just as excited as I was to help me achieve my goals...if you like having your own personal cheerleader, you'll get that with her! She is wonderful at responding when you reach out and NEVER hesitates to answer in-depth to questions, phone calls, or emails. She has been incredibly receptive to merging my thoughts and ideas with her own to achieve balanced wellness that not only meets my nutritional goals but also furthers my training sessions. And Andrea wants to make sure your WHOLE body is well...she really takes the time to look at the big picture to better determine a plan of care that is tailored to YOU. Cookie cutter plans aren't her style, so expect to answer a lot of questions about yourself.
I wanted to lose fat while also gaining lean muscle mass...this is tricky and can be a frustrating process (I know because I tried to do it without her help with almost no success) but Andrea had me on the right track in no time. Her suggestions are realistic, and work for me. She never asks me to do something that just won't work for my lifestyle; she will however push you to go a little outside your comfort zone to reach your goals even faster. I am happy to report that I have dropped from 35% body fat to just 27%...and the pounds of fat just keep coming off while my performance in the gym is increasing. If you are struggling to put all the pieces together, Andrea is the professional for you. If you follow her advice, you WILL see results!
Mary H. El Centro, CA February 5, 2017
I've been working with Andrea at H20 Nutrition for several months now and I cannot begin to express the results that I have seen both physically and mentally. Andrea takes a wholistic approach to transforming your body, eating habits and motivation levels on a daily basis. I continue to drop weight and tone up with every additional session and additional week of food journaling (Andrea makes you keep a comprehensive food journal through a convenient mobile app), which sounds terrible but I promise is the only way to get results! I have never had more energy and accountability with my eating and exercise habits. Aside from being an amazing personal trainer that will kick your ass every session, Andrea is also just an incredible person to work with, ten thousand percent recommend working with Andrea and H20!
Caroline S. Fleetridge, San Diego, CA February 5, 2017
H20 Nutrition is the best. Andrea is very knowledgeable and helped me reach my goals in an educational and realistic manner. Never felt better or stronger.
Kipp G. Encinitas, CA February 5, 2017
I met with Andrea for the first time- she's absolutely wonderful! Her energy and excitement really got me motivated to try working on my health and nutrition once again. She's very knowledgeable and genuinely cares about helping her clients achieve goals. She didn't give me any food restrictions or a crazy plan thats unrealistic. Andrea focused mostly on balancing out my diet. So glad i met with her and very excited to see results!
Sahar B. San Diego, CA February 5, 2017
Andrea ROCCCKKKKS IT!!!!!! She isn't just a wonderful person with AMAZING energy, but she knows her stuff! She is a blast to work with and is clearly passionate about what she does. She clearly practices what she preaches, which is so important. I would recommend her in a second to any of my friends looking for nutritional help.
Andrew C. San Diego, CA February 5, 2017
Andrea is amazing. I initially went in for an assessment about 8 months ago just to see what it was all about and maybe get a few tips and tricks. I’ve been seeing her monthly now and she is amazing.

Nicole, L San Diego, CA February 4, 2017
I definitely recommend Andrea to be your nutritionist. I initially contacted her as a referral from a great friend (who lost a significant amount of weight and body fat), so I was intrigued to find out what H20 nutrition was all about. Andrea set up a nutrition and work out plan that fit my needs and made me feel great about myself. She also recommended supplements that have made me feel healthy and have helped me to meet my goals. I was always confused by info I would read on the internet, or advice from others, so it has been great to get answers from a professional and create a plan that was specific to my needs.
I initially wanted help to ‘shed for the wedding’ which I have done by losing 12 lbs and 4% body fat so far! but it was really most importantly great to learn more about nutrition and what my body needs to be at it’s best. Andrea pushes you to meet your potential and makes you feel motivated to meet your goals.
Andrea did a great job of educating me about different do’s and don’t for nutrition and I feel like I am a better person for that.Andrea is amazing and really great to work with. She makes you feel very comfortable and is a great listener. Andrea will help you to meet your nutrition and fitness needs whatever your unique situation. I am looking forward to continue to work with her in the future as I move on to new phases of life. ?
Christina B. San Diego, CA February 4, 2017
If you want to not only change your body but change the way you think about health and nutrition, then contact Andrea. I have worked with her since February 2012 and she helped me lose 10 pounds and go from 19 to 14% body fat. My workouts are better, my mood, skin and sleep have improved, and I feel more positive and excited about my progress and journey every time I meet with her. She is very accessible and always responds quickly to my texts and emails asking about new products or supplements. Most importantly, you can tell she cares about each of her clients and is an incredibly sweet, hard-working and thoughtful person. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to change their body or even just learn more about health and fitness in general. She's amazing! 🙂

Karen O. Ashburn, VA February 4, 2017
Andrea is awesome! I am a former college tennis player that has always enjoyed exercising, but really have not focused enough at all on my diet and eating the right foods. I’m in my early 30s now, and I really need a wake up call, and going to Andrea for advice and coaching on my nutrition was exactly what I needed. She is so positive, so encouraging, and so knowledgeable about what nutrition, exercise, supplements, you name it! I would recommend her to anyone looking to get themselves turned in the right direction with their health.
Stacy M. San Diego, CA February 4, 2017
I was so excited to meet Andrea because she tailors a program around my body type. I started with training sessions and actually had fun getting my butt kicked! I’ve also been dealing with digestion problems, so I consulted with Andrea about making adjustments to my eating habits – she has already done more for me than any doctor has. Her recommendations were not only reasonable and well-informed, but following her advice has already changed the way I feel about my body. Andrea’s enthusiasm and positive attitude have been the best motivation – I can’t thank her enough!
