Nutrition Consultation in Puerto Vallarta: A Guide for Expats and Health-Conscious Visitors

Nutrition Care in Puerto Vallarta: More Than You'd Expect

Puerto Vallarta attracts health-conscious visitors and expats who want to maintain or improve their wellbeing while enjoying life in a beach destination. Clinical nutrition services in the Versalles medical district are sophisticated, affordable, and available without the waiting lists common in the US and Canada.

Dra. Aylin Santana Ortiz, clinical nutritionist at Madeira Medical Group, works with international patients on weight management, chronic disease nutrition, sports nutrition, and post-surgical dietary recovery.

  • InBody body composition analysis — body fat %, muscle mass, visceral fat, metabolic rate
  • Dietary assessment — caloric intake, nutrient deficiencies, eating patterns
  • Personalized meal plan — adapted to Puerto Vallarta's food environment (local markets, restaurants, foods available)
  • Supplement recommendations if needed
