Dr. Oraida Oliva

About the Doctor

I am passionate about Nutrition and Sports, and I am fully convinced that well-focused nutrition can add life, allow you to feel fulfilled — because even with diagnosed conditions, in a large number of them diet plays a crucial role. I work very closely with dietary guidance and empathy so my patients can achieve the results they expect without suffering in the process; it's about making life easier and acquiring new habits, not further complicating our daily life, so everything can be sustainable. Whether you are an athlete or not, nutrition will help improve your daily performance, even help you live more fully and even exceed your goals. It is extremely gratifying for me when my patients tell me they hadn't felt this good in years, that after failed attempts they achieved a certain weight, body fat percentage, and even, in the case of athletes, improved their times, since in some disciplines gaining seconds can be the big difference between victory and defeat, and being part of their triumphs makes me proud, since it is teamwork. I was lucky to find work that isn't work because I enjoy it, I am passionate about it, and I love contributing to people's well-being, always alongside science, since nothing addressed in the practice is without evidence or based on empiricism. I have extensive continuing education in endocrine diseases, autoimmune diseases, liver health, as well as comprehensive treatment of obesity in the field of sports, with experience in professional sports; I was in charge of the Nutrition department of Club Atlante FC, and other 2nd and 3rd division clubs. I have had the honor of supporting medalists in open water swimming, gymnastics, triathlon, cycling, weightlifting, judo, race walking, and even sport motorcycling, both adults and supporting young athletes. I have a broad clinical profile where I have trained as a breastfeeding promoter (as a mother it was so important and necessary for me to learn about and care for mothers starting this process with their children, especially when they are athletes). I have supported many adolescents, mothers, women, and men of all ages to change their body composition, to achieve a version of themselves they feel happier with and, of course, healthier. For me, Nutrition is not only my profession but my lifestyle, so my family and I try to reflect that; my parents always told me you have to lead by example, so I strive to achieve that and instill it at home. Currently, in addition to private practice both in person and online, I am President of Fundacion Educan para la Innovacion y Divulgacion de la Ciencia, and I am also in the process of becoming certified as a Sports Nutrition expert through Club Barcelona.
