Meet Dr. Su-Nui Escobar, DCN, RDN, FAND
Welcome! I’m Su-Nui, your menopause
Weight Loss nutritionist.
Welcome! My name is Dr. Su-Nui Escobar, and I’m a doctor in clinical nutrition and registered dietitian specializing in weight loss during perimenopause and menopause. This is a stage when the old rules for losing weight stop working. Hormone shifts and insulin resistance change how your body holds onto weight, and muscle loss makes it easier to lose ground and harder to build it back. What worked for you at 30 often doesn’t work anymore, and that’s exactly where I come in.
For many of the women I work with, a GLP-1 medication is part of that picture too. I first learned about GLP-1 nutrition in 2022, working as a dietitian on clinical trials researching these medications, before they became a household name. In 2026, after weight gain from my own perimenopause, I started on a GLP-1 myself, so I know this transition from both sides now, as the dietitian and as the patient.
I know every woman’s body responds differently at this stage, and that’s especially true if you’re also navigating a GLP-1. Appetite changes, food noise quiets down, and the way you need to eat shifts. My goal is to help you make informed decisions about your own menopause weight loss, whether you’re on a medication or not.
One of the highlights of my career as a registered dietitian has been my ongoing work with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics: writing about nutrition and menopause for their website, speaking at their national conference, FNCE, and serving as a former spokesperson.
