Ex​perience

Her Career

May Ignacio began her career in 1993 as a ​dietitian at Biogenic by Soto, a wellness ​health clinic in Legaspi Village, Makati City. ​The following year, she joined Slimmers ​World International, working across several ​branches.


By 1998, she established two nutrition clinics ​in San Pedro Laguna and one in Muntinlupa ​City. In 2017, she launched a diet meal ​delivery service, personalized workout ​programs, and diet counseling in Baguio City.

During the pandemic, she transitioned to ​online nutrition and diet counseling to ensure ​continuous support for her clients.

ONLINE CONSULTATION

In her online nutrition and diet counseling, ​May goes beyond just telling clients what to ​eat. Recognizing that there is no one-size-​fits-all diet, she addresses the pitfalls of fad ​diets that lack scientific backing. These diets ​are often unsafe, overly restrictive, and ​unsustainable, leading to more weight gain ​and dissatisfaction once they end. May ​explains the body's physiology and uses ​recent evidence to help clients lose weight ​effectively. Her approach is tailored to each ​client's unique needs, focusing on identifying ​and addressing key areas holding them back.

She develops personalized meal plans based ​on clients' specific needs and goals. This ​involves a detailed assessment of dietary ​habits, meal timing, eating locations, ​preferences, activity levels, medical ​conditions, and other factors influencing food ​choices. This information allows her to ​determine dietary requirements and identify ​factors contributing to weight gain. Together ​with the client, she creates a customized diet ​plan designed for sustainable success.

In setting goals, May ensures clients have ​realistic expectations for weight loss, avoiding ​promises of drastic reductions like 15 kg per ​month. Unrealistic goals often lead to ​frustration and disappointment. Instead, she ​works with clients to make goals achievable ​and realistic. She advises on the timeline for ​safe and maintainable weight loss.

May has been featured in several TV ​interviews, including Net 25's “Kada Umaga” ​in January 24, 2022, GMA “Dapat Alam mo” ​on December 15, 2022, and RNG Luzon’s ​“Morning Baliktaktakan” on October 19, 2023.
