Full bio

Monica Pirez Garcia, MS, RDN, LDN, CLT, IFNCP, is a registered dietitian nutritionist and the founder of ADHD Nutrition 4 Kids, a practice that helps parents understand what may be behind their child’s attention, mood and behavior.

Monica came to nutrition from a first career in structural engineering. When her own daughter was diagnosed with ADHD, she went looking for the parts of the picture no one was checking, and that search became her work. She brings an engineer’s habit of finding the load bearing problem first, combining therapeutic nutrition, food sensitivity work and functional lab testing into one plan per child.

She holds a master’s in dietetics and nutrition from Florida International University, is licensed in Florida and New York, and is a Certified LEAP Therapist and an Integrative and Functional Nutrition Certified Practitioner. She works with families in English and Spanish through the Balanced Brain Blueprint, her four month one on one program.

Monica lives in Fort Lauderdale with her husband, their two daughters and two dogs.

Her story

Why this work is personal

Before nutrition, Monica built a career in civil and structural engineering. That changed when her daughter was diagnosed with moderate ADHD. As Monica began identifying and addressing her daughter’s nutritional gaps, she saw how much targeted nutrition can support focus, behavior and everyday family life, and she changed the direction of her career to help other families find the same answers.

She is, by her own description, an introvert. She speaks anyway, because the families she works with started exactly where she did.

“Many children who struggle with attention, mood and behavior are not broken. They are missing key biological support.”
