Rosa Sánchez

Dr. Rosa Sanchez has been collaborating with our medical team as a Clinical Nutrition specialist for over a decade, providing individualized medical and nutritional care to patients with eating disorders, weight-related issues, and metabolic disturbances, as well as designing nutritional plans for athletes.

Her work is particularly significant in the field of psychiatry, where certain pharmacological treatments can lead to weight gain, appetite changes, or metabolic alterations. In such cases, she collaborates closely with the psychiatry team to help patients regain a healthy weight and improve their metabolic status without compromising psychiatric stability or necessary medication regimens.

She has a particular interest in and experience with the nutritional treatment of patients suffering from anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and other eating disorders, working as part of a multidisciplinary team that coordinates the efforts of physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, and nutritionists.
She also possesses extensive experience in weight loss and clinical nutrition, including time spent working at the renowned Incosol Clinic. Her specialization in psychiatric patients enables her to provide personalized management of weight gain linked to illness, lifestyle, or specific medications, employing scientific methods and a sustainable, individualized medical approach that prioritizes the patient’s physical and psychological well-being.

She specializes in nutrition for professional athletes, tailoring dietary plans to specific sports disciplines and the various phases of activity—training, competition, recovery, and daily life. Her work helps optimize performance, facilitate proper recovery, and maintain optimal nutritional status throughout the season, complementing our Sports Psychology program.
