Led by Registered Dietitian / Nutritionist & Certified Diabetes and Education Specialist with 12 Years’ Experience.
I’m a Registered Dietitian and a Diabetes Nutrition Specialist who helps people put their Type II diabetes into remission and restores their metabolic health…but I can’t help the “average” person because they don’t exist. I help real people, individually…one by one.
I work with adults who are struggling with weight loss, cravings, fatigue, and elevated blood sugar. Many are unsure how to approach these challenges due to conflicting eating recommendations. Through my Vanguard Metabolic Health 5-step program, I help my clients improve body composition, experience renewed energy levels, increase their fat-burning potential, and ultimately have clear direction on reaching optimal health and weight, achieving lasting results, and performing at their best.

I’m Franco Lopez III – father, husband, veteran, goat rancher, registered dietitian, and diabetes specialist.
Through understanding my body’s unique response to food and designing a personalized eating strategy for my metabolism, I was able to put my diabetes into remission and restore my metabolic health. This success story is not unique to me. Over the past 13 years, I’ve helped hundreds of patients achieve similar results. You can begin your health story too!
Explore our 5-step approach used in practice for effective diabetes management and renewed energy.
When starting a health journey with a client, and even with myself, I had to know where I was to understand where I was going. The more detailed information I can gather, the better I can achieve results by developing systems and strategies based on my specific needs and identified deficits.
All foods are composed of three macronutrients, either individually or in combination. You will determine your ideal goals for protein, carbohydrates, and fat, and decide on the best combinations of these nutrients.
The key here is consistency. Engaging in consistent movement, especially gaining muscle mass, supports the reduction of weight loss resistance.
It is essential to be able to track and measure your progress in any activity that you want to improve. Now, you can track and measure your progress. You can’t possibly know which direction you’re going unless you have some system that allows you to obtain feedback. To receive feedback, you need input going in. The more detailed input we have, the more detailed feedback we get, and the more tailored activity and eating protocols can be made for optimal results.
Intentional supplementation is key! You may feel overwhelmed by all the supplement options, and you may not know what is right for you. You want support in choosing the right supplements. If this is you, I hear you! I offer access to 3rd-party tested, pharmaceutical-grade supplement options.
“As a result of working with Franco, I went from 315lbs to 297, sugar levels went from 275-300 average with diabetic medicine to 125-170 with no medicine at all. Liver enzymes from 78 to 50. All of this by learning what foods work with me with the help of Franco.
I enjoyed working with someone as knowledgeable as he is, specially since he was on the same diabetes boat so I could relate with him. I enjoyed his wisdom and encouragement. He does not judge you. Franco helps you and he truly cares for your health.”
