Owner/Santiago Capetillo MS, RD, LD
I’m Santiago Capetillo, a registered dietitian and the founder of Renegade RD. My journey in nutritional science began at Texas A&M, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition. I furthered my education with a 2000-hour supervised clinical internship and completed my Master’s in Nutritional Science at Texas Tech University.
With over five years of experience, I’ve worked extensively in hospital settings and postsurgical rehab facilities. During this time, I’ve had the privilege of educating hundreds of patients in managing a range of chronic conditions, including Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cancer, heart disease, IBS/IBD, diverticulitis, GERD, obesity, chronic kidney disease, and low BMI.
While my clinical background provided me with valuable skills, it also highlighted the need for ongoing personalized support. This realization was a key factor in founding Renegade RD. My goal is to bridge the gap between clinical care and long-term wellness by offering a more empathetic and supportive approach to health.
Beyond my professional life I’m a father, a son, and someone who juggles many roles and responsibilities. I understand how a busy life can pull us in different directions, often leading us to prioritize some aspects of our lives while neglecting others, including our own well-being.
I believe that to be our best selves in any role—whether as a parent, professional, or individual—good health is the foundation. I’m passionate about helping you make small realistic changes that lead to lasting health benefits. At Renegade RD, my aim is to empower you with the tools and knowledge to fuel your body, create a healthier version of yourself, and enjoy the foods you love.
If you’re ready to embark on a journey towards a healthier you, let’s start this process together.
