As a solution-focused nutrition therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating.

| Bio |
For the past 10 years I have worked as a registered dietitian (RD), medical nutrition therapist and the founder of WestSide Nutrition and Wellness, a nutrition counseling practice on the Upper West Side. I received an undergraduate degree from Washington University in St. Louis and continued at New York University, earning a masters degree in clinical nutrition. Part of my training to become an RD required me to complete a dietetic internship in affiliation with New York University’s Medical Center.
My education and training in the area of holistic health and nutrition continued first at the Natural Gourmet Cookery School and the Institute for Food Healing in New York City, and most recently at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, the only nutrition school integrating all the different dietary theories — combining the knowledge of traditional philosophies with modern concepts like the USDA food pyramid, the glycemic index, the Zone and raw foods.
Prior to working in the field of nutrition and wellness, I worked in Marketing for Oxford Health Plans and Deare Marketing Communications, Inc. I currently serve as an advisor to the Shelter Cooking Program at Bnai Jeshurun Hebrew School and have recently served on the board of directors of Wellness in the Schools, a non-profit working to improve the environment, nutrition and fitness in public schools in New York City. |

Melanie is extremely knowledgeable. Working with Melanie, I have learned that nutrition is not just about calories but nutrition involves learning how to eat to fuel my body and to support my lifestyle. Melanie doesn’t simply tell me what to eat but helps me figure out what works best for me. I really appreciate Melanie’s flexibility in working with me to schedule appointments around my hectic schedule. If you are looking for a nutritionist, go see Melanie.
