Hi, I’m Leah!

I am a firm believer that our genes may hold the blueprint of our health, but they’re not our destiny. In other words, just because a certain medical condition runs in your family, doesn’t mean it is certain that will develop it too!

When I was a little girl and my mother would prepare steamed vegetables for dinner, I used to ask her to set aside the water from the steam so I could drink the cocktail of nutrients that would leak from the veggies.

It’s fair to say that I’ve been fascinated by nutrition from a young age. I’m driven by prevention - the fact that the food we eat has the power to manipulate our genes and prevent certain chronic complications from occurring in the first place. I believe that food does far more than just provide calories, but rather provides information to our cells and allows our bodies to function optimally… if we eat well!

After receiving my undergraduate degree in dietetics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and subsequently completing my dietetic internship at Montefiore Medical Center and my masters degree in Clinical Nutrition at NYU in 2014, I began to practice privately, seeing clients from all over the country. I realized very quickly that weight loss often came hand-in-hand with my healthy eating approach, once solely intended for disease prevention or management.
