After 11 amazing years as a clinical dietitian at Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation, I’m stepping away to focus on my private practice. The clinical skills I gained continue to shape the work I do every day.
It’s bittersweet, but I’m grateful for the colleagues, patients, and experiences that helped me grow both personally and professionally.
If you’re looking to work with a registered dietitian, I’m here and ready to help-feel free to reach out!

🍳 To eat eggs or not to eat eggs—that is the question. The American Heart Association’s latest guidelines on whole egg consumption are outlined below:

-Healthy Adults: One whole egg per day can be part of a heart-healthy diet.
-Healthy Older Adults: Up to two eggs daily is acceptable, thanks to their nutrient density and convenience.
-Need more protein? Add extra egg whites to your meals without the added saturated fat.
-Worried about cholesterol? Don’t be—multiple studies now show that dietary cholesterol from eggs is not a concern for most people.

🍳 Nutritional Highlights:
Whole eggs are packed with high-quality protein, vitamin A, B12, riboflavin, iron, choline, and lutein—key nutrients for brain health, memory, and overall wellness.

❗️If you’re managing high cholesterol, the AHA recommends keeping saturated fat intake below 6% of your total daily calories. Egg yolks do contain some saturated fat, so keep that in mind.

Questions? Let’s chat!

👩🏻‍🍳 To close out National Nutrition Month, the Holy Name Community Health Department partnered with the Borough of Fort Lee to host an interactive cooking demonstration for its residents.
🍳 A common challenge in home care is encouraging individuals who live alone to cook, as they are often discouraged by the effort, mess, and cleanup.
🍔 Relying on takeout leads to excess calories, sodium and carbohydrates, which can hinder disease management.
🥑 The demo focused on simple cooking techniques using pre-prepped, lower-sodium, and cleaner ingredients to show how easy and convenient cooking at home can be.

🥑 It’s been an exciting month celebrating National Nutrition Month in the community! Our next event is just around the corner:

📞 This free event is open to the public, but space is limited! Be sure to call soon to reserve your spot.
