About Me

I'm a registered dietitian, author, freelance writer, and speaker based in New York City. I live in Manhattan with my two sons, Spencer, 13, and Eli, 10 and my husband of 19 years, Brian. I feel very fortunate to have a career I'm extremely passionate about and to share what I learn with consumers in a variety of ways.

Each and every day, I try to infuse my passion for living a healthful, balanced and enjoyable life into my work. My goal is to feel empowered and to empower others--a working woman with three kids, a new mom, a stay-at-home mom, an empty nester, children, and teens, and families--to take steps to create their own nutritious and active lives.

Through my books, articles, blogs, television and video segments, print and online interviews, speaking engagements and spokesperson work, my goal has always been to translate information garnered from often times confusing scientific studies on food, nutrition, diet, fitness and health into practical, real world solutions consumers can apply and integrate into their own lives. I constantly read and stay in the loop about topics that resonate with consumers, and do my best to provide accurate, science-based information that makes sense so that consumers feel empowered to then take action to better their food and fitness habits to feel physically and mentally fit and optimize their health.
