Anick Diessongo

About Anick

Bronx neighborhoods and home cooking shape how I think about nourishment. With five years as a Registered Dietitian and a BS in dietetics from Lehman College, I blend clinical hospital experience, community health work, and hands-on cooking classes to make nutrition practical and accessible. I practice as an RDN with LDN and CDN licenses, and outside of work I love cooking, reading, and walking. I’m passionate about helping people nourish their bodies so they can feel comfortable and confident in daily life.

Approach to care

Nutrition matters for more than lab values. I use evidence-based guidance to help you build sustainable habits that respect your body and life. I’m warm and empathetic, and also direct, so we’ll set clear, practical steps and measure what’s useful. My work is weight-neutral and behavior-focused, grounded in Health At Every Size principles. Together we’ll address the whole person, translate science into everyday choices, and build the skills and knowledge you need to sustain change without dieting culture pressure.

Your first session with Anick

Expect a relaxed, judgment-free conversation where we’ll review your medical history and what’s been happening in your life. I’ll ask about routines, wins, struggles, and what matters most to you so we can connect as people, not just a chart. Together we’ll set one or two short-term, realistic goals and leave with clear action steps you can try. You don’t need everything figured out beforehand, just bring your questions and we’ll build from there.
