About Gemady
Hello, I'm Gema! I'm based in Jersey City. I'm an inpatient dietitian with experience in weight management, cardiac, diabetes and sports nutrition. I have a background in fitness, and received a personal training certification from ACSM. I'm passionate about nutrition for preventing disease and in managing chronic conditions and in helping individuals reach their fitness goals.
Approach to care
My goal is to create a safe and judgement-free space for my clients to share their nutrition and health journey. I take a collaborative approach, meaning I will work with your strengths, lifestyle and preferences to create a nutrition plan that best fits your needs. I believe that food can nourish our body and mind. But I believe that food is more than nourishment - food connects us to our roots, our culture and with each other. I believe that nutrition counseling should involve more than just telling you what and how much foods to eat but helping you identify what matters to you and how we can work towards nourishing you without compromising your values.
Your first session with Gemady
We will review your nutrition and health goals, collaborate on creating strategies to reach those goals and I will provide you with evidence based nutrition recommendations tailored to your needs. During this session, I will ask about your eating habits, dietary preferences, allergies and dietary restrictions.
