Ivette Lebron

About Ivette

Hello and welcome! One of my biggest goals as a registered dietitian is to instill what I like to call "nutritional intelligence" in as many people I come across as possible. Additionally, as someone who has lived with Type 1 diabetes for over 20 years, I have firsthand knowledge of the power of nutrition in improving the quality of your life. Having worked in pediatrics, neurology, and community health I strive to deliver culturally competent and evidence-based education to my patients. It is important for me to ensure they understand nutrition is not black and white and can be carefully tailored to each individual person.

Approach to care

My approach to care focuses on gentle guidance, zero judgement, and cultural competence. I aim to educate and guide my patients and their families to make well-informed decisions that work for them and them only. We dig deep and focus on cultivating health promoting behaviors that are realistic, simple, and most importantly permanent in order to achieve optimal health.

Your first session with Ivette

Our first session will be an opportunity for me to get to know you and your support system better. I will do a thorough assessment including medical history, challenges, likes, dislikes. We will also discuss what you hope to gain from working together with room for growth and change as we move long.

Education

I obtained my master's degree in nutrition from Lehman College. I completed my dietetic internship with Lagniappe Wellness where I focused on diabetes and obesity prevention. I also meticulously sought out shadowing opportunities in oncology nutrition, weight management, and chronic disease management in order to strengthen my skills prior to becoming a registered dietitian.

Hobbies

traveling, attending different dance classes, watching horror/thriller films, and cooking for my loved ones
