About Rita
I'm a Registered Dietitian with 24 years experience, with 5 of those being in private practice. I hold a B.S. in Nutrition Management from Rochester Institute of Technology and an advanced practice, dietetic internship at the University of Buffalo. I'm currently taking courses to earn a certification in Integrative and Functional Nutrition, allowing me to provide even more personalized and holistic health guidance.
Approach to care
I believe each client is unique... by creating a personalized treatment plan based on symptoms, lifestyle & one's unique bio-makeup. I use a food as medicine approach to support health and wellness along with integrative nutrition & holistic methods in my practice. Additionally, I provide lifestyle interventions to prevent and/or treat chronic disease through diet and lifestyle changes. I also offer customized meal plans and a 12-week therapeutic lifestyle program that helps people improve their health through diet, exercise and stress management. This program is designed to help with chronic health issues like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes and overweight/obesity.
Your first session with Rita
A customized nutrition plan to help you meet your health and wellness goals. I will analyze your current eating pattern, lifestyle, complete a comprehensive nutritional assessment, work on setting goals, provide nutrition education, recommendations and interventions to help you achieve positive health outcomes.
