About Syeda

I am Syeda Nahid, MS RD has been working as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) with over 20 years of experience, specializing in evidence-based Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) for acute care settings. Proven expertise in developing personalized nutrition plans for General Medicine, oncology and post operative patients, working collaboratively with interdisciplinary teams to improve patient outcomes.

Approach to care

As a clinical dietitian my patient care philosophy centers on evidence-based, patient-centered nutrition therapy to improve health, manage disease, and promote recovery. It emphasizes individualized care that respects patient values, fostering a non-restrictive relationship with food, and often integrating a holistic, multidisciplinary approach. The focus is on nurturing, compassion, and empowering autonomy in food choices.

Your first session with Syeda

First session should be focusing on establishing rapport, assessing nutritional status, and identifying immediate risks through a structured assessment (diet history, medical history, anthropometrics). Key actions include conducting a focused interview (e.g., appetite, weight changes, diet restrictions), reviewing chart and collaborating on a realistic plan.
