Client-Focused Approach
My approach to nutrition counseling has always been client-focused – deeply listening to each person’s concerns and working together to resolve them has been a top priority.
Gone are the days of one-size-fits-all diets. Instead, we focus on discovering the eating plan that syncs perfectly with your body’s needs. For some it’s lower-carb; for others, it may be higher fat. Certain individuals may require a specific form or amount of a vitamin, mineral or bioactive compound in food than others to thrive.
Your health journey is about understanding how your body works best and aligning your nutrition choices accordingly. By working together, we tailor a plan that not only addresses your health concerns, but also propels you towards the healthiest, most vibrant version of yourself.

Meet Andrea
About
Andrea’s interest in food and nutrition dates back to her childhood working in her grandmother’s catering business. That love encompassed fitness as she grew and competed in racquet sports. Later she became an avid runner and cyclist.
After an unsatisfying career in advertising, Andrea returned to school to pursue her love of health. She wanted to make a difference by helping others.
After graduating from Columbia University with a Masters of Science degree in Nutrition and Exercise Physiology, her career has taken her down many different paths, from working with the hit show Hamilton on Broadway to Olympic athletes and back to teaching at Columbia.
She sought advanced education in Integrative and Functional Nutrition and became a Certified Genomic Medicine Clinician. Her training and knowledge of biochemistry and genomics now enables her to work on a deeper and more personalized level.
During her genomics training, she learned about variations in DNA that help to define which dietary and exercise regimens would be most beneficial for each person, given their unique make-up.
Although a genomics test is not required to work with Andrea, it can be extremely beneficial. Andrea can look deeply into your DNA to help you gain a more complete understanding of your body. From the best type of exercise for your genotype to your predisposition to specific diseases, Andrea can craft a plan that keeps you healthy and vibrant for years to come.
