Background
Hi! I'm Belkys (pronounced like bell and kiss).
I believe food is medicine!
I believe optimal nutrition should not be confusing, complicated or time consuming.
And I believe it is different for everybody!
What is it like to work with me?
You can expect to receive personalized nutrition and evidence based care that targets your health needs.
The conditions I work with include: weight management, prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, GLP-1 support, high cholesterol, PMOS (formerly PCOS), IBS, perimenopause, menopause and CKD.
Together, we will set goals and strategies that are realistic for you and your schedule so that you feel empowered in managing your health outcomes.
We can work on :
- evidence based strategies that target your specific health needs
- recipes and meal planning for busy individuals
- emotional eating and your relationship with food
- finding movement that is enjoyable
- sleep and how it affects your health
- hydration
- dining out strategies
- grocery store tour
- and anything else that is important to you in your nutrition journey.
I earned my degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from New York University and completed my internship at Brigham and Women's Hospital , an affiliate of Harvard Medical School.
On my free time, you'll find me trying out new recipes and taking walks with my Siberian Husky.
I love Oreos. I love mangoes. But Oreos win!

Approach
I help clients understand the "why" behind nutrition so they can feel confident making food choices . This is a safe place where there is no judgement and I consider you to be the expert of your own body. I will encourage you to set goals for yourself that feel realistic and fit into your lifestyle. This sets you up for success and allows you to maintain these new lifestyle changes long after our sessions end.
