Background
Priyanka received her Master's in Nutrition from Montclair University and completed her supervised practice at New York-Presbyterian Hospital. Her emotional eating and weight loss journey inspired her to become a registered dietitian nutritionist. This firsthand experience allows Priyanka to deeply empathize with her patients as they navigate healthy eating challenges. She empowers them to reach their goals using mindfulness techniques to realign their relationship with food.
Priyanka brings a wealth of experience in various areas, including weight management, bariatric nutrition, heart health, and diabetes. She combines her professional expertise with an empathetic approach to provide comprehensive nutritional counseling that is both educational and motivational.
When she's not helping patients, Priyanka enjoys exploring new healthy recipes and staying active with friends and family. Her go-to nutrient-packed snack is Mid-Day Squares. Priyanka believes that small changes can make a big difference in achieving a balanced lifestyle. She recommends starting your morning with a protein and fiber-filled breakfast. A habit she swears by is walking as much as possible throughout the day and dancing it out when possible. Her nutrition philosophy is simple: you can make the foods you love more nutritionally dense.
With Priyanka's guidance, you'll find a supportive and understanding partner in your journey to better health and well-being.
