Your Nutrition Journey To a Healthier, Longer, & More Vibrant Life Starts Here!

A Unique Philosophy

My approach to nutrition emphasizes joy, balance, and sustainability, with a focus on incorporating nourishing, high-quality foods. I guide clients in cultivating strategies that enhance their well-being through a diet rich in whole grains, fresh produce, healthy fats, fiber, lean proteins, and even dark chocolate. I tailor my techniques to each individual’s unique needs by offering an integrative and functional approach to nutrition, while addressing the root causes of health challenges to support long-term wellness.

I firmly believe in the power of nutrition as both prevention and medicine, and it is never too late to implement positive changes. Given the strong connection between chronic diseases and lifestyle factors, adopting a holistic approach encompassing balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, stress management, and restorative sleep is crucial for optimizing healthspan—the quality of life as we age. Together, we can make meaningful, lasting improvements that foster physical health while still celebrating life's pleasures.

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) with a Bachelor of Science in Nutritional Sciences from Rutgers University and a Master of Science in Nutrition, Healthspan and Longevity from the University of Southern California. With over five years of hands-on experience, including a 1,000-hour internship, I have developed a strong foundation in diverse nutrition settings, including private practice, The Juilliard School, the School of American Ballet, ShopRite, and Jewish Home Family Rehabilitation and Long-Term Care Facility.

Success Stories & Kind Words

  • "Before making lifestyle changes, I struggled with Hashimoto's disease, weight gain, and pre-diabetes. Despite various treatments, I couldn’t achieve the results I wanted until Shifra assisted me with simple, yet effective adjustments to my diet and daily habits. Thanks to Shifra’s guidance, my A1C, fasting glucose, cholesterol, and weight all improved drastically in just a few months. Now, I understand how to manage my blood glucose and weight effectively and am committed to my new healthy lifestyle. Shifra’s expertise and support has truly transformed my overall well-being."

  • "At 42, I was diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia early in my first pregnancy, despite having no prior history of it. My situation was complicated by a high-risk pregnancy due to a previous twin miscarriage and then having IVF treatment. Even though I was taking a prenatal vitamin and iron supplements, my iron levels weren’t improving enough. My OBGYN recommended consulting a dietitian, and I turned to Shifra for help. With Shifra’s guidance on dietary modifications, my iron levels increased within just two months. Following her advice, I was able to maintain normal iron levels throughout my pregnancy, and my child was born without iron deficiency anemia. Even post-pregnancy, my iron levels continue to improve, and my doctors are pleased with the progress. Thank you Shifra for your knowledge, and making a significant difference in my health, and of course, my newborn son’s.”

  • “I struggled for years with managing my glucose and A1C levels, worsened by a strong family history of severe type 2 diabetes. When my A1C reached an all-time high, I was advised to start medication. However, I was determined to explore natural ways to improve my health and avoid medication. That’s when I reached out to Shifra, and thanks to Shifra’s personalized guidance, I saw dramatic improvements in my A1C, fasting glucose, and weight within just a few months. Within the first month of implementing Shifra’s recommendations, my glucose levels started to improve, and in a few months, I had reached my goal weight. I continue to follow Shifra’s lifestyle changes to this day, and her support has been pivotal in managing my diabetes effectively."
