Managing metabolic and heart health through nutrition that’s built around your numbers.
Specialized nutrition counseling for metabolic syndrome, diabetes, pre-diabetes, high cholesterol, hypertension, and cardiometabolic health. Covered by insurance.
Your doctor gave you the numbers, now what?
High cholesterol. Elevated blood pressure. Blood sugar creeping toward pre-diabetes. Triglycerides that are trending in the wrong direction. Maybe a formal diagnosis of metabolic syndrome. Maybe a family history that makes these numbers feel more urgent than they might otherwise.
Your doctor may have recommended lifestyle changes and sent you on your way. And now you’re sitting with a set of lab values that concern you and no real roadmap for what to actually do. That’s where we come in.
The “right dietary approach” looks different for every person, and getting there requires a level of individualization that a pamphlet or a standard referral can’t provide.
There is a lot of noise in the nutrition space around heart health and metabolism.
Some of that noise includes a significant amount of conflicting information about dietary fat, carbohydrates, red meat, and any number of other specific foods.
We base our recommendations on the actual evidence — and we take the time to explain the reasoning so you understand why we’re recommending what we’re recommending.
We also take the whole person into account. A nutrition plan for metabolic and heart health needs to account for your food preferences, your cultural background, your schedule, your budget, and your relationship with food — not just your lab values.
A plan you can’t realistically maintain will not improve your metabolic health long-term, no matter how evidence-based it is on paper.
Metabolic Conditions We Specialize In
01
Pre-Diabetes and Insulin Resistance
Pre-diabetes is a critical window — the point at which meaningful nutritional and lifestyle intervention can prevent or significantly delay the progression to type 2 diabetes. We work with pre-diabetic clients to improve insulin sensitivity, stabilize blood sugar, reduce inflammatory dietary inputs, and build sustainable habits that address the metabolic root causes.
02
Type 2 Diabetes
Nutrition is not an adjunct to diabetes management — it’s central to it. We work with type 2 diabetic clients to optimize blood sugar control, support medication effectiveness, address the metabolic drivers of glucose dysregulation, and prevent or slow the progression of diabetes-related complications. We build plans that actually work in your daily life, not theoretical best-case scenarios.
03
High Cholesterol and Dyslipidemia
Cholesterol is more nuanced than a single number on a lab report. We assess your full lipid profile — including LDL particle size and oxidation, HDL function, and triglycerides — and build a nutritional approach that targets your specific pattern of dyslipidemia. This goes well beyond the standard “eat less saturated fat” advice.
04
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)
Dietary approaches to blood pressure management are robust and well-evidenced — and significantly underutilized. We implement evidence-based dietary approaches including targeted mineral support, anti-inflammatory nutrition, and dietary patterns clinically shown to support cardiovascular health.
05
Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome—the cluster of high blood sugar, high blood pressure, elevated triglycerides, low HDL, and excess abdominal weight—is fundamentally a condition of metabolic dysfunction. Our approach addresses the underlying insulin resistance and inflammation that drive it, rather than treating each marker in isolation.
06
Heart Disease Management
For clients with established cardiovascular disease or a strong family history, nutritional intervention is a cornerstone of secondary prevention. We work alongside your cardiologist to build a nutritional strategy that supports cardiovascular health, addresses specific lipid and inflammatory markers, and reduces overall risk.
Nutrition is one of the most powerful tools available for managing and improving metabolic and cardiovascular health markers.
The research is clear: the right dietary approach can significantly reduce LDL cholesterol, lower blood pressure, improve insulin sensitivity, reduce triglycerides, and decrease cardiovascular risk.
Metabolic and cardiovascular nutrition counseling works best when it’s integrated with your medical care. We regularly communicate with clients’ primary care physicians, cardiologists, and endocrinologists — sharing nutrition assessments and plans with your consent to ensure your care is coordinated and consistent.
Your lab values are telling you something about your metabolic health, and nutrition is a part of the answer.
Book your first appointment with one of our metabolic health registered dietitian nutritionists — and get a nutritional plan that’s built around your numbers, your specific biology, and your real life.
FAQ
Is metabolic nutrition counseling covered by insurance? Medical nutrition therapy for diabetes is covered by Medicare and most major insurance plans. Coverage for other metabolic conditions varies by plan. We will verify your benefits before your first appointment.
Do I need to be on medication to work with you? No. We work with clients who are managing their metabolic health through lifestyle alone as well as those who are on medications. Our nutrition approach complements both.
Can good nutrition really make a significant difference in my cholesterol or blood pressure? Yes — the evidence for nutritional intervention in cardiometabolic health is some of the strongest in all of nutrition science. The degree of impact varies by individual and by condition, and we’ll always be realistic with you about what to expect.
What insurance do you accept? 1199SEIU, Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, NYCEPPO, Healthfirst, Meritain, NYSHIP, UnitedHealthcare, Oxford, Northwell, and Medicare.
