About Me
Hi! I am Aderet (or sometimes Dana), a registered dietitian from New York who loves plant-based eating, aspires to be a vegan-foodie, and never turns down chocolate. You can just as easily find me roaming around the farmer’s market as you can with a glass of white wine in hand while binge watching Chopped.
My journey began as a teenager when my doctor suggested I see a nutritionist to help me learn to control my weight. My interest in nutrition had piqued; I shed the extra weight, and graduated college with a Bachelors of Science degree in Nutrition & Dietetics from New York University. I went on to work over the next few years in the food industry as well as the non-profit sector, gaining experience in the Community and Food Service Management areas of the nutrition field. Simultaneously, I received my Masters of Science degree in Nutrition Education from Teachers College Columbia University, my credential as a Registered Dietitian, and New York license as a Dietitian-Nutritionist. As I continue on in my career in Dietetics I hope to keep bringing my expertise in food, nutrition and health to work that connects us to nature and restores the health of our planet and people.
I believe in taking a natural approach to nutrition for Moms and Babies by cultivating a positive and wholesome relationship with food as a foundation for life. Dining with Nature is my virtual private practice, founded in 2021, that works with women throughout their journey into motherhood to bring quality maternal healthcare that nurtures a positive relationship with food and body from gestation to first steps.
