Meet the Team
Our ultimate goal is to help you become your best self.
Did you know becoming a doctor requires very little schooling in nutrition? Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) also known as Registered Dietitians (RDs) have the education, training, and credentials to provide nutrition assessments, diagnoses and interventions to help optimize your wellness and even address, treat, and prevent disease. But watch out—the term “nutritionist” is not regulated and requires no specific education or training.
If you want to be sure you’re working with the most qualified experts, look for Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs).
Chelsea Magro
Chelsea began her career at Stony Brook Hospital in the Clinical Nutrition Department. She has experience working in many different areas of the inpatient setting including cancer, critically ill/ICU, nutrition support, cardiac, diabetes, renal, pediatrics, and mental illness. Now in her private practice, She enjoys working one-on-one with clients and helping them begin their health journeys.
While everybody is unique and has different nutritional requirements, the one commonality is that we all require whole, nutritious foods to fuel our bodies. Chelsea views whole foods as medicine to heal and protect our bodies while boosting our immune systems. Whereas processed foods, chemicals, additives, and preservatives lower our immune system and slow our bodies down.
While she encourages a plant-focused diet, she supports and respects each person’s desire to consume any and all foods in moderation. Chelsea focuses on the fact that nutrition is not just our physical body’s medicine but also our mind’s medicine that fuels our thoughts, moods, and beliefs.
