Deena Goldman

About Deena

I'm a registered dietitian with a clinical background, and I work with a wide range of patients, from those looking to lose weight or improve their overall health to those managing more complex conditions. My areas of focus include weight management, including GLP-1 medications, gut health, and conditions like IBS, IBD, and cancer, as well as nutrition support such as tube feeding and TPN. I enjoy helping people understand how nutrition actually works so they can make informed decisions that fit their day-to-day life.

Approach to care

My approach is individualized, practical, and grounded in evidence. I focus on helping you understand what is happening in your body and why certain recommendations are being made, rather than just giving a plan to follow. I do not rely on overly restrictive diets or unrealistic changes, but I will also be honest about what is likely to be effective and what is not. The goal is to build something sustainable that makes sense for your lifestyle and medical needs.

Your first session with Deena

The first session is focused on getting a clear picture of your health history, current routine, and goals. I will ask detailed questions to understand what has been working, what has not, and where the main challenges are. From there, we will start to outline a plan with clear next steps, along with an explanation of the reasoning behind it so you know exactly what we are focusing on and why.
