Maryanne Henderson

About Maryanne

Forty years of providing nutrition care has taught me that food is both science and, for many, the foundation of social connection. As a Registered Dietitian with a master's in nutrition from New York Medical College, I’ve helped people in hospitals, corporate wellness programs, community health settings, long term care, and kidney disease care including early-stage CKD and dialysis, as well as diabetes and weight management. I love cooking and entertaining, reading, and exploring music, theater and movies. That enjoyment of food and life is what I bring to every patient as we work together toward sustainable healthy changes.

Approach to care

Food and health deserve both evidence and compassion. Grounded in research and four decades of practice, I offer clear, practical steps you can use, while keeping the conversation warm and judgment-free. We’ll focus on the whole person, not just a number on a scale, using a weight-neutral, behavior-focused lens that honors mental, emotional and social factors. I strive to educate and empower you so we can build realistic, sustainable habits together and create lasting change. If you do have specific goals in mind, together, we will build a plan to achieve those goals.

Your first session with Maryanne

Expect a relaxed, thorough visit where we review your medical history and any lab work or biometrics you bring. I want to understand your priorities, daily routines, and what you most want to be able to do or enjoy. Together we’ll translate that into realistic goals and practical next steps, so you leave with a plan you can actually use. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out beforehand, just bring your questions and we’ll find a path that helps you feel better and thrive.
