Syeda Hassan

About Syeda

Careful listening and practical problem solving led me to clinical nutrition. I earned a BS in Health and Nutrition from Brooklyn College and an MS in Clinical Nutrition from New York University, and for four years I worked as a Registered Dietitian in hospital and outpatient settings across NYC. As a licensed Registered Dietitian, I use that clinical experience to translate evidence into realistic, sustainable plans we can try together. Outside of work you'll often find me reading, taking a pilates class, trying new cuisines or planning my next trip.

Approach to care

Evidence and empathy matter equally. I ground recommendations in current research, then turn that science into clear, actionable steps we'll test together. I prioritize a weight-neutral, Health at Every Size perspective, focusing on behaviors and function rather than a number on the scale. We'll look at the whole person, including sleep, stress, movement, and food, and I aim to teach you the why behind each change so choices stick long term.

Your first session with Syeda

In that initial visit we'll review your medical history and any lab work or biometrics you can bring, and talk about what matters most to you. We will set one or two short-term, achievable goals together so you leave with clarity and momentum. This is a judgment-free conversation, and you don't need to have all the answers before we start. We'll keep plans practical and adjustable as we learn what works best for you.
