Clara Citron, RD, RDN, NY | Dietitian

About Clara Citron

Clara brings a warm and compassionate approach to her work, creating a judgment-free space where clients feel comfortable sharing their goals and challenges. Clara earned her Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and Food Studies from New York University (NYU). Following graduation, she completed her dietetic internship at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, TN. She is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Nutrition Education at American University in Washington, DC. Clara has worked in both clinical and outpatient settings, but finds her greatest fulfillment in the counseling environment, where she thrives in helping clients make meaningful, sustainable changes. Specialties: Weight Loss and Management (including GLP-1 use), Hormonal Health (including PCOS, endometriosis, and all stages of menopause), Anti-Diet & Intuitive Eating, Cardiovascular Health (including elevated blood pressure and high cholesterol), and General Wellness. Clara’s approach to care is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based practice. She believes nutrition counseling works best when personalized—there’s no one-size-fits-all plan. Clara takes time to understand each client’s health history, lifestyle, preferences, and goals, then develops practical, sustainable strategies for success. While experienced in weight management, Clara does not focus solely on the scale. She emphasizes overall health, sustainable habits, and how clients feel—physically and mentally—throughout their journey. Progress is measured by improvements in energy, strength, lab values, relationship with food, and quality of life. Clara creates a supportive, judgment-free space where clients feel heard and empowered. Whether supporting metabolic health, women’s health, or managing heart conditions, her goal is to equip clients with the tools and confidence for lifelong wellness.
